I felt a little stressed this year about costumes. I scoured the internet looking for the perfect costumes for the boys to be 2 firemen and a dalmatian. But I didn't find what I wanted for the price I wanted (because I'm not spending a fortune for an hour of wear time) and the sizes I needed. Finally I just gave up, and used some hand me downs we already had for X and Wes, and a costume I'd picked up earlier for E.. The kids are still too young to request a certain costume. They were happy with what I told them they would be.
So I present to you...........Frankenstein, Tigger, and a Puppy.
Walter had school Halloween night so he wasn't home to trick or treat with the kiddos. He was really bummed about that. But, Auntie Donna was in town and did an excellent job helping the boys trick or treat with me. And Gma Debbie was nice enough to stay back at the house to hand out candy. We only made it about 2 streets because then X wanted to come back home and eat his candy!
Back to why we didn't carve our pumpkins.....
We went to the pumpkin patch Saturday morning with our good friends. Saturday evening we had to volunteer at church. Then Walter had to work on Sunday. So carving just didn't happen. I think we'll do it with the boys next weekend (if the pumpkins last). That's the beauty of having small kids who don't really know the difference yet :)
We had a blast at the pumpkin patch. This is our 4th year in a row. Walter has a ton more pictures on his phone, but the likelihood of me downloading those any time soon is pretty slim.
Wes threw a big ol hissy fit when it was time to go. Somebody's always cryin.......
Our little family of 5. Although you can barely see E.
His little white bunting suit blends in with my sweatshirt!
A few days before Halloween we took the boys trick r treatin at the "Old Folks Home" where my gma used to live. They were Frankenstein, Dracula, and Skeleton for that one!
Well, I guess now it's on to Thanksgiving! Maybe I could dress the boys as Turkeys???
