How to have a perfect Halloween Week(end)

1. Head over to the Pumpkin Patch/Corn field Maze for a class fieldtrip!

2. Pick out a pumpkin!

3. Have fun in the cornfield!

4. Look so adorable and cute for mommy while being trapped!!

5. Head off to the Pumpkin Walk with the class. Oh, and only take the traditional pictures. ha ha. (it was an extremely cute one this year!! All about animation.)

6. Wait until after Charlotte's birthday party to head out to the Pumpkin Patch again (the next day) with good friends and crazy, freezing, rainy weather (uh, it snowed the following week...)

Where's Jack? Uh, he fell asleep in the car and Wade stayed in there with him. I don't think Wade minded at all. :)

7. Have Charlotte's Birthday.

8. Carve pumpkins the few days before Halloween!

This is Jack. He's good at carving! ;)

9. Charlotte carving too. She was so into it! She designed her own but Dad cut it out. So did Jack...sort of...he he. But Charlotte wanted to eat the seeds (i'm sure she learned that at school!) and wanted to make pumpkin pie out of all the pumpkins. Yeah, sorry Charlotte. Not too into that one. he he.

10. Align the pumpkins for a perfect picture!

Jack, Charlotte, Kate, Wade's then mine.

11. Get all dressed up for the school party on the 29th!

Obviously, Charlotte's a pirate and Jack's just a builder...but based off of Bob. He doesn't know Bob very well. ha ha. But he'll talk up a storm about his tools. Seriously. He's a hoot.

And here's Kate in her ghost costume. This is the same one Charlotte wore for her 1st (well, technically 2nd) Halloween! SO so so cute :)

12. Be silly!

13. Get redressed that night for the Ward Fall Festival! Fall Festival is a lot of fun. Full of carnival style games for the kids, cupcake walk, photo booth and a chili/soup cook off!

14. Light pumpkins for Halloween (which was celebrated on the 30th)

15. Eat a spooky dessert after trick-or-treating!

16. Let mom take another picture of all the loot! Yep, Kate's is there too...:)

17. Watch Wallace and Gromit- Curse of the Were-rabbit!

18. Halloween day, just relax at home but at least have a fun dinner!

Jack-o-Lantern and Mummy french bread pizzas with Bone Breadsticks! Yummers! Yikes!

We had a wonderful weekend full of fun! Lack of pictures of course, but it was great. We went trick or treating with Daxton and his family (they dressed up as Scooby Doo characters. SO CUTE!). Wade and Kate came along on our street then when we got back to our end of the street, he took her home and gave out candy for trick-or-treaters. We lasted 45 minutes til it decided to DOWNPOUR on all of us. ha ha. So we called it a night. Had dinner, watched a movie and sent the kids to bed.

It was so awesome to see Charlotte's face light up. Jack was into it too but it was awesome that Charlotte really got into it this year. She would yell TRICK OR TREAT even before the doors opened. And then shouted THANK YOU when we would leave. ha ha. And Jack even would say his cute way of Trick or Treat!! This makes me look forward to all the upcoming holidays more and more.
