Halloween Festivities

This weeks has been full of Halloween festivities. I love the cooler weather (usually), the leaves all over the streets, the Halloween decorations, carving pumpkins, all of it!

My cute little pirates!

On Monday we had our friends the Smarts over, they have three adorable girls, who are the same ages as our kids (two of ours at least), so it is pretty fun. We carved pumpkins and decorated sugar cookies. The kids didn't do much of the carving however, it ended up being mostly us adults doing that, but they turned out great. They did however enjoy decorating the cookies. Gavin got pretty wild there at the end with the girls, hopefully they aren't too traumatized by his stick whipping...

On Friday Brooklyn and Gavin both had parties. I helped out in Brooklyn's class and it was a lot of fun, then the kids paraded around the school in their costumes.

Our Mom/Tot class also held a party that day at the PG Rec. which Gavin loved, because it was "his" party and of course because they had a huge blow-up slide. After that I was pretty tired, so we went home to rest up before the rest of the night.
Every Halloween we go to my mom's for dinner, she always makes yummy soup and bread bowls, so we went there for dinner, and then went to their trunk or treat.

My bro Ryan and his wife Whitney dressed up as pirates, I thought they looked pretty great,

My baby sister Alyssa was an 80's chick, which isn't much of a stretch since it
seems like they are back! Scary.

After trunk or treat we decided to do a little trick or treating in our neighborhood, so we went with our friends the Smarts, it was pretty fun, but a lot more work with a two-year old. Then off to Spencer's sister Shellie's house to veg and visit. All in all it was a fun week and Halloween.
