Halloween

Happy belated Halloween everyone!!!

I absolutely love this time of year. Not only is fall my favorite season, but its also the approach of the holiday season. Yay!

So here is our Halloween activities.

Anyone who knows me (or seen me carve a pumpkin) knows that my skills are lacking. I use to carve the same pumpkin year after year, well that is until last year. I bought the pumpkin carving kits and now my pumpkins are cool.

This year I took on an intricate witch and Jer took on the simple, but cool cat. Unfortunately, Jer's cat did not quite make it to Halloween (it might have been because he accidentally cut off its tail, but you didn't hear it from me!)
















Addie was very interested in the big orange thing, but was not going to touch the big goupy mess that came out of it. I wish that my battery hadn't died that night cause it was really funny.
















So a few days before Halloween, I'm not really sure how it came up, but somehow I agree/suggested to go trick or treating with my elder sister. Then we recruited my other sister so we had all the grandkids together (on my family's side) trick or treating.


















We had a fairy, knight, princess, Monkey, bug, and a ladybug.


















Addie was a ladybug.










































Addie was a big trooper. Jeremy carried her around and she was totally happy the entire time. She waved to some people, just kinda stared at the others.
















Overall I think our first Halloween with a kid was a huge success.

I am such a fan of those pumpkin carving kits. Which was why it put me in a really bad mood yesterday when I couldn't find ours! Obviously I stashed them last year in some super-duper safe place. Hopefully I'll discover it before next year!

Addie is such a cute ladybug!

We had such a great time trick or treating with you guys! I am SOOOO glad that we got some cute pictures! I was really dreading Halloween, being all alone with all the kids but it was much better (for me) than I anticipated! Thanks for inviting me! Way cute pumpkins, by the way! I'm always trying to convince Rich to buy one of those kits! Maybe next year. Addie was the most adorable little lady bug ever!!!
