Stella's POV: it's been a little over two months since mine and the girl's birthday and since we got Oreo. She has been amazing, easy to train. The kids love her they each take turns having her sleep with them. The kids have been back at school for the last month and half so Oreo has been coming to the firehouse with us while we work. Which Oreo loves it she has a lot of people that can love on her and walk her . Right now I am 27 weeks pregnant the kids have been feeling the baby kick a lot and they love it . It's a couple days before Halloween and me and Kelly are at work eating lunch with everyone

S= but that means we have to bring all the kids with us and we also got to pick up two costumes for everyone
K= no we don't the kids can wear the costume to be picked up for the family costumes
S= I don't think that will work especially for kids
K= I still don't think so
S= well we will see who is going to be right tomorrow

We finish our shift the next morning we spent A little time at home before we head to the store to see what costumes we can find

K= all right kids let's go find your costumes
We start looking for the costumes, we find sailor's and shay's costumes super fast. We eventually found Kelly's costume. I decide to be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. We were trying to find Luna costume but all the baseball costume were too much boyish for her
S= sorry lulu that none of the baseball players costumes aren't for girls
LM= it's all right mommy
K= is there anything else you wanted to be for Halloween
LM= maybe I can be either red riding hood or Alice in wonderland whatever we find
S= all right let's go look for them
We only could find a Alice and wonderland costume that fits her once we grab all the individual questions we decided on the Scooby doo crew for the family costume contest at the firehouse. With Shay as shaggy, sailor as Daphne also I will be Daphne and Luna will be Velma and Kelly is going to be Fred. Once we grab all the costumes we go and grab some grocery we needed for the house and then we all head home and get started on dinner. When we got home while we cooked the kids went to play into their room.
K= so buying costume with the kids weren't so bad
S= no they weren't and didn't I say they didn't want to wear the same costumes for trick or treat
K= yes you did I guess you were right
S= wait say that again I was what
K= nope not staying it again god I miss when the kids were little where we could dress them up in whatever we wanted to
S= oh yea totally
We start cooking dinner about an half and hour later dinner was ready. We all eat some pork chops covered with cream of mushroom with some oven brown potatoes. After we eat we play some board games as a family for a while then we all head to bed
Kelly's pov: it's been a couple months since the girls birthday to me it's crazy that the girls are 5 years old already. It was nice to have my family in town Katie promise me next time she comes to visit she will bring her boyfriend along. Stella us over half way though her pregnancy this time it seems like it's going by fast. The kids have been back at school almost two months they are doing great. A couple days ago the chief came up with a fun thing to do which was a costume Contest for the firehouse. Which is a good idea . I thought for sure whatever we picked for the family costume the kids would wear them for trick or treating but I was wrong so we each got two costumes for Halloween. Today is the day of the costumes contest Me and Stella are at the firehouse to help decorate. The nanny is bring the kids over here in a few with their costumes.
CB= all right guys this is looking great thanks guys
K= it's no problem chief
S= so who is going to be the judges for this costume contest
CB= well it's going to be me, hank voight and Sharon Goodwin
K= you aren't doing the costumes contest
CB= no I don't think it's fair the chief and his family can't be the best looking costume in the whole firehouse
S= okay whatever you say chief
MC= but that works
O= hey mouch where is your costume
M= I don't have one I only came for the food anyways
K= of course you did
We finish setting up once we were done the kids arrived so we got the make up and the final touches on our costumes. Once we are all set we go and see what everybody else's. We find April and Ethan. Their kids were Anna and Elsa. April was Olaf and Ethan was kristoff . Then we saw the Herman family and they were dress up as the minions. Matt and gabby were woody and Jessie and the boys were buzzy light year and a alien and miss aria was little bow peep. Brett and her husband were sandy and Danny from grease. Otis and Lilly were a monkey and a banana. We all played a lot of the games that were there. About an hour later it was time for the judging to begin and the half and hour later the judge came up with the results.
