Halloween!!

October was a very eventful month for us, and I take WAY too many pictures! I get overwhelmed with all that I need to blog, and then I end up not blogging at all! Go figure! So I am going to start with the most recent and work back.....hopefully! We had an awesome Halloween. That morning I took the kids to a little fall carnival at the elementary school. That night we went to the ward Trunk or Treat and to a few houses in the neighborhood. The kids had fun at the Trunk or Treat, but they had more fun going door to door! We were in a hurry to get home, but they kept saying "One more house....Pleeease!" This is the first year that they have really even cared about trick or treating. It was so fun to see how much fun they were having. They dressed up as Jessie and Woody from Toy Story. We got so many nice comments and people were taking pictures of them. They looked so dang cute!! Chloee fell asleep before we got home. Connor had fun looking through his bag. He sorted the candy into colors and lined them up. (I think he gets that from his dad). He had fun helping Chloee organize hers the next day.

Halloween Carnival -

Connor won this bracelet in the musical chairs game.

I wish we could have this in our backyard!!

Chloee was a little nervous to get her face painted. When we got home she couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror.

The goodies they got from the carnival.

Trick or Treating -

Connor sorted his candy into colors and lined them up.

They both loved the puzzles they got from our sweet little neighbor lady. They have put them together about twenty times.

Preschool Halloween Party-

The kids had so much fun at Connor's Halloween party. They made Trick or Treat bags and went Trick or Treating around Mrs. Katy's neighborhood. They played games, and they made eyeballs out of doughnut holes. I think alot of the kids were nervous to eat them though! She taught them some cute halloween songs that they sang for us. There is a video clip at the end of this post. I love how Chloee thinks she is just as big them and she does everything that they do. I was suprised she didn't join in with their singing and class picture, like she usually does!

Halloween Treats-

We are so ready for Halloween. We have had our decorations out for a month now. We just made some yummy Halloween treats for our friends and neighbors........

Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch -

We went to this Corn Maze/Pumpkin Patch in Syracuse. It was so much fun! Chloee's favorite part was playing in the box of corn. When it was time to go she was putting corn in her pocket. Connor had fun in the maze and picking his pumpkin.

Back To School!

Today was Connor's first day back to Preschool. He has been so anxious all summer for school to start. Almost everyday he would ask me "Is summer almost over"? He loves his teacher Mrs. Katy. I am glad we still live here so that he can go to her again. This morning Chloee packed her backpack with a few toys, put it on her back, and said "I'm ready to go to school too mommy!" She really misses Connor, but I try to make it fun and special for her when it is just the two of us. I can't believe how much they have both changed in one year. Here are a couple of pictures from today, and some from last year at this time.......

The End!

Red Boots for Halloween!

I am so excited right now I could pee my pants. Silly... I know! We are so excited for Halloween at our house that we are counting down the days. (There are 75 in case you were wondering). Chloee is going to dress up as Jessie from Toy Story and Connor is going to be Woody. I have had my eye on these red boots for a couple of days now. I have been battling it out with another buyer on Ebay to win the bid on these beauties. Finally tonight, 30 seconds before time was up, I put in my final bid, and won. I got them for $13. Connor was sitting there with me for the last few minutes and I explained to him what was going on. As soon as I told him we won we both started jumping around and saying "Oh Yeah, we won , Oh Yeah, we won"! It didn't take long for Chloee to join in with us. Good Times!
