A Little Backwards....

Well I may doing this a little bit backwards since our trip was a week before Halloween, but I thought I would go ahead and post our Halloween pictures and then do our pictures from our amazing trip next week! We were lucky enough to enjoy 2 nights of trick-or-treating...one at the High School for treat street and then on Halloween we did the shopping center and went house to house. The kids made out like champs, and we now have candy pouring out all over our house! We also had a pumpkin carving party in which the kids all partaked in carving pumpkins....actually I think the activity was left more up to the adults, but oh well, it was fun!

I don't know how this picture snuck in here, but here are the Krupp boys ready for Church (Sunday School)!

Okay, so Lucas hated the face paint - especially the part when I washed it off...so he refused to be a Mickey Vampire again, so here he is on Halloween night as Spiderman!

Were-Kevin

And Thomas hated the abundance of face paint, so this time he just wanted a mustache!

Ready to get some goodies!

Pumpkin Patch, Soccer, Baby Shower

San Diego is just around the corner for us! We leave for our vacation on Tuesday! We are so excited - I think Paul & I are just as giddy about the trip as the boys are. Of course, that doesn't mean that we haven't managed to keep ourselves busy up to the point of our departure. Today we actually went to a pumpkin patch. It was a mediocre pumpkin patch at best, but the boys really enjoyed themselves. We took Elaina with us as well....she had a blast. I think she thinks she is just as old as her cousins!

Last weekend, we had Brittani's baby shower! It was a wonderful time - great guests, games, food! It just made me so excited for Brittani to have her baby! I just can't wait to meet you Toad (that's the nickname for Brittani's baby that the boys have given him).

Soccer is officially over as well. Kevin did really well this season. His first quarter of school is also over - he is already 1/4 way through 1st grade! Time seriously needs to SLOW down!

Well, here are some pictures!

Kevin with his face painted after a CC Tigers Hockey game. He got to go to his friend Sam's birthday party there.

The poo-poo game - you melt different chocolate bars into diapers (so they look like poop). Then everyone has to guess which kind of chocolate is which! It's really fun, but pretty disgusting.

Travis' sister Erin is all smiles while getting diapered.

Marianne getting her diaper on

Go Ashley Go!

Kenzie's new face that she makes and her Aunt Kelly

I hope Brittani is able to do a better diaper for Toad than this!

The great diaper contest - Travis' grandma on the right was the ultimate winner! But all of the contestants did an awesome job!

Thomas packed his backpack for school. He said, "I put my pencil in my backpack & I am ready!"

I don't know why, but Lucas LOVES this picture of himself

Daddy and his twins

Being silly while stretching

Kevin getting ready to give the ball a good kick!

The master of the field

Thomas and Lucas playing around at Kevin's soccer game - I think at this particular moment, Paul told Lucas if he was able to catch Thomas he would give him a dollar! It may cost us money, but it kept them busy for quite some time!

My beautiful little niece! You can't really see them, but she got her ears pierced this week!

Lucas said, "This is AWESOME!"

Best Pals Isaac & Thomas - no doubt that this combination = double trouble!

The boys buried Kevin in the corn

Draven playing away

The cutest sunflowers I have ever seen! About 2 seconds after I took this picture, the boys actually knocked the whole set up down!

Be careful Isaac!

Kevin taking care of his little cuz

Elaina crawling through the tunnel - she actually stopped there for quite a while. Her cousins & Isaac all started cheering her on ("Come on Elaina") and she thought she was such hot stuff. Instead of continuing to crawl, she started to dance.

Lucas as a corn on the cob

The search for the perfect pumpkin
