Ok, so here's a little Halloween update before we get on to what we are doing now... well ok, so there's a lot of picture updating that i need to do! sorry! i have missed you internet!
Our first halloween festival was at a really cool farm... thing... it had an old farmhouse and people dressed in pioneer clothing making horse shoes and teaching us to churn butter.
My favorite part was the little Pikachu in the civil war village :-)
She decorated a styrofoam cup, aka plant pot, and planted some grass seeds.
She called it her "friend dirt" for a long time until just recently the grass started growing!
Now she's really excited and goes out everyday with her Dad to water it!
Jordan was a little mad at me for this picture, because i made him hold both kids up for the picture, then the camera wasn't on, then I wanted to take more than one picture...
well you get the picture.
And more importantly I got the picture too ;-)
Makayla picked out her own pumpkin this year!
She got really close for the bean bag toss too!
We also went to our church Halloween party!
Makayla got to practice her trick or treat approach
She even played some games, like jelly bean toss...
and the eyeball spoon race!
She also played 'ring around the rosie' with her church friends!
It was her favorite and now she tries to get Oscar involved at home... since he's just barely standing on his own, it doesn't go over very well, but he's a pretty good sport.
We also went to Atlantic Station, a really big outdoor mall in downtown Atlanta, and got to play at a Halloween party/trick or treat hosted by radio disney!
Makayla won some cool things in the games, but we lost the costume competition.
I'm still a little bitter about that.
But only because the winners were all store bought :-P
But Makayla and Oscar still had fun! And that's what is most important ;-)
And then of course, there was the all important TRICK OR TREATING!
This is the only picture I got because Jordan said it was creepy to take pictures of strangers doors! I kind of agreed though.
Even though we were far from family and friends, it was a great Halloween!
Well done on the costumes!!! Very, very cool. I love the picture of Makayla and Oscar, it looks like they are telling each other secrets. :) So cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou MADE that pikachu?! Wow. I would not have been able to tell!
ReplyDeleteYou need to stop commenting from your phone if so many comments are getting deleted. I am sorry! That must be really frustrating.
My birthday was on the 24th so my Golden Year will be two years from now. I am getting excited!
Thanks for the comment about me being "annoyingly cute while pregnant." I feel like I am still in the fat stage and it is driving me crazy. People still don't know I am pregnant! Even people I know! They just assume I am fat. Booooo...
