Trick or treat

So, I thought I would share our Halloween Story!
My sister Randi an her two kids came over on Saturday. Randi needed help with her math homework so here they were. I dont know what it is, but her children REALLY GET ON MY NERVES! I love them, I really do...but I just can't handle them in big doses. For some reason Randi decided to go all the way home to get the kids halloween costumes even though I tol her no one would be out on Saturday night...but what do I know, right! So anyway, they didn't get back until nearly 8 in which she realized no one would be trick or treating. So they decided to stay the night. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
So Sunday, all the kids woke up and I made them all cereal. Landry, Logan, and Isaiah all got coffee cups of dry cereal and when they finished, Logan and Isaiah noticed that Isabella had a bowl with milk...so then they wanted milk. Logan asked for a bowl, but Isaiah wanted to keep the coffee mug...whatever - It was pretty sweet to have them all sitting at the table eating...Although it wasn't silent...Isabella and Isaiah, shovel food in their mouths and then it is so full that they have to leave their mouths open to eat so all you hear is smack smack smack....I can't stand that. It literally makes me fell sick. Anyway, the day went on...and because the kids had all been playing so hard, we gave them all a bath before getting into the costumes. It was so funny...I put all four of them in one tub...Landry was only in there for about 10 minutes...and she was pissed that I took her out. After I got her lotioned, diapered, and dressed, I gave her a bottle and went after Logan. JR got Logan dressed, while I actually put some real clothes on!
At 7:30 we took some photos and then hit the sidewalk. Landry was so funny. She sat in the stroller and didn't move. Since she goes to bed at 7:30 I had expected crying and screaming and a very short trick or treat evening...but she never made a sound. She just sat in the stroller and that was it. Isabella and Isaiah ran off and left us in the dust after each house...then they would get to the next house and have to wait for us to get there...you would think they would have figured it out and stopped running, but they didn't. Logan did great he made it a block and a half before he just couldn't go any further. He would get to the house and say Trrrriiiiccckkkk oooooooorr ttrrrrreeeeeeeaat....long and slow. Then he would say thhhaaaaannnnnnnkkkks. So JR decided to take him home. JR said they made it all the way down one street and then Logan started to veer off...JR would look at him and his eyes would be closed, as if he was falling asleep while he walked, so JR carried him the rest of the way home. The rest of us went another block and a half and came home...by that time it was close to 9 and Landry had been sleeping in the stroller since 8. So I got her home changed and in bed and that was that! Happy halloween!
