Low key Halloween

We enjoyed our weekend with Tia Memi (aka Aunt Amy), Jessica and my mom. We all caught up, cooked and ate great food, played with the babies and we even did some shopping. I was so grateful for the helping hands with my babies, and I think they enjoyed it too. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures, so all we have are the memories.

We dressed the kids up. Max was a train conductor and Madeline was a pumpkin. We tried to get a picture of the two of them. Max didn't want to share the spotlight, but we got a picture anyway. Our wonderful neighbors Jennifer, Tommy and Jaxen had a Halloween party. It was perfect! There was great food and the kids had so much fun playing outside. Jaxen and Max are starting to play more together and jabber lots. They don't always like sharing, but they are learning. We didn't plan on taking Max trick-or-treating since we were tired and we didn't want him to get lots of candy he can't eat (peanut allergy). But our neighbor Chuck invited Shawn to go with them and they did. Max did fine most of the way, then a skeleton scared him. After that he was calling for "Mama", so Shawn brought him home. Happy Halloween!!
