Halloween NIGHT!

Family, trick or treating, chilli, scones, wassail, rain, dressing up, doughnuts, sugar cookies, pumpkin buckets, light jackets, pig ears, umbrellas, doorbells....and much, much more is how my Halloween night was spent.



Right along with Optumus Prime....



and Mr. Mickey Mouse!!!




TRICK OR TREATING!!!













PAPA JEFF'S.....








VOVO'S.....






and of course....GRANDMA TEREASA'S



Carson's highlights
-Absolutely couldn't wait for the fun to begin!
-Loved every second of being Optumus Prime
-Does not like when Lincoln tries to sneak away his bucket
-An absolutely jam packed bucket, might I add
-Him and Lance ran from house to house like nobody's business...those two make good time.
-A whole bucket of candy, yet really the only thing in there he likes is KitKats.
-Gave up his Umbrella for Elle Bell, didn't want to see his sweet girl get all wet.
-Best part of the night....wearing his Optumus mask while Lance wore his Iron Man mask....dream come true for our little superhero's.



Lincoln's highlights
-Screamed for the first 10 minutes of being that famous mouse...doesn't like the ears.
-Once he realized he got candy for keeping it on, all was good.
-Those tiny little legs worked just as fast as they could to keep up with his older cousins.
-Told everyone he saw "trick or treat, thank-you, and Happy Halloween!
-Ate piece of candy, after piece of candy. He doesn't discriminate.
-Momentarily, got delayed while trick or treating. He saw a big truck that was much more fascinating than candy.
-Got left behind while we took Carson trick or treating at Vovo's...don't you worry though, he had just as much fun handing out candy.
-Best part of the night....running through the rain, refusing to be held, and moving just as fast as he could to get that candy.


Mom and Dad's highlights
-Ribs and Chilli at my dads house
-All kinds of treats at my moms
-Watching Lincoln jump a mile every time the doorbell rang, never seen a kid move so fast
-Listening to Carson's sweet little voice say trick or treat and thank-you at every doorstep
-Being with all of our family
-Most of all.....watching our boys live out their childhood, seeing the excitement in their eyes, and knowing that all is right in their little worlds!!!



Oh yeah...wondering what is up with little Miss Piggy..check it out.

Me and my girls at work....me, Tam, and Chels were the three little piggies and our assisstant, Kelly, was the big bad wolf.

Carson can't quit staring at this picture....my costume got his approval, even though I wasn't a princess.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Here comes Halloween....

Busy couple of days around here....busy week to be exact. I tried not to plan any extra projects for myself this week, cause I knew we were going to be busy. Last night, the Cano's had us over for a little Halloween fun. Maria and Shalae planned a little party for the kids. They were supposed to dress up....Optumus Prime was there but my little mouse was not. First off, Lincoln's costume is dry clean only and I wasn't about to risk dirtying it up, second of all.....he doesn't like it. I didn't want to push my luck in having him wear it 2 nights. Wish me luck on Halloween, cause he threw a pretty good fit when I took them for pictures.


Shalae was Snow White. Carson was smitten...he keeps asking me if I am going to be Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty. I say no, and he then tells me "well, you won't be as pretty as Shalae". Oh well, I will just be ugly, old mom....haha.


Snow White telling the other princesses (and Optumus, of course) a few stories. I laugh at Lincoln in this picture. He kept standing up and walking around like why are we sitting here in this circle, listening to her talk. He could have cared less.


A few games...


which resulted in candy.



Decorating sugar cookies....my kids are on a sugar high.


And the only part of the party Lincoln cared for....rolling around in the decorations after everything was over. Oh yeah, I guess he enjoyed the cookie too considering he has a big orange frosting stain on his shirt.





Now onto today...we had the little cousins over for our holiday day of fun.





A glimpse of our day of fun...




Pin the smile on the mummy....



Light up milk jug jack-o-lanterns...


And how Lincoln spent his day......




Not at all interested in the party.....much funner to play with toys and help Jen with dessert. Maybe next year.


Trick or treating to end things off. Getting in some good practice come Saturday night.

Happy Halloween all....can't wait to see all of your posts!

Plan B

What do you do on a cold, wet, rainy night in October....


when your original plans of a pumpkin walk were spoiled cause everything was too wet??



You gather up your supplies...which of course includes many treats...many, many treats!


Get yourself some spooky, Halloween shows....kid style.


Invite a couple of tiny tots over (Brevin was too busy for the picture)





and you settle in for a nice, cozy night at home. Had our hearts set on experiencing our first pumpkin walk, but we had to improvise. This was just as fun...the kids were as happy as can be. And I know have Alvin and the Chipmunks in my head...all the time!!!
