This Halloween was full of activity for us! We spent the majority of the day at the local Pumpkin Patch. It is small, but there is a lot of activities to keep the kids happy! Of course, we could not leave without picking out our pumpkins! This Halloween was even more special, because we had this special person with us!
Macie with her Daddy:
It was a very excruciating hot day, but being together made it special! A few photos of our time at the Pumpkin Patch!
After the Pumpkin Patch, we had lunch and went home to begin carving their pumpkins! We spent Halloween night with dear friends! Gabi had been invited to a Halloween party. I kept struggling with, do I let her go, or do I keep her with me? The family that was hosting the party, is such a delightful family! That was not the issue. She has had sleepovers with friends, but I was not ready to let her go trick or treating without us! She is growing so fast, and for me holidays are special, when we can all be together.
In the end, I was happy that she agreed to stay with us. I knew this was a big decision for her. She wanted to be with us, but at the same time with her cheer friends. When she knew we would be trick or treating with one of her best friends, this did help the situation!(She did end up spending the night after trick or treating, so not all was lost!)
This year all three of my kids loved their costumes! Last year, Gabi was not too happy about the costume she had chosen. She was a candy corn, and after about an hour, the costume came off! This year she loved it, and she said she was a "fairytude." I think it means a fairy with attitude! LOL I took a few photos of them before we left the house, because once the trick or treating begins, I cannot catch them!
I love this photo of Gabi:
Roman, luckily was not a pirate again! He has an infatuation with people that work in the service! He wanted to dress up as a person that helps others. He decided on being a fireman!
Roman wanted me to take my black ink pad, and rub it across the costume! He wanted his costume to look like he had just been in a fire! I could not do it! I was afraid of ruining it! LOL
Macie was a ladybug! This is the second year in a row, she wanted to be a bug! Super cute bug, though!
Fantastic day all the way around! I love Halloween!
I am off now to get my day started! Lots to do!
Enjoy your day, and Happy Wednesday!!!
super cute kids, in super cute costumes!
