We started our adventure on Saturday at Boo at the Zoo with my mom. Addie decided she wanted to wear her dog costume from last year. This time she actually agreed to wear the ears, but of course we couldn't find them.Here's one of the zoo helpers chatting with Addie. Doesn't Addie look enthused?
Bubby went as a golfer.
In my nest with my chicks. I think Bubby is confusing his club with a guitar.
Notice the frog in her hand? We had to spend about 20min in the giftshop looking for just the right frog.
She didn't like the last bite of her hotdog. She insisted on helping with her make-up, which is why it's all over the place.
If you saw my previous outlaw post about the corn maze you know that we never actually made it to the maze itself. And I had already bought 2 tickets. My dad was supposed to take them but that fizzled, so I was stuck with 2 tickets on the last day. With no takers and a sick hubby (Loren didn't feel good that day) I decided it was time for a girl's outing. So Addie and I ventured to the corn maze, just the two of us. We finished Phase 1 in 10 minutes (with a map -- I wasn't risking getting lost with a toddler in tow) and Phase 2 in 20 minutes.I was attempting a pic on top of the bridge.
Mid-Phase 2.
All done! She actually did like the maze and wanted to go again (I was too tired!), although you can't quite tell here.
We ran into Kiev, Alex, Liam (Addie's future husband), and Madi at the cow train.
We also hit the corn box...
...jumping pillow (no pics because she insisted I jump with her -- that was hard to stay upright!)......color maze...
...goats...
...pony rides...
...the big chair...
... and the slide/play structure.
She looks so reflective here. She would just sit there and stare out, it was so cute.
I was more than exhausted by the end of the day, so I was not a happy camper when she decided to wake up at 11pm and not fall asleep until after 3am. I was dragging a bit Sunday...She decided to wear her pumpkin costume to the grocery store.
And then it was off to Tony and Katrina's for the evening. We brought pizza and made sure the kids at least ate a little before we went out for treats.
Somebody was pretty excited about candy.
This isn't Hayden's costume -- he was modeling Christian's Optimus Prime mask.
Christian ready to go.
The gang. Ironman, fairy princess, and Optimus Prime.
First house!
She walked for the first set of houses. They were all really into it at the beginning.
Bubby came too, but no candy action for him. Just mommy snuggies. :)
It was so fun watching them run up to the doors. Pierce and Christian were really good about saying "trick or treat!" and "thank you" -- Addie just took the candy and ran.
Once she started getting tired she needed daddy.
Katrina and I were cracking up at Christian's tight pants. :)
The boys rode in our stroller -- at least someone uses it! (my kids aren't big fans -- well Hayden doesn't mind, but I don't usually pull it out if Addie won't ride in it)
After hitting a bit of the neighborhood we went to a trunk-or-treat at a local church. I thought this dog was so cute to greet us.
The kids played games for treats.
And we enjoyed some hot chocolate, hotdogs, and popcorn, and attempted the bouncy house, but the kids were getting rather cold and tired so we headed back. Then the candy eating began...
And the sugar high...
We actually made it home around 8:30pm -- plenty of time for me to finish my homework. :)Here I must share my regular adorable sleeping pic of Hayden. Precious!
I just love this little guy.
And finally, Addie had to dig back into her pumpkin paints tonight. It didn't take long to divert from the paper...
I asked her to smile and this is what I got.
Then her sad face.
Her mean face.
And her happy face. :)
I'm a bit sad to check one of my few Halloweens with the kids off (I'm thinking I maybe have 10 left with Addie), but we had a good time and I'm glad I wore myself out trying to do a little bit of everything. Happy October all -- here is to November! (I still can't believe it's November already!!)
