I had so much fun this Halloween. We started out the night with 13 people over for dinner- just family. I made homemade pizza for the kids, and for the adults I made cornbread and put on a pot of homemade turkey chili. I love having people over with all their kids. It was wonderful chaos- babies and kids everywhere.
Here are a few scrapbook pages to commemorate the night.
Beach Bunny dressed as a ladybug. She loved her costume for most of the night. At one point she considered being a streaker instead. I was able to convince her to put her costume back on after I told her that all little children must wear clothes in order to go trick or treating.
Thankfully she complied.
This was the first year we let the boys be something scary. I’m still not convinced I like the idea. I guess they can’t be super heroes forever. Sigh.
I have to end on a not-so-scary note.

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".
