Purcell Family: Trick or Treat

What a busy weekend!! We started out with Miss Madison's birthday party on Saturday. The weather was absolutely perfect. Madison had a princess themed party and dressed as Snow White. Nolan had a fun time playing with the other kids and hanging out with his daddy. Nolan is a little shy around others, so he mostly sat back and took everything/everyone in. Nolan has this new thing he does with is tongue, so in a lot of the pictures you will notice his tongue sticking out. He sticks it out and sucks on it to make a loud popping/clicking noise.

After the big party, Nolan went home and crashed. Today, Bill, Nolan, and I ventured back over the The Keller's home to carve pumpkins and take the kiddos Trick or Treating. Edwardsville has Trick or Treating on Halloween Eve because the town has a HUGE parade on the evening of Halloween. Bill and Mark took to cleaning out the pumpkins, while the boys were put into their pack n play. Madison, Tiffany, and I worked on her pumpkin since it only required stickers, no mess!!

This containment lasted maybe 15 minutes before the boys wanted out!!

Tiffany and Mark's

I might add Tiffany carved her pumpkin in about 10 minutes. She took the award for the master carver of the group.

After we finished carving the pumpkins, we sat down for a quick bite of delicious Taco Soup, compliments of Mark, fed the kids, and had them dressed in their costumes. Once again, the boys took some persuasion to get theirs on, but in the end they all looked great!! Nolan was a sack of potatoes, Madison was Snow White, and Grant was Dopey.

Its hard to tell, but Nolan's sack says, "Purcell Tater Farm"

Grant, Madison, and Nolan dressed and ready to go...

Bill, Nolan, and I said our good-byes to the Kellers and went to visit the Martinez family. Poot fell asleep in the car on the way to their house, but he was happy to play with Miss Ali and Sam once he arrived at their house. Nolan is used to being in bed by 7:00pm and the last couple of nights have been late ones. He doesn't know how to cope with all of these late night adventures.
