Halloween 2012

Well, I started this post yesterday morning and then the stomach bug hit our house! Liam and I are still feeling a little blah but are doing much better today. Poor Will has it the worst today, but still went into work. He's a trooper. Our plans have changed for the weekend and will now include much more down time than originally planned. 

Now back to the fun stuff! 

I have to say it's so true, holidays are SO much more fun with kids! We started off the day at my friend Brettni's house for a fun MOPS playdate. She outdid herself once again with all kinds of Halloween snacks, decor, and crafts for the kids! 

The little boys hung out here the whole time. I am looking forward to Christmas morning when Liam gets his own train table! 

We tried to get a group picture, but this was the best picture I could get and three kids are missing, haha. Oh well! 

Me and my little pirate! 

Liam decorated his pumpkin all by himself. I call it abstract :)

My mom came over in the afternoon and brought us some Halloween treats. She brought Liam some of his favorite snacks, a Halloween card, and some Halloween cartoons. She also brought Will and I some candy, popcorn, and a scary movie. I hate scary movies but if it's older (aka made in the 80's) I can usually handle it because the blood is minimal and the special effects are laughable. :)

That evening Liam and I went to our church's Trunk or Treat. I worked our Sunday School's booth for a bit and then we met up with my friend Amanda and her daughter Mallory to walk around and enjoy the other games. 

Mallory was the CUTEST Minnie Mouse I have ever seen! We had a little photo shoot of the two of them, and I couldn't pick favorites so you get to see a lot!

Look at them last year. Oh.my.gosh. I can't believe how much they've changed! 

We walked around and played some games and got some candy. We also ran into a bunch of our friends and their little ones, but I was too busy chasing him around to get anymore pictures! 

Liam had a blast in the bouncy house!

We got home and started to hand out candy on the front porch just as Will got home from work! We went next door and let Liam trick or treat, but then we got back to handing out candy because it was getting late. 

I think handing out candy was Liam's favorite part of the day! He would put a piece of candy in each hand and stand on the front walk with his arms in the air trying to flag down the trick or treaters. When they would come up he would put the candy in their bag and say "Buh-Buh!" Then after they left he would turn around and throw up his hands like, "Hey, why are they leaving?!" And then it would start all over again for the next group. We were cracking up at him! And of course he got lots of compliments from the older kiddos and the parents on his adorable costume, ahem. :) 

I hope y'all had as much fun as we did! The holiday season has officially begun!
