Happy Halloween

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween. I think Noah really enjoyed his trick or treating experience!!! We dressed him up as a scarecrow, but he didn’t really like the suspenders, so he was trying to pull them off – he did get one strap off about 1/2 way through.

We started the night by going to our neighbors and had a Papa Murphy’s pizza that looked like a jack o’latern. Then we got the kids dressed and headed out to start trick or treating. I went along down the block but then came back to hand out candy. Rick said that Noah did really good and was getting really good at grabbing for the candy!! He did bring home some really good treats, but he doesn’t need all that sugar, so I guess I will help him out!!!!

It was such a nice night for trick or treating. There were a lot of neighbors that had a fire pit going in the driveway and sitting outside to hand out candy. After the kids were in bed, we sat outside around the fire pit and started eating the candy!!!

Here is a picture of the neighbor kids before we got going – Cecelia, Josh and Noah.

Quick family picture…

Our first house was across the street – Noah grabbed two pieces of candy and then wanted to chase the dog.

Pumpkin Carving

Last night our good neighbors came over and we had a pumpkin carving night!! We first had dinner, which consisted of Pizza Mummies, Hotdog Mummies, Witch’s Fingers, Eyeballs, and for dessert there was Halloween cupcakes and Skeleton cookies.

We also had Rotten Apple Cider to drink. There are some gummy worms in there too, but they ended up sinking to the bottom.

After we were done eating, we cleared off the table and started carving. Okay, so the guys did the carving and the girls picked out the seeds so we could bake them later and we also ran after the kids. (I think our job was harder!) The boys did break out the power tools to help carve the pumpkins, so they were excited!!!

We had a fun night and now we are ready for Halloween!!!! I do have to get Noah’s costume ready yet, hopefully it will all work out like I plan! Then we’ll see how much candy he can get tomorrow night!!! Happy trick-or-treating!!!

Halloween Humor

Black Eyed Peas

Last night, Rick and I went out on a date to celebrate Rick’s birthday while his parents watched Noah. We first went out to eat at Zio’s Italian Restaurant. I had the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna and boy was that good!!!! I only ate half of it so I could finish it off today!!! After eating we stopped at a few stores to do some window shopping and then we were going to head home and go to our neighbors Halloween party. We didn’t have a costume yet so as we were talking on the way home, we thought we could be the Black Eyed Peas. So we stopped off at Target and picked up some black shirts, green duct tape and some black face paint. Pretty easy costume!!!! We got home and made a “P” out of the green duct tape and put on some black paint and we headed over to the neighbors house. A little later in the night, they even had the band play a few songs for everyone!

Birthday Party

We had Noah’s 1st Birthday Party last night at our house. Everyone started coming around 5 o’clock and we grilled some hotdogs. After eating we had to do cake and ice cream!!! The kids loved the monkey cake, they were lined up to get a piece. After cake we opened presents…okay, so I opened presents while Noah sat on my lap. He did pull at the paper a little bit, but I had to do most of the work! After the presents were open, we headed outside so the adults could play washers and the kids could play with some of Noah’s new toys.
