Halloween 2022

 Well this Halloween was an end of an era for the Ernest Family.  After a 11 year stretch of family Halloween costumes the kids decide they wanted to do their own thing.  I couldn't be mad at them since they have dressed up with us for so many years and never once refused to participate in it.  Skylar went with what all middle school girls were doing which was construction worker and with the massive success of Top Gun this year, Madden and his buddies dressed as Top Gun cadets.  Jake and I rocked the Mad Scientist costumes.

We hosted about 30 kids over for a little pre trick or treating party.

I felt this was our busiest Halloween in a couple years.  The crowds of people was insane.  I bought 1400 pieces of candy and passed out 1 piece per trick or treater and was completely out of candy in exactly 2 hours.  It's always a lot of work but always a ton of fun.

Madden Student of the Month Award

For the month of October Madden received the Citizenship Award and we couldn't of been more proud of him.  He is rocking 5th grade.  Getting great grade and his teacher and nothing but the sweetest things to say about him.  Everyday I drop him off at school I'm in awe that he is going to be in Middle School next year.  I'm just trying to cherish this last year of elementary school for him.
