It's Almost Halloween!

We have been busy getting ready for Halloween. We are going with an "Under the Sea" theme this year - Abi is going to be Ariel (big surprise!) and Brady is going to be a lobster. Every day Abi asks if today is the day she can go trick-or-treating. Not surprising considering her love for candy!

Playing Dress Up
Thanks to Aunt Peg, Abi got an adorable waitress costume. She loves to dress up and be our waitress while we dine in her bedroom/restaurant (which she named "The Eggplant Restaurant" - which is kind of ironic because the only things she serves is hot dogs and pizza!) Her favorite part is the fake money which she tries to give away to her customers and best part is that usually the meal is free - when I ask how much I owe, she always says, "We're good".

The problem with having a three year waitress is that it takes quite a while to order food. First, she needs to get comfortable with her order pad and pencil and then proceeds to ask how to spell all of the words of the food that was just ordered.

Brady as a Mummy - Actually his little hands and feet are ALWAYS cold so I bundled him up in a blanket to keep him warm one cold afternoon. He was so comfy, he actually fell asleep sitting up.

Haunted House
Abi and I made a gingerbread haunted house this year. It didn't exactly turn out like the pictures on the box but we still had fun. Of course, Abi's favorite part was eating the candy while we were decorating!

Pumpkin Patch



Picking out the perfect pumpkin

We found it!

As soon as Brady saw the pumpkin, he immediately tried to put the stem right into his mouth!

...and we couldn't forget the front yard
