Halloween Happenings

Our Halloween festivities started last Sunday with Trick or Treat at the park. We have attended this for the past 3 years with Brinley's BFF's and a good time is had by all. Clayton really enjoyed it this year and after a few booths, realized he would get candy if he walked up and said "pwwweeeeze". It was so cute! He also got the "thank you" part down really well.

Wednesday was the Halloween carnival at Brinley's school. She got to wear her costume and play all sorts of fun games. I sadly did not take any pictures, but believe me, she had a great time ;-)

Friday, we spent the evening eating king ranch chicken, watching "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" and carving pumpkins. Clayton did not like touching the innards so he used a scoop. Brinley on the other hand, went elbow deep and had a ball pulling the pumpkin brains out!

Jason also dressed up for work on Friday as Count Dracula

Sunday, Brinley had a costume birthday party to attend in the afternoon and then we headed over to the Mulsow's for the 2nd annual Halloween bash. The live on a cul-de-sac, so it is an ideal place to party and trick and treat! Every one brings food, lawn chairs and the kids run WILD!

I am glad October is over because it was soooo busy! But with November here, I will be planning a 2 year old bday party, getting ready for Disney in December and I have already started Christmas shopping! I am ready for January already :-)
