We had a lot of fun this year carving pumpkins with the kids. The loved scooping the mess out and decorating them(and eating the seeds). I was shocked when Morgan actually drew a face on her pumpkin with eyes, ears, nose, mouth and cheeks- all of which were in the right spot. She is only 2.5 years old! She is a genius! Plus, she is starting to wear underwear now- even when we leave the house. I think she has got this potty training thing mastered!
Then, we made it through another FREEZING cold halloween! The kids looked adorable in their Star Wars attire. They lasted about 45 minutes trick or treating which was plenty! Unfortunately we have tons of candy left over and I can bet who will be eating most of it! Darn it!
"Swingers"
We had close to 50 people over on Halloween night for our annual party which was a lot of fun! The costumes were hilarious as always. Al and I went as embarrassing 70's "Swingers" which got a few good laughs. We also had a couple H1N1 costumes, Billy Mays and the Mighty Mendit, Shamwow guy, the Travelocity Gnome and so many more funny ones. We spent all of Sunday cleaning the jello shots off the floor. It is so much work to have the party but it is a ton of fun every year. Thanks to everyone who brought along a toy for the toys for tots donation we collect for. Our dining room table is full with toys and we can't wait to donate them later this month.
"Swingers"
On another note, the cabin we fell in love with in Wisconsin didn't work out. I am really upset that it fell through because it would have been so perfect for our family to enjoy for years. Nothing has compared to this one so its very upsetting. We are probably heading up north again this weekend in to look at other cabin options but it is so hard to get over the one we loved. Hopefully we will find something amazing (and cheap!)
Next week I head to Jacksonville Florida for work and I am already thinking about how I will miss my babies so much! Thank goodness its only a couple nights. Al has at least one more business trip too before the holidays which will be 6 nights long.- Lord help me! So much to do before the holidays arrive!!!!! Let the stress begin!
