MORE OCTOBER FUN!!!

I want to follow up on the Villain cupcakes from the last post.
She did such a great job and we took them over to our new neighbors who have 3 little girls :)
Lincoln loved putting a ton of sprinkles on.
We had to have one of our own
We made sugar cookies, but mommy decorated them  for a party. I saved some for the kids for sure, but I was pretty impressed with myself, considering this was my first time "really" decorating.

CARVING PUMPKINS
We decided to carve pumpkins, even though its still a bit tough for the kids. We went to a house in the neighborhood that had a sign up "pumpkins for sale" they were all over the front lawn and there was an 'honest box' and you just pay what you think...it was fun to see the kids pick out which one they wanted.
Lincoln picked a green one...
He liked stabbing it with the carving tools over and over, that thats what his looked like
Vienna picked a pinky-peach one and she was very good at cleaning it out, but then carving was too much so she chose to hammer in these light bright things shaped like golf tee things. 
I was keeping Everett entertained so I didnt get a chance to actually carve mine, so Mike is the only one who actually carved on. He did a great job. It was a black cat.
Just had to snap a shot of these cute kiddos. (Linc is still glued to his snuggles, its so endearing. I can barely get it away from him to wash it weekly.)

We love having craft time and we love having halloween craft time!



We have tried a few spooky dinners. The kids had more fun making this one than eating it.
Very focused
looks like pick up sticks...
Before they are cooked.
After they are cooked!

We did a special halloween dinner as part of our family night.
We got the house all dark, got out our halloween chandaliers and had a spooky dinner before we carved our pumpkins.
We had pumpkin plates and napkins
Mummy meatloaf, it was fun to eat and easy to make!
Vienna loved the meatloaf, Lincoln loved the beans!

For dessert we were treated, by Daddy, with Bertie Bots Beans and the same idea, Bean boozled, where one is the real yummy taste and the exact same looking one is n-a-s-t-y. It was so fun to watch the kids and its pretty amazing how gross they can make them taste.

We tried to have our own party, but not enough people RSVP'd soon enough (why are people so bad at it?)
One of our friends offered to host it and so the things I had already prepared I used and we co-hosted. It was lots of fun.
Vienna really enjoyed it.
Our waterbottles...
My super sexy super man..homemade costume.

The justice league unites!

The next few pics are a bit random
Our ward had a hoedown on the 17th and it was fun, but they didnt have a halloween party or trunk or treat so that is super lame. Id much rather have that then a hoedown. Vienna and I showed up late, she had fun.
I sure l-ooooo-ve my boys!!!

The last few pics are my favorite. There is something to be said about going over to Grandma and Grandpa's for Sunday dinner. Growing up, it was ABSOLUTELY my favorite part of the week. I was very blessed to have 2 of the best Grandma's on the planet. One's that would take me on the weekends quite often. We would do crafts, allowed me to do chores to earn money, baking, playing, go to the circus', ice capades, take me on the trains and just share their Grandma goodness with me. I miss my Nan so much but at least I am blessed enough to still have my other Grandma who I still call for canning peaches, making pie crust and lime cheesecake advice.
Anyway, that was a complete side track here are some pics of going to Grandma and Grandpa's house for Sunday dinner. It was so cozy and the food was delicious. The kids are always in heaven and it was just nice to visit. Thank you so much for having us over!
Kids playing with all of their fun and different toys!
Grandma gave them a little halloween present together and boy does this little lady love her witch barbie doll.
Lincoln loves his Grandpa. He got a bunch of trucks, cars and treats.
sitting on Daddy who was soaking in every second of relaxation we could.
Everett playing with Grandpa, I got the cutest video of this.

Only 4 more days until Trick or treating, lets hope for better weather than last year in Cleveland where it poured and it was windy and down right cold. It has to be better than that.
