So Knowing we were set to have a baby sometime around Halloween we were quite thankful there were oodles of Halloween Activities happening the Saturday before the big day. On Friday night we had a pumpkin party, we carved pumpkins that we had picked at the store, as the ones we grew in our garden were little due to that crazy storm that wiped out our garden, we used the little ones for painting and learning about the life cycle of pumpkins they are easy to cut in half, but we found some large ones for carving. James wanted nothing to do with touching the pumpkin goo??? But Addy did great with her gloves on, We had a pumpkin shaped pizza for dinner, and then we made pumpkin seeds and pumpkin cookies to take to all our friends, surprisingly the kids loved the cookies and the seeds. They never cease to amaze me.
Our pumpkins found their way out to the stoop the kids are so excited for Halloween, they really love this fun time of the year. Below our cookies minus the cream cheese frosting, YUM! One of my favorite recipes
On Saturday the plan was to walk my pants off, and that we did, trying to help baby along, We started at Cabella's and did their Halloween festivities complete with trick or treating, We had a Mr. Bones and a Firefighter that day, I painted James costume the night before, he was super happy with it though, the cutest thing ever was him explaining to Doug that without bones we would be blobs, so glad he is learning in coop, They had a bones unit and that was part of the book, he can also point to the smallest bone in his body round about where it is and the largest.
After Cabella's we went to Story time at Barnes and Noble they do a Holiday one on Saturday that is cute, with Halloween festivities. Then we headed to Boo at the Zoo and made a few laps there. We went home for quiet time and then headed out to our Ward Trunk or Treat and Halloween party. It was a very busy day, I was so glad I got to do some of the Halloween fun with them though, We are all just kids at heart in our home, I love it all as much as the kids do, it was really fun
Addy's preschool being religious in nature did a pajama party for Halloween rather then costumes, Addy
wearing her jammies all day she thought it was great! she picked her favorite jammies and then even wore them to go trick or treating with Grandma at the downtown festivities that day. The kids had parties on tues, wed and thurs, which was a busy week, but just loads of fun, who knew Halloween could last a whole week and not get old?
On Halloween day the kids went as Skeletons, all three of them, a sneak peak there of our newest addition, Doug painted Addy's bones and I did James, I found Audryn's at the store so she would fit in. They were adorable together all three of them. The big kids are so into bones right now
Doug dressed up as super Dad to take the kids trick or treating and to a party at his Boss's house They had a fabulous time out , Audryn and I stayed home and handed out candy we didn't have a ton of trick or treaters but some
James had two other costumes besides his bones costume a pirate that I threw together at the last minute from our dress up box and a Builder that he wore twice but Dad dressed him and took him to his parties so no pictures????? Still impressed Doug had them dressed and to their parties on time so can't complain about the missing pictures.... And last but not least our little pumpkin, in her Pumpkin shoot. Yes we still take pictures of our kiddos their first Halloween in a pumpkin, even if they are only days old. another sneak peak at our adorable little one
Hope you all had a super Halloween, we sure did, What a fun time of the year!
