It's So Spooky....


It's So Spooky was Drew's Halloween slogan this year.  On Nick Jr. there is a show called Bubble Guppies, and the characters have a little song for Halloween... so of course Drew sang it all.the.time.

Halloween was a lot of fun this year.  We went with a Disney theme with the costumes.  Addie has planned on being Alice in Wonderland since July... then switched to Dorthy from Wizard of Oz for about two weeks... then switched back to Alice.  Addie was convinced that Drew needed to be the Mad Hatter to go with her Alice but Drew had other plans.  I had gone to Goodwill looking for the Mad Hatter digs and looked high and low at Target to round out the outfit... it is not easy finding two year old clothes like the Mad Hatter:)  

Well as you can tell from the above picture, Drew was not the Mad Hatter.  When I tried to get the costume on Drew, there was a revolt.  He did not like the jacket... the hat... the shoes... or the scarf. He just kept saying, "I DON'T LIKE IT!"  So when I asked what he wanted to be for Halloween, he said Mickey.  So with four hours to go until the Halloween Event on Main Street, I was trying to figure out a way to turn Drew into Mickey Mouse.  What can a mom do with big white buttons, Addie's bloomers, old black dance tights, and black mascara??? Turn my little boy into a pretty cute Mickey Mouse!

We walked up and down Main Street collecting candy and saying trick or treat!

Then we went to LiLi and Poppa's house to get our packs of Starburst before hitting the neighborhoods around town. 

We collected about 46 pounds of candy... Kyle and I ate about 2 pounds after the kids went to bed... and the rest went into the kids treat jar to disperse throughout the year!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Halloween Week Extravagnaza....

Halloween might just be a day on the calendar but in the life of today's children the festivities last about a week. We had preschool parties... costume day at dance... Harvest Celebration at church... and the actual Halloween night. The picture roll that follows pretty much captures the spooky and cooky week.

Two happy girls having a lot of fun.
Addie's face when I walked in was great... she did not know I was coming:)


Costume Night at Miss Amy's


Addie's fins got in the way of her groove...


Forget letting mommy help.





Trick or Treating on Main Street.


Meet Ariel and Sebastian





Watching the puppets that Drew ABSOLUTELY loved. When the show was over he cried and threw a fit. Life lesson #2453 Harvest Celebrations at 3pm are very hard on a 19 month old who has not had a nap.


Aubree and Addie

The Little Mermaid meets Alice and Wonderland...


Knox as Bam-Bam.



Papa and LiLi came to check out the fun...




Getting ready to trick or treat..


Why are we going for more candy when they already have some in their hands????
Drew is thinking crab costume+ car seat= misery.

We are officially candied out and Addie is already planning next years costume selections for Drew and her.... this week it is a cheerleader and football player... we will give it about 360 days and see.
