Halloween Fun!

This year Emily decided to dress up as a police officer. She then decided (in typical 4 year old fashion) that mommy and daddy should dress up as her prisoners. The babies had pumpkin costumes that just happened to have black and white striped onesies underneath so she called them pumpkin prisoners:) We took all 4 kids (that still sounds weird to me) to UA's sorority row trick or treat on Thursday night. This was our first time out with all 4 at the same time (mom and dad stayed home to rest up). While difficult to get them all out and there, we did have fun. Ran into a lot of friends and met 2 other families with triplets that were older than ours-so now we know we will survive this time of complete exhaustion! On Friday, Emily's class had a Fall Party and my dad (Papa) was asked to come carve a pumpkin and go trick or treating with them at a nearby office building. Emily asked him to dress as a prisoner too and of course Papa said yes:) On Friday, Emily and I went to a Fall Kids Concert at church. An amazing kids artist, Brent Weber, sang and entertained the kids for the night. Emily had so much fun dancing to the songs. Then on Saturday, we were happy to have lots of visitors! Aunt Donna and Uncle Tommy, GG (Great Grandma), PawPaw, Shirley and Nancy came to visit. On Sunday, we received a special visit from the Great Pumpkin. In our house, if we leave all of the Halloween Candy out on the porch for the great pumpkin, he leaves wonderful gifts. Emily is allowed to have two pieces of candy but the rest is given out to the great pumpkin (trick or treaters) later in the evening. This year, he brought pajamas and books! We had SO much fun all week!
