Happy Halloween!
Ok so it's officially November now and I'm just getting a free second to share our Halloween festivities. I'm still learning how to balance two kids and while still capturing these fun memories.
We started the week off with decorating some small pumpkins with stickers and sporting our favorite Halloween pjs!
We love the annual skeleton (glow in the dark) pjs from the gap or old navy. Connor is actually wearing hand-me-downs from Shannon's first Halloween.
Then Shannon had a blast painting her and Connor's pumpkins. They turned out so beautiful and are still sitting in the kitchen on display.
It wouldn't be Halloween without Lee's yummy roasted pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin we carved the night before. We chose a huge pumpkin, thinking we would get tons of seeds. When in reality, there were a disappointing amount of huge seeds. Oh well, they still taste yummy!
We also made ghost chocolate pretzels. Shannon had a blast... Eating all of the mini chocolate chips I gave her. She eventually got the hang of it and put some on the pretzels. Super cute and super tasty!
Halloween morning came and we played in our festive pjs and watched Mickey Mouse clubhouse. It was a pretty laid back day, for the most part. Shannon decided she was too excited to nap and was instead running around like a mad man in her room. She has recently figured out how open her closet doors. So she takes all her blankets, books and shoes out and plays with them, or lines everything up. Then she moves on to the dresser drawers and pulls out every. single. piece. Of clothing in there and puts it on the floor. Oh my word. It looks like my sister Amanda's room!
Anyway, I was frwaking out because she didn't nap and it was obviously going to be a later night. We got ready (braid in hair and all) and headed over to a friends house where we then passed out candy and then went trick or treating. Shannon loved it! She even went up to the not so inviting homes and stood there like a trooper. Lee was with her every time but she said trick or treat and everything.
We ll had a blast and can't wait for the next holiday to come. Both kids passed out (Shannon's candy bucket in hand) in the car on the way home.
