Trick or Treat!

We are all exhausted from a busy weekend of Halloween fun! And we have a 100 pictures to prove it!

On Friday we stopped by Mark's NCM Halloween party/contest to check out Daddy and his friends in their Karate Kid costumes! Daddy looked pretty good as Cobra Kai! Check out his sweet moves! His company really goes all out with decorations, candy, costumes, & themes! Nolan loved it all! Heath was a little freaked out by some of the scary things and held on to us with a death grip as we walked through the office!

On Saturday night we headed over to carve pumpkins with Payton and Brady! Heath was exhausted by the time we actually started carving so he went to bed. Next year he'll be able to participate more!

Nolan helped a LITTLE, but wasn't too into the pumpkin carving process...he was much more interested last year. This year, he just wanted to play cars. Brady has too many fun toys!

Mark does a great job carving...my job is to collect the seeds and bake them! Yum!

The Syers family pumpkins

But he sure liked the finished product!

Our Frankenstein pumpkin- Nolan picked out the design! O.k. I "coached" him a little in picking out which ones would look cool...but he made the ultimate decision. He loves watching the lit "Frankenstein" and blowing out the candle!

After carving the kids had a great time playing "Bunga" in the pillows...and if you look really closely you'll see Uncle Wes too!

Daddy made himself Dracula fangs for a Halloween snack with peanut butter, apples, and candy corn. So creative! Then he and Nolan pretended to be Dracula!

Heater rockin' out on Halloween and sportin' his skull shoes! (A gift from Kerri Liu when Nolan was born- Nolan wore this same outfit on his 1st Halloween too!)

Hitting up one of the many haunted houses in our neighborhood!

Nolan had a blast going from house to house trick or treating! He LOVED his costume. And he did a great job saying, "Trick or Treat", "Happy Halloween", and "Thank you"! But he didn't want to do much small talk with the neighbors, after he said his thanks he would say, "Let's go to the next house!" He would have gone all night if we let him!

After trick or treating in our neighborhood, we headed over to Oma & Opa's house. Here are all the kiddos together for a picture! From Left to Right: Nolan, Brady, Ella, Heath, Payton, and Rylan! Cohen was there too, but he was sleeping at the time we took this...he was a "stinky skunk" as Nolan would say!

Nolan and Heath with their crazy Oma & Opa!

I was a DC baseball player!

Now what to do with the buckets and buckets of candy we have...we can't possibly eat it all!
Or will we?! That's a scary thought!

Bruce looks like Ringmaster Ned from Bozo's Circus.

Pretty cute costumes you guys have there! It makes me remember the hijinks I shared with my friends, we usually go follow a theme of costumes, just like last year when we go around the neighborhood dressed up as wrestlers from WWE where one of my friends dressed up as Edge, and me as Triple H. It was fun, since I have the motown tress wigs for it (with just a few adjustments).

The sky is the limit when you're thinking about what theme that you'll follow, and the help of lace wigs.
