Pluth Halloween

It has been 4 1/2 months sincy my last update and am almost feeling to guilty to update now~man. Anyway, getting over that I have decided to update you all on our Fall Festivities! So, here we are on a Hay Ride at the Chanhassen Rec Center. Each year Brad and I have taken the kids there for their Fall Halloween Party. They love it. This year was especially interesting as we have three kids 5 and under and trying to keep track of them all dressed up was a bit of a challenge. Here I am with Brody (2 1/2). He went as a Bee and I am a kitty:)

Here is Brad with Raegan(5) who went as Scooby Doo and Gabe (18m) as our little Monkey. Boy was he ever. Not once but twice during the evening he managed to get away from us and hide in the crowd. The first time we were in the gymnasium for the entertainment and he was running around and climbing up the risers. The next thing I know I can't locate the runner. I scan the audience for what seemed like an eternity to find the rascal running around but there was nothing! Eventually I located him sitting on the top bleacher next to another kid just sitting there eating his sucker. When has Gabe ever sat still for 5 minutes! SURE he had to pick then.

The fun continued on Halloween when Uncle Rob, Aunt Rosie and "Wild Thing" Will came over for Trick or Treating in the neighborhood. Aunt Cassie and Captain Roberto (as Raegan called Uncle John--I think he dressed up for story time at a sleepover they had at their house one time--came to take the kids around to a few houses too! It was really great to be surrounded by family and enjoy the evening together. I had to leave for Korea the next day so I was busy packing but it was a great night--our neighbors gave the kids a TON of candy because they only get 5 kids. They made out like bandits with the candy.
