Dare I Say..The Best Halloween Ever?!

Yes, I think I will. This year was the best Halloween ever!! My girls were simply adorable and had a blast running around in their costumes ALL day Saturday.

We decided to dress them up early in the day and head to the Rivermarket. It was beautiful outside. NO rain whatsoever and lots of sunshine to make for an awesome day! The girls ran around playing, screaming, climbing, laughing, and just being kids! Ahh..so.much.fun!

C and Miss Priss looking just perfect. This pic makes me all teary. Love it so much!
Climbing higher, higher and higher up the wall tunnel! MP was so excited on all of these unconventional park toys.

Care Bear watching sister climb.

Another long tunnel to run through and both of them did it, over and over and..

over! It was pretty cool, I must admit. I ran through it a few times with them.

Wheeeee.. daddy loves to play with his girlies

and they love it too.

A smaller tunnel that was very difficult for daddy to maneuver. LOL! So hilarious to watch.

My new favorite picture of me and MP!! She actually sort of looks like me here.

Me n my Care Bear on the big bridge.

Trick or treating at dark.

Around our neighborhood

CB with my mom. She lives way far out and would take us forever to get to her house, she just rides along with us every Halloween.

Another family picture, Halloween night.

My grandma that i'm always talking about =) She'd prob beat me if she knew I posted this picture because she didn't have her teeth in. Hehe! The girls love her so much though, I had to get a pic.
Side not: Look at CareBear's little "treat"

Their candy loot. That's a LOT of candy for two little girls.

Some setting I found on my camera when I was messing with it. I hate that it's blurry, but still was pretty neat.

and lasty Miss Care Bear without her glasses playing with candy and snacks that fell in the floor.

Happy Halloween!

It seems weird for Halloween to be on a Saturday. For some reason, when I think about Halloween as a kid, I think of being in school all day, then getting home and rushing to put my costume on, then going out at dark. It feels funny today just sitting around. I sort of want to dress the girls up again and run around town. lol!

What are you supposed to do all day the day of Halloween while anxiously anticipating that night? Like i said before, i'm really not a fan of Halloween, but i'm excited for all of our family and friends to see the girls in costume and to watch the girls get super excited about candy. Yes I used girls plural because Care Bear likes candy too {ooops..i swear it's so much different with the second child. No way would I ever let MP eat candy this young!}

You know, i'm even thinking of something I could throw together for myself to trick or treating tonight. It just doesn't seem right to go out without having a little something on. Mom or not. My dad asked me what I was going to be and i said "Um.. ring leader?" He said "How about.. stressed out mom? That fits you well." Ugh, thanks.

I guess you just never know what i'll do. We'll see. I'm charging my camera so I can take lots of pictures. Have a Happy Halloween everyone and be safe!

The Day Before Halloween

Halloween Eve?!

The weather here is ridiculous. It has been raining for longer than I can remember. Last night on the news they said that we've had the most rain since 1882!! Wow. Just think about that for a minute. That is 127 years! Wow.

So, the ground is sopping wet and not at all fit for a fun night of trick or treating. However, we are going to brave it for the girls {Miss Priss'} sake. She is already talking about "knocking on Mr Jim's door and getting candy." He's our neighbor. She remembers going around our little neighborhood last year. All of our neighbors love her. They're all older and she is their entertainment.

Today though, I have a few errands to run around town. I think i'm going to let the girls wear their costumes for fun. Maybe some of the places will have candy to pass out.

I mean, really, how many times to they get to wear their $20 costumes? Once. Um no, we're going to get our money's worth!

The Great Pumpkin Family

Sunday night was Pumpkin Carving night in our house. We do this every year (except last year because Care Bear was born 10 days before Halloween) Miss Priss was so very excited, but did not want to touch the "guts"

She tried to scoop them out with this spoon, but soon after gave up. C and I ended up doing all four of the pumpkins. lol. Care Bear woke up and we tried to get her to help with pulling stuff out, but she only wanted to eat it. silly girl.

Moma's pumpkin face! Isn't it just the most perfect little Jack O Lantern? =)


MP wanted to take a picture. She focused it pretty well. You know I love her when I post these kind of pictures of myself. {double chin and all..}
Finished punkin' family!! See Care bear's little glasses. Hehe. That took me a while to figure out, but I finally accomplished the look.

In other news, my computer crashed yesterday. I had the blue screen of death, which means {I think} my harddrive completely crashed! It wouldn't even let me open in Safe Mode. Today, I got a new laptop. Yes we are broke. However, my grandma used her CC to buy it and we are making her monthly payments. She is thebest right?! I know.

This laptop business is tricky! It's confusing the crapolla out of me. I think i've figured most things out on it. I am old school yall, i've had my destop since 2004 and it was perfect for me. So i'm new to all things laptop and it may take a minute to get it all soaked in.
