Happy Harvest Time!

Okay... so this is going backwards. But on Halloween, we went out twice. Once to the mall with some MOPS pals. And then again out around our neighborhood. Below is the kids basking in the glory of their loot! Thank goodness they have an insane father who will push the limits when it comes to trick or treating. Two hours in minus 12 temperatures with two toddlers....brave man.



Elijah's 'Boo' bum. Thanks Margaret and Shane... he wore your sleepers every day this week.


Ava dethawing in the sink after trick or treating. I literally had to run the warm water over her hands and feet to get her back to regular human temperatures. Again, thanks Dad! LOL!


Ava went in the evening as a lioness. She had the roar down pat. Here she is in all her bundled beauty.


Kynan decided he wanted to be a Monster Truck, so Dana made this awesome Monster Truck costume. Complete with working headlights. He even had these awesome trucker sunglasses at the mall, but it was too dark at night to wear them.


My friend, Marcella, made us a fabulous Halloween costume for Elijah. I love it. A lobster. He looked to delicious, I could have just ate him up. LOL.


So when deciding what to where to the mall, Ava vigurously went through our tickle trunk for a costume. I thought maybe a princess, or a singer... maybe even a dragon. This is what she pulled out asking for 'blood paint'. Only my daughter. What can I say, but she marches to her own drum. But she sure did make a scary vampire



On Friday, we had a fabulous fun family day and took the kids to the Hay Maze and then to lunch. It was so much fun. We had lunch at Applebees and then came home to carve pumpkins. In all years past, Kynan has loved carving but this year he didn't want to get his hands 'wet'. Ava on the other hand, was right in there and loved the slimy guts of the pumpkin. She degutted 3 pumpkins and laughed the whole time.






And I will leave you with my darling pumpkin, who has been such a cuddle monkey and I have loved every minute of it.
