We did way more this year to celebrate Halloween then we have ever done. I think it's because we actually have a child old enough to enjoy it.
The Friday before Halloween we went to the library for story time and the kids were allowed to dress up and go "trick-or-treating" around the library.
Then on Saturday we went to Boo at the Zoo. Oh my it was so crowded and crazy. Addison was so excited but by the time we were actually in the zoo she just seemed overwhelmed and didn't want to look at the animals or go to the booths and get candy. About half an hour into it was found the Trumoo booth and got chocolate milk and that's when she finally wanted to start seeing the animals and started enjoying it all a little bit. Thank goodness for chocolate milk! :) Clark however enjoyed the music and was dancing in the stroller and seemed to be quite interested in all these weirdly dressed people. Oh if you can't tell by the pictures Addison was a Kitten for the library and zoo, but turned into a ladybug for Halloween. The ladybug costume was from 2 years ago and I was very surprised it fit still! Clark was a peapod who was not so thrilled about it either.
We carved pumpkins on Sunday the 30th. Addison only had a little nap after Church and was grumpy until the very end when she said that she wanted a silly face for her pumpkin. So we made a silly oval mouth just like she made on her face! After that she had a blast helping me carve the pumpkin... She wanted to do it all by herself but I didn't think it was such a good idea so she settled on helping me instead.
Ok so I think we have finally made it to Halloween... My Mom was down for a doctor appointment so we had a good time with her. It was so nice to have her here to help with the kids so I could make dinner without Clark under my feet plus the kids just love having her here to play! I made pumpkin shaped pizza maybe next year I will try to do a "spooky supper" like the Whitworths do. It is always so fun! Addison could hardly stand it she was so excited for when we left to go trick-or-treating. She remembered to say "trick or treat" and "thank you" (with some encouragement:) She kept saying. "Let's go to another house!" Clark rode in the stroller eating one of his peas happily. :0 Then we headed back home to watch "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown." It was a very fun Halloween. Oh Tyler even sort of dressed up to take Addison to the door. He was going for detective.... I think... :) Happy Halloween everyone!
