Happy Halloween 2012

So this year I decided to make a tradition start. The Sunday before Halloween is when our family will carve our pumpkins. We can get them before that time of course but since pumpkins tend to get yucky quick after carving and or people or animals destroy them then why not do something with them just before the holiday season really starts. I let Brianna pick out 3 pumpkins. 2 to carve, and one to color on. For getting them the saturday before Halloween I'd say we got some very good decent looking ones. And when it comes to the carving, I must say I am very pleased with myself on how I did because this was my first year actually doing the carving.

 

 

Brianna had such concentration when it came to doodling on her pumpkin. Mainly because she wrote her name on it. Just learning how to write your name and doing it on a pumkpin is very tricky, but she was a pro at doing it and it came out awesome. Poor little Preston was just stuck in his swing while mommy played with a knife and gooey stuff and sissy colored.

 

 

The day of Halloween came. 2 days of lack sleep finally crept up to me as I got a headache and felt like poo, so I tried relaxing for the most part. I had to get the house back to being clean (amazing that I can clean house spick and span and then have it looking like I never did anything to it in about 5 minutes) since Clayton comes home this evening. Of course my wanting to make cookies didnt help my cause for not making a mess because if you know me and how I cook/bake I'm a very messy cook, I dont tend to clean as I go, I just wait until the end to clean. But I had my helper with me :)

 

 

 My headache went away around the time I had to start getting Brianna and Preston ready to trick or treat. For 2 weeks Brianna has talked about being Belle for Halloween, so she was. Luckily I knew Preston wasnt going to really care about trick or treating being only 3 months old so I didnt get him a costume but Clayton bought him a cute "hunting" outfit and I put him in that, so if anybody asked I could say he was a hunter (no one did ask but they did say awww cute baby... well duuuhhh)

 

 

After only 2 blocks Brianna decided she was done with trick or treating. The blocks that we got to didnt have very many houses that had candy either, unless they just didnt have their lights on yet but one stretch had multiple doors with signs saying no candy. So we made our way back home. Bri took her Belle dress off and once Preston was done eating she used my nursing apron as a cape and became a super hero for Halloween. She did seem to have more fun handing out the candy then she did getting it.

 

 

 

Well Happy Halloween everyone!!
