As most parents know, Halloween is a hard holiday for kids. From the second mine woke up they were asking to go trick-or-treating. They couldn't believe they had to wait all day to go! So we told them they could pick one fun thing to do, and they picked bowling. So we headed to Big Al's! It was actually quite fun. The kids had a blast. Kaitlyn quickly discovered that she could run up and throw the ball (only dropping it a couple of times) and Matt pushed his. They did pretty good, although it was blatanlty obvious that no one in our family is bowlers. The final scores were Kaitlyn: 65, Matt:65, Me:80 and Aaron:97. I will say that Aaron finally got a strike and broke 100 on the second game, but the rest of us didn't really improve.
After all day of waiting it was almost time to go. Gabe and Wendy and the girls came over and we had some pizza, then went trick-or-treating together. The kids were all so cute! Everytime Matt and Katie would run up to a door their little capes would fly out behind them. We went around all block and by the end of it, Matt was done. So he headed home with Daddy, and the rest of us went over to Gabe and Wendy's neighboorhood. We made it about four more houses, then Katie pooped out. The bigger girls were die-hards and we made it a few more blocks. By then Annie was pretty cold and tired, but alas, Kaitlyn could have gone all night. Crazy kids pumpkin was totally full and she kept trying to smash it down so she could go to more houses. All in all, a great Halloween!

So So cute!! I love those kids. Oh, but you might consider changing your font color. It's hard to read on that background. Luv you all!
How fun! We love bowling. That was a great idea for a Halloween activity. Your kids look so cute!
CUTE pictures!! Sounds like so much fun. Bowling is a GREAT idea!!
The kids look so cute! I cant believe Matthew has gotten so big. I still think of him as tiny running around the gym with a cast on!
What a great idea to go bowling! I love the wings on the costume!
Halloween is great for the opportunity to make kids look super cute! I love their costumes! Too bad mine was similar to Kaitlyn's and I'm an adult(it's just a tie tutu that I made myself). I think that it's also an opportunity for the adults to have some fun, too!
Very cute pictures!! What a fun way to spend Halloween day. We spent all day moving into our new office, I felt bad for the boys, how boring for them. You guys are so creative and do so many fun family activities. We'll have to steal some of your ideas :)
