Halloween sure was fun this year! Having children really makes the holidays more fun!
Halloween week started out at Benjamin's school for a costume parade. We woke up extra early on Wednesday and made sure our little Woody was dressed and ready to go. Any mom knows that having kid(s) requires lots of organization... I had my camera, diaper bag packed, lunch made, backpack ready, video camera charged, modified Rebecca's schedule so she would be happy during the parade, ect.... so off we went...
Once at school Benjamin was a little overwhelmed seeing all his friends in their costumes. These were the best pics I got before the parade.
After drop off I wheeled Rebecca and joined Amanda and the girls in the gym waiting for the festivities to start. Audrey was super helpful and insisted on giving Rebecca her bottle.
We got there extra early so we could have great seats.
Class after class came in ... being a great aunt I made sure to document my precious nephew parading his knight costume around the gym...
After Luke's class left everyone started clapping and to my horror I realized I was in the wrong spot for Benjamin's parade!!! I might of wheeled over a few mom's toes, took out a small child in the way, and dropped my camera in a effort to make it clear across the school to reach Benjamin. Sadly I missed it. His teacher was sweet enough to let me come into his classroom. With Rebecca screaming in the hallway I quickly tried to snap some pictures. At this point Benjamin was very confused and wanted to come with me which he NEVER does. I left him screaming in his teachers arms and went to my car and bawled. (haha.) Looking back it is a super funny story but in the moment I was a little devastated.
The next day (Halloween) I woke up and was bound and determined to make my little guy feel the Halloween love. The second he opened his baby blues he was in his costume and wore that thing until bedtime. He was Woody for the day.
We enjoyed a fun lunch with Stephanie and Elizabeth at Chick-fil-a.
Kyle and Rebecca
(Note: Rebecca's twisted shoe. ha)
While his sister napped I snapped these beauties. I was so pleased they turned out so adorable.
Our Bizzy woke up and she was a little less cooperative with the photo shoot.
Best I got. Taking pictures of babies gets so much easier when they can sit.
Benjamin kept putting his hat on my head and thought it was the funniest thing.
Before Trick-Or-Treating my sweet friend Elizabeth invited us over for a yummy dinner. Benjamin loves her girls!
Don't be deceived by this photo.
Our busy bee cried the whole time we were there...
More accurate picture of how she behaved. :)
After dinner we headed out to get our Trick-Or-Treating on! Elizabeth made some delicious apple cider that we sipped on throughout the night.
Benjamin's first house.
The caravan.
Will and I were laughing so hard because Benjamin was determined to sit in the wagon after each house. He would get his candy and run to the wagon.
Sitting pretty in his pink chariot.
Bizzy finally perked up.
I am all about celebrating Halloween but man some of these houses were scary! We came upon a super scary/evil house and the kids weren't too sure about it. The home owners were out on their driveway so passing them seemed rude.
Here they are walking past the graveyard with decaying bodies coming out of the earth. :/
Elizabeth and I were laughing and trying not point out all the decorations that were progressively getting worse.
It's safe to say this house will be passed next year... :)
I spy Woody.
The following night Rett and Ashley threw an adult Halloween party.
Having some kid-free time did the body good for this Duck Dynasty dude and scarecrow.
We had so much fun!
Ashley and I are bringing back the peace sign.
Well that sums up our fun Halloween!
Yes, he is in his pjs. Yes, he is eating candy for breakfast. Yes, his pumpkin is empty/'lost.'
Stay tuned for more posts soon- Rebecca's 4 month doctor appointment, her first lake weekend and Benjamin's big boy bed.
