Happy Halloweenie!

I love prepping for Halloween. Especially the pumpkin carving and costume making! My hubby was sweet enough to get me a pumpkin to carve! He even found a "weirdly shaped" pumpkin because he "knew that's what kind I like." Haha! Thanks hubs! I couldn't decide whether to paint or carve it, so...I did both. Ellie pointed to it and said...."Oooo scaaawie punkin"!

I also enjoy the decorating, baking, crafting and goody bag making, during this time of year. But since we have been so busy prepping for the twins arrival, it's been a nut house around here and I didn't have any time! I didn't get to dress up this year :(... but at least I got to make Ellie's costume with the help of my mother!!! She was the squid from her favorite book (of course), "I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean".

 

It was her first trick-or-treating experience! My husband and my mother-in-law took her around the block in the wagon! She LOVED it. Waving and saying "Happy Halloween" to everyone :) As soon as they came back, she didn't want to go inside...so she helped my mom give out the last of our candies.

 

Hope your Halloween was great! I know we had a blast! Til next year... by then I'll have to think of three little costumes to make! Hooray! I'll leave you with this image a "stuffed dummy" spooking the kiddos from our porch! Or wait...is that my dad!? Ooooo...
