A Spook-tacular Hallow's Eve!

Halloween is HERE!!  The girls, especially, Layla, has been looking forward to this for a month!  What would a holiday be, without a craft?   The girls made a Spooky Gingerbread House this year...and could barely make it through without eating all the "decorations"!




The finished product!!   They were so proud!  (Note:  Clearly, Layla couldn't make it through, as evidenced by the black frosting around her mouth!)


It's Mother Gothel and The Good Witch!!  Layla has wanted to be Mother Gothel (from Tangled) for at least 6 months...no lie.  She was pretty happy with her costume...and even happier she got to wear it 3 times this year, for different events!


Our first house...trick o' treating at The Parkers, next door!


Hooking up with girls' besties from next door...Kiara and Avery...to loot the neighborhood!


After trick o' treating for about an hour,  Layla wanted to be in charge of handing out candy to the other kids!  This may have been a highlight of her holiday!  Such a big girl....


Layla and Nona manning the door.  Seriously, Layla wouldn't leave her post until we shut off the porch light!


Love my girlie...

Halloween Parade

Our neighborhood had a Halloween Parade the Sunday before Halloween!  All the kiddos dressed up in their costumes and we paraded around one of our parks.   Thanks for organizing, Jill, the kids had a great time!

Slack-tober

Wow!  October came and went so fast...I didn't even sneak a blog post in!  Big Time SLACKER!  We did do some pretty fun things, though...like the Pumpkin Patch!  I (and Stacy) chaperoned Layla and Dane's 4K Pumpkin Patch Field Trip.    Check it out:

We enjoyed a hay ride to get a pumpkin!

Checked out the baby chicks!



Took a ride in a boat!


Stuck a landing!


Tried NOT to get e.coli.


And, tried our hand at logging!



The kids loved it!  Honestly, I  just wanted to get back to the concrete jungle and Purell hand sanitizer!
