Halloween 2011

Halloween 2011.  This is one of my all-time favorite family photos. =)

Pilot Sebastian and Firefighter Matteo.

And my little tiger Luca!  So neat that the boys have all worn this costume!

My little monsters before we left to go to the preschool’s trunk or treat.

Snacks for Sebastian’s Fall party at school – I got to volunteer and just spend time with him – what a treat!

Adorable walnut boats they made.

Sebastian with Riley, the little girl he always talks about.

The boys!  They were all together last year too, just two new ones in the class.

Hanging on the playground.

Searching for treasures in a giant haystack.

Daddy and Luca.

Luca and one of his buddies, Lawson at a Halloween party.  They look ferocious don’t they?

The collection of kiddos – the ones that could be wrangled anyways….there were more.

And all of the Mami’s with the Round #2 babies. =)

Time to carve our pumpkin!  It’s as big as Luca!

Great picture!  But so not descriptive of how things went down.  The boys wanted nothing to do with getting the gooey pumpkin insides out.

At least Matteo was into the carving part.

When Daddy got home from work we went to another Trunk or Treat event.  The kids had fun since they had all sorts of games and bounce houses too.

Matteo wanted to eat the candy as fast as he got it.  We just let him have it.  It’s Halloween, why not.  I did have to try to stay calm though….

My happy little tiger!

Another favorite picture!  Thanks, Christine for taking it!  Loving on this little guy is so much fun!

We ran into Sebastian’s little girl friend Riley and they were so happy to see each other and jump in the bounce house together.  Ahhh….=)

We rounded out the evening giving out candy from our driveway to the neighborhood kids.  Matteo was cranky and hungry for real food since all he’d had was candy so he didn’t join us this year.  But Sebastian loved handing out that candy!

Matteo's Halloween Party and Trick or Treating

My mini-astronaut at his playgroup party. He loved wearing the hat.

Mami and Teo!

All the kiddos! The magic of photoshop made this photo possible. =)

We've known all these babies since they were a few weeks old, so it's always fun when we all get to be together again.

Pumpkin patch. Not the best one this year, but next year, when we are actually living at home, hopefully we can find a great place to go!

Matteo's ready to go trick or treating!

We went to a Trunk or Treat event at a local church that was fantastic. Great candy, free food, games and even free pumpkins. Sebastian ended up having a pretty good time once he got into it, but unfortunately Matteo fell asleep and didn't wake up until the very end right before we left...next year!

He would not wake up for anything!

Sebastian always picked the lollipops. Which he of course doesn't eat (he doesn't eat any candy for that matter) and Paul and I kept thinking - pick the chocolate!!!!!

Fall family photo. Some of the trunks had amazing decorations!

Matteo finally woke up at the very end here, but he was not a very happy camper.

When we got home, the boys had fun going through the candy we were going to pass out.

My Space Boys.

A great evening to sit outside. We had a fun Halloween!

Sebastian's Halloween Party

At Sebastian's school, they have a Fall Celebration but no Halloween. The mom's thought it would be fun for the kids to see each other in their costumes though, so we planned a little Halloween Party for the class. It took lots of convincing to get Sebastian to be okay with going, but in the end he did have a good time. We learned that for some reason the actual word "party" makes him stressed, so as long as just called it playing or get together or something else he was fine.

Astronaut Sebastian with his Space Shuttle and Kennedy Space Center bus.

Almost half of his class and a few younger siblings too.

So cute.

He was more than happy eating his Cheetos and Hummus. Funny kid!

LOVED the spider rings. Big hit.

Cheeeeeessssssssseeee!

So much fun that he fell asleep on the way home.
