The cutest ones I ever seen!
We had a great Happy Halloweeeen!
By the way...I am still finding little yellow feathers all over my house. The Nashville Zoo, S.M., TSC, and K.M are probably too....OOPS! Sorry!
I will be honest, I have never been the biggest Halloween fan, but more of a "Happy Harvest" kind of gal. Although, now that I am older and I know I am not doing anything "evil", I have really started enjoying this holiday. It is fun for me to do pumpkin crafts with my kids and come up with ideas for costumes.
This year, thanks to Mrs. Brown, Graham was this adorable little scarecrow.
After thinking I could talk Lila into being a kitty cat, she announced to me she wanted to be a froggy. I was ok with this, because I would be making her costume the same, just changing the colors. Then she said she wanted to be a "CHICKEE"! Well, that was it. I headed to Joanne's to get yellow tulle and feathers! She turned about adorable as well!
This year was super fun for us because Lila was really starting to get into the Trick or Treating.
We kicked off Halloween by heading up to Ghouls at Grassmere at the Nashville Zoo.
They even had a "costume pageant" that I HAD to enter Lila in. All they did was line up and walk across the stage and then they received candy at the end. I must admit, Lila was super cute when she stopped in the middle of the stage and waved at everyone! :)
Lila loved riding the monkey on the carousel, but Graham was not too crazy about it. She also loved dancing in the lights and playing games. She is quite the cheater though!!
On actual Halloween we went to our church's Fall Festival. I tried to snap some pictures of them before heading out, but G was not having it. (Do you find I say this alot?) That boy is set in his ways and is either really happy, or really MAD! It was super fun and Lila had the best time playing all the games. As mentioned before, she will find anyway to win. Graham was not too happy about being stuck in the wagon and only wanted to eat Lila's cupcake that she won at the cakewalk!
We then went to our sweet friend's, Hope and Maddie's. Let me just tell you, Lila was SO excited to go trick or treating with them. An added bonus was seeing another one of her Kindermusik friends. She finally got the hang of saying "Trick or Treat" and getting her candy. Watching them just totally melted my heart. We went back to the house and once Graham was free, I fianlly got a smile out of him. Too bad he has both his jacket on and his paci in his mouth. He was just glad to be down and playing. Lila, Hope, and Aiden enjoyed a Dora movie. I have noticed since that day, that Dora has become one of her favorite new characters! :)We were so thankful to be invited to such a fun little Halloween Party! As usual, everything was perfect and so sweet and thoughtful! Thank you Martins!
After heading back to the neighborhood, we of course had to stop and visit with our neighbors. It was a long day, but boy did we have fun! Lila loved the load of stuff in hers AND Graham's "booket." (we can't figure out why she started calling it this....sigh, KIDS.)
One day I WILL get really good photos of all my children together. One day.....
We don't want to forget the Tacky Wacky Wigorama party that just Michael and I got to attend without little chickee and scarecrow. Now these are some tacky wigs if I have ever seen some. Don't ask what we are dressed as, because, well...I don't know. We were still trying to find something to wear an hour before the party. We sure had a great time though! I still want a recount on our Guestures game!!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, HAPPY HARVEST! Whatever you want to call it is fine by me!
