The kids were good with their "thank yous" for their candy where we trick or treated in Grandview with Gavin and Audrey; starting from Grandma and Grandpa's house. The Green's had "treat bags" ready for the kids with candy and practical things such as small notebooks, pencil, and stickers.
We then went to a weiner roast at Mona and David's "gazebo"! Thomas did an excellent job of roasting our hotdogs and preparing our marshmellows for smores. Oh, how I love smores! Mona's dogs were dressed in their costumes...they were cute. Company was good, and the night was good too! Even if Raelee lost her second tooth there, and I mean lost it to the point of couldn't find it! We don't know if she swallowed it or it fell out somewhere in the yard. She was so upset and worried that the tooth fairy wouldn't find her tooth! Of course, she was reassured that the tooth fairy knows when she looses a tooth and she would find it regardless if it was under her pillow or not. She was excited to know that was true when she woke up to find her $5 under her pillow the next morning! (I wish I had a richer tooth fairy when I was growing up! Really don't know how we settled on this amount.)
Last, but not least, we went and trick or treated Papa Jack and Great Grandma Norma. Apparently this came as a great blessing for Grandma considering she was having a difficult time with Papa. She was relieved to see him calm down once the kids got there and distracted him. It is very hard to see Papa regress so quickly, but he still has his touch at times. Papa was holding Ryan talking to him in his usual word salad, and Ryan was just looking at Papa and gave him a smile and started cooing back. These moments are the ones to hang on too!! Of course, I didn't have a camera ready, but Angie got a picture with her cellphone (she's usually always ready!).
Halloween 2009 has come and gone, with lots of candy and great memories! Now you can see what the kids were dressed as:
It is so difficult to get a posed picture with four children. How do other people do it? This is a "real" shot of the Green kids! :)
Our little tiger
Granddad's Cow Hand
Pretty Pink Witch
Wonder Woman
How cute they are....poor Jack...obviously not happy there. Maybe it was from Wonder Woman's strong hold on him....lol
ReplyDeleteWell, you know the power of wonder woman! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so good. I was just struck with that group shot how much Raelee and Christalynn remind me of you and Angie. Oh, and $5 for a tooth!? Don't you dare tell my kids!
ReplyDeleteI know $5??? What the hey?!? That's going to be alot of money when they all are losing teeth at the same time!!! Oh and Katie, who are you saying is who, with the girls reminding you of JL and I?
