Happy Halloween!! We were very busy this year celebrating the Holiday! On Friday the 28th, we took the kids to Trunk n Treat at TUMC...it was the largest the event has ever been. We were able to spend the 1st hour together as a family enjoying everything the event had to offer and then I worked at the face painting table for 1 1/2 hours while Jeff took the kids home and got them ready for bed. For the 1st time in a long time, the night turned very cold, which was unexpected since we are so used to sweating our booties off on Halloween. On Saturday, we met Granni and Payton, who she had for the night, at the Alachua Pumpkin Patch for some fun and pictures. On Halloween itself, Addison had a parade at her school, followed by a party in her classroom, and then we went to a MOPS play date party. When Brooke and Austin got home from school, we carved our pumpkin....giving the messy job to Daddy & the girls, and then I tackled the actual carving of the face. You wouldn't think carving a pumpkin would be so challenging, but man....it kicked my booty! We joined Heidi & Jeff and their kids and walked around our neighborhood and Blues Creek....the kids got more than enough candy! It was the 1st time in the 4 years that we've lived at our house that we've really gone trick-or-treating. We had a blast and it is so nice to have such great neighbors to share the holidays with.
Addi's Owl costume, complete with tail feathers was a labor of love created by scratch by Granni & I. I couldn't have asked for a better final product!!
