Happy Halloween!

Halloween evening began as all special events do at the Jewell household...with a photo shoot!

Our little pumpkins loved the real pumpkin, the grass, the leaves, and loved watching the other trick-or-treaters.  Isaac, however, did not love his stem hat.  Elliott was a good sport, but Isaac pulled his hat off faster than we could put it on his head!  After a few minutes of playing and admiring Elliott's stem, he tried to put it on himself, but he wanted no help.  Needless to say, the hat spent more time in the grass than on his head. 

Our French pumpkins! 
That's what Bob called them since the stem was beret-style.
The first shot before Isaac realized he was wearing a hat.

Only Isaac can put the hat near his head.  So independent!

Brother, is your leaf better than mine?

Precious pumpkins!

Nature and other kiddos beat taking a picture with Mom and Dad any day of the year!

After our photo shoot, we went to a Halloween party at Ann and Brandon's house.  We had lots of yummy food and excellent company!  Elliott and Isaac played with their little buddies and had so much fun!  No candy for these kiddos, but lots of puffs.  A line of puffs on the floor worked like magic to get the babies to stay in one spot for a quick picture. 

Pumpkin Isaac, Dinosaur Isaac, Pumpkin Elliott, Snow White Madeline, and Strawberry Hadleigh.
All little buddies except Dinosaur Isaac were born within two weeks of each other in October 2010.  Isaac was born two months later in December.

One would think none of the children ate supper by the way they swarmed Laura.  Thankfully, Isaac and his mom did not mind sharing their food with the other little trick-or-treaters.  Food is always better when it belongs to someone else!

Elliott was such a good sport with his costume.  He kept his hat on throughout the entire party!  He only took it off in the car when we were about halfway home.  Isaac thought the party was a blast--he was asleep before I finished buckling his car seat!  The evening ended with a special Halloween treat from Meme--fun, new cars and trucks.  After checking them out and crawling around the den with them, our pumpkins pooped out!

We hope everyone had a great Halloween!
