What Halloween Looks Like Around Here

As the kids get a little older they are getting more and more interested and excited about holidays.

Halloween is NO exception!

We decided to make our laundry room door into our artwork display door. We will rotate depending on the season or holiday. I am really loving this because it keeps everything contained to one place but also displayed in a spot that everyone can enjoy but it’s not in your face all the time. The kids also love it and are so proud when we hang their projects and artwork up on the door.

Dax thought it would be funny to become a pumpkin head. That is until the pumpkin got stuck on his head!

Griff’s preschool class had a Halloween program that they put on for the parents. They all dressed up in their costumes, sang the Halloween songs that they learned for us, and even did a Halloween dance. It was a lot of fun and Dax and Navi even go to dress up and trick or treat at the end.

This is what I got when I asked for a super hero pose.

 

We did a little photo shoot for my little pumpkin at 20 months. She is a true girl and loved every minute of it. She even says cheese as soon as she sees the camera.

And what would Halloween time be without some fun Halloween treats?! My sister made these bones for her kids and they loved them so I thought I would do the same. They are super easy to make and a lot of fun to eat!

We are off to a kids fright train tonight, carving pumpkins and making caramel apples tomorrow and finally trick or treating on Monday. It’s going to be a fun and busy weekend.

Happy Halloween!

Fieldtrip

Dax, Navi and I got to tag along with Griff on his fieldtrip to the fire station and library. They had a great time and thought it was so cool to get to actually go inside the fire truck. It’s so fun to see how much Griff is soaking in this year compared to last year. He LOVES preschool! In fact the other day we were in a hurry and I was trying to prod him to get ready. I said something like: You have GOT to hurry and get dressed .. and he replied “I don’t even care if I have to get dressed because I LIKE preschool.” He sure told me!

The firemen coaxed Miss Stacey into being their model. The kids thought that was pretty funny!

 

The second half of the fieldtrip was at the library. This part was a little more of a challenge … lunch time, nap time, you get the picture! But they enjoyed listening to story time and getting to choose a few books to check out. Dax fit right in with the class. He sat with them and even asked the librarian a few questions. I think he will love preschool next year!

Pumpkin Pickin’

This year we decided not to plant a garden … so we headed to a little pumpkin patch in our neighborhood and let the kids pick a few pumpkins. They had a great time tromping through the patch and found some awesome pumpkins!

  

The family that does the pumpkin patch also raises turkeys. The kids thought they were so funny and loved looking at them.

 

Navi is super into posing and smiling for the camera these days so I have to take advantage while I can!

Family Pictures

A few weeks ago we had family pictures taken with Kasey’s family. We had them done at his Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Claude’s barn which is just up the street from our house. Brittany did a fabulous job as usual. She captured everything that we wanted and I am so happy with how they turned out!

Be prepared for a picture overload!
