Jonathan and I took the kids Trick or Treating on Halloween night. The kids were so excited! Lily and Maddy wanted to be what they were last year. Lily was a Monarch Butterfly:
And Maddy was a Bumblebee:
Katy was Princess Cinderella:
And Parker was Thomas the Tank Engine!
Parker couldn't wait to ring the next "dumb-bell."
What a fun night together with our sweeties! Thankful for a wonderful neighborhood who celebrates Halloween in a fun way!
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

I had so much fun helping the kids pick out their costumes this year for Halloween. Parker is his favorite ELMO: 
And my 3 girls are their favorite insects. Katy is a ladybug, Lily is a Monarch butterfly, and Maddy is a bumble bee:
On Friday, October 23rd, we took our annual trip to the Knoxville Zoo for BOO! at the Zoo. The kids had lots of fun walking around and getting treats at the different stations.
Parker joined right in:
Maddy was so sweet helping her brother find his way in the dark: 
Parker loved snacking on all of the goodies. Here he is with his mouth covered in chocolate from M & Ms and begging me to open up his Animal crackers! "
Can you believe ELMO ran into Ernie and Bert at the Zoo?
At the end of the trail, we had fun listening to the Party Boys DJ and dancing to the music. 
I love seeing my children joyful! What a fun night!
