Halloween Weekend!!!

This was a great year for the Stouts and Halloween festivities....

It all started with some pumpkin carving :]

 Joey did not want to touch the insides of the pumpkin!!  She said it was gross!

 Poking holes in the pumpkin...

 Did the picture transfer??

Did it???

 It did!!!  Let's start carving!!

My turn first....we got a pumpkin carving kit this year!  I highly recommend spending the $5 to get the little saws...so much easier that anything we have ever done!  We will be buying a kit again next year for sure!!

 I got the mouth and an eye done before letting Johnny in on the action!!

Joey was poking holes in paper while daddy was hard at work!!

 Go Johnny go....he cut an eye out and both eyebrows...

 Our finished pumpkins...Joey painted hers from the pumpkin patch a few days ago!

That night we went to the EWA staff party...this was our attempt at a group shot :]

Halloween night rolled around and all the Life Group kiddos came over to go Trick or Treating!!!  We ate pizza first!

We headed to the other Stout house and danced on Aunt Lisa's stage :]

Amanda's supposed to be off her feet, so we got her a wheel chair for the night!!  Nothing stops this lady :]

 Group shot...from the back it's the Jackie, Joey and Jacob...Kelli and bean...Madison, Hannah, Amanda and Brandon...Johnny, Sammy, Joey, and me {behind the camera :]}

Our little Tinkerbell going to the houses to get some candy :]  We rehearsed and everyone thought she was so cute when she would say trick or treat!!  

Here's Madison, Mily and Joey at the end of the night!  Still smiling, but all sleepy :]

And last but not least, another group shot minus the Barr family :[  They had to get to gettin at the end!

So Halloween is said and done, and I can't wait till next year!  Our trick or treating group is getting bigger, and with 5 new babies in our group it's only going to continue to grow!  It's so fun to see our kids grow up together and make memories with our friends!!!

Halloween

So last night was Joey's 2nd Halloween. Last year she basically sat in a stroller and looked cute in her lady bug costume! This year she was out in full force, trick or treating and all! We started out the night at Aunt Lisa and Uncle Bret's house for some chili and fellowship! Once everyone arrived and was fed, we hit the pavement. Joey only went to a couple of doors, and after a few dud candy houses, Johnny insisted that everyone next year put up a sign saying what kind of candy they were handing out so we don't waste our time on "tootsie roll" houses :) Here are some pics :)

this is Johnny and Joey after the first house we let her go up to..she was so excited!!!

Here's a closeup of her costume....she was a giraffe this year!

.....and another

Our friend Madison had to go potty, so we stopped for a family picture photo op in front of some pumpkins!

Once we got back to Bret and Lisa's house we put Jo in her PJ's and let her hold baby Hannah. Joey loves babies, even though most of them are about her size! Isn't Hannah the cutest bumble bee ever??

At this point she was over holding Hannah :)

Johnny practicing for Stout Seed # 2

These are our great friends the Brandon, and Amanda, and their 2 girls Madison and Baby Hannah. They have come Trick or Treating with us for the past 2 years!

The girls....Joey wanted the baby again at this point!!

The dads handling the situation!

All in all it was a fun night! Joey was so cute walking up to houses! She loved looking in her bucket even though she didn't really understand what was in it. We may give her some candy, but really it's for me and Johnny :) That's right folks, we pimped out our child for candy and we aren't afraid to say it! When we got home at 9p, Joey crashed and so did we!
