So much for being caught up on the blog! I feel like I blinked and a month flew
by! We had fun decorating our pumpkins
(with paint) for Halloween.
The kids are both in AWANA and the Wednesday before
Halloween, the theme night was ‘crazy hair’. Brody was determined he needed clown hair for
the event, and thankfully, with it being close to Halloween, we were able to find a clown wig! He loved it and wore it
EVERYWHERE (literally) for the entire week!
The weekend before Halloween, we
took the kids to the YMCA Halloween party and Brody won in his age group for
funniest costume – at that point, he wore the mask but not the wig, though I
love this photo taken of my silly Luigi one afternoon!
As mentioned in a previous post, Alexa decided to be a snow
queen. Though it definitely tested my
sewing skills, I think we pulled it off!
The day before Halloween, I was pulling out the face paint and the kids decided they wanted me to paint their faces right then - Alexa wanted a snowflake and something 'swirly' so it was good practice for the next day.
Brody on the other hand, just looked at face painting photos and picked this tiger-like one!
On Halloween, Alexa's school had a costume parade which parents could attend. Thankfully, the weather cooperated so it was held outside. It was a cute event!
They played Halloween music through the loud
speakers, and once the parade was over, my youngest decided to ‘bust a
move!’ The child loves to dance!!
Alexa only had a half day on Halloween, so she was able to
go with us to watch Brody’s class Halloween parade at preschool that
afternoon.
The kids went
trick-or-treating through the apartment complex with several neighborhood
kids.
There aren’t a lot of
trick-or-treaters through our apartment, and those that were home loved seeing
the kids and loaded them down with candy. I'm sure we were quite a comical group that was HEARD before SEEN! The kids were SOOOO excited and if they knocked on a door and no one answered, the boys would throw one arm in the air and declare, "To the next house!" and then run to the next door...it definitely made for a memorable night! ;)
