Halloween

The kids enjoyed an almost "normal" Halloween this year which was fairly busy despite being on a Monday.  Avery dressed up in Halloween clothes daily for the week leading up to the actual date.  And we had a few fun Halloween parties. Avery even won the costume contest at her friend's party.

Dad also got in on the fun nd dressed up at the office.

For Halloween, Lovett was able to hold their annual Fall Festival again after a subdues event the past few years.  Mom was able to come volunteer which was a fun way to celebrate Parker's last festival.  Parker choose to wear his inflatable gorilla costume which only made it for about an hour before it became too cumbersome to manuver on the bouncy houses in.

Avery's school has book character day on Halloween and she decided to dress up like Ellie Engineer.  She even filled her fanny pack with various tools to complete the look.

That evening we all dressed up in our group costume per Avery's request - Mario Kart.

After a few laps around the front yard, the boys changed into their "trick-or-treating" costume.  And we spent time between a friend's house and our neighborhood Halloween party before heading out to trick-or-treat. At the neighborhood party, Avery entered the costume contest and won "Best High School Costume" because no one else entered.  It was her 4th year in a row winning a costume award.  Dad won best dressed male as Mario making it his second consecutive win (last year was best group costume with Avery).
