Here's a video we did for Adoption Sunday at our church.

Herding Halloween Cats

This was our best attempt to get a shot of all of the kids.  We were still missing two of them.  The phrase 'herding cats' was being thrown around a lot by the peanut gallery.

Lucy and Savanah couldn't even wait to get home to get in to their candy, they just stopped right in a driveway to look at their loot.

NaiNai & G-Pa dutifully gave out candy so Trav & I could  take the kids out.

Mickey & Minnie

Oooohhh, I just love being a mommy at Halloween!  We are now the proud owners of enough candy to keep all of the dentists in VA Beach very happy for a few years.  Tyson took off trick or treating with Travis as soon as we attempted the group shot.  I didn't see him again until he had exhausted the neighborhood's supply of candy.  Lucy really enjoyed going from house to house with her little candy pail.  She put it up on her arm like a purse and wouldn't let go until the end of the night.  I attempted to take some of the candy out to make room for more but she wouldn't have it!    I feel like the luckiest women in the world for having such awesome friends and family who enjoy making great memories for our kids.  I love you all!
