We're off to trick-or-treat! 

Here are Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse (Evie and Avery) in the wagon

Michael and David

Here comes Anna, Alan, Harper, and Finley!

Evie's first house - Avery shows her how it's done

Evie is disappointed she ended up with a chocolate bar instead of a lollipop

Ike is tired

Meltdown! It only took 5 minutes.

Off goes Evie crying (see the bottom of the pic)

This house has lollipops, so all is right with the world in Evie's book

Evie and Avery race to the next house

Now it's party time back at the house!

Ike got a thumbs up from his pediatrician. Here are his stats:

Height - 30 inches (97%)

Weight - 23.5 pounds (98%)

Ike was in constant motion before and during his appointment:

Here are two other cute pics from the visit

Back home, Ike was super happy to be allowed to play with Mama's violin :)

This was Evie at school that morning - the Bear class (her class) 

sang a song with the Cheetah class (Kindergarten class)

Evie was content watching everyone else sing and dance

Halloween at the Zoo

Sunday night we went to the zoo's Halloween event with Anna, Alan, Harper, and baby Finley. 

We all had a great time, and Evie really enjoyed trick-or-treating.

"Oooh, it's trick-or-treating time!"

Evie poses with the smart/nice/pretty princess

Ike doesn't look thrilled to have been stuffed into his Mickey costume :)

All of us (well, minus Matt and Ike)

I had to get my picture taken with the Stormtroopers...

...and Jabba the Hutt.

Evie checking things out

One of the coolest exhibits was a bunch of dancers dressed up in black suits 

with neon lights attached. It was mesmerizing, and it made for some cool photos, too.

The four kids: Evie and Ike, and Harper and Finley

A closer up pic of the kids

Ghostbusters! Can you believe that film is nearly 30 years old?
