Halloween Weekend 2010


Once again, I'm playing a little catch up with this blog. I've been trying to force myself to have better sleeping habits lately...not as many all-nighters...tonight doesn't count though.

We had an awesome Halloween this year, the kids really got into dressing up in their costumes and got to go trick or treating for the first time. We still have candy in both of their pumpkins in our pantry that I have been slowly getting rid of by sneaking way too much for myself when no one is looking! Friday night we carved pumpkins...just little mini-ones this year (so much less mess)! Saturday morning we got up and made pumpkin shaped sugar cookies, then headed off to Adalee's 2nd birthday party which was a blast. Sunday the kids got dressed up and we headed over to Keith and Jana's house for trick or treating. This was their first time to actually go door to door, Hannah and Kaitlyn were totally into it...Hunter was a little skeptical after walking past a little boy wearing a scary "scream mask". I probably would have been scared if I didn't know what it was either. I was beyond proud of myself that I spent very little on Halloween stuff this year. If anyone remembers I had gotten Hunter an Elmo costume on consignment last year for like 4 bucks. Let's just say he totally freaked out when we tried to put it on him, so we had to resort to plan b...a makeshift farmer. This year he LOVED it....wore it the WHOLE night. Man, what a difference a year can make for a kid. Hannah was a lady bug...I couldn't resist it when I saw it at Cracker Barrel...so cute!
