Halloween Recap

I finally went through our pictures and am ready to recap Halloween. I am going to apologize now on my lack of good pictures. I basically forgot we had a camera and then was carrying or pushing Pretty Girl most of the night.

Without further ado.......

Halloween 2013!!!!

Booger literally had been waiting ALL month for Halloween. We received a catalog in the mail with Halloween costumes in it. He went through that catalog at least 50 different times. He picked out his costume and would tell ANYONE who would listen. He was sooooooo excited! He decided he wanted to be Jake, from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. It's a kids show on Disney. At the beginning of October, my mom and I went to just look at costumes, with the kids, and get prices. OMG! Half the costumes and sizes were already GONE! I couldn't believe it!!!! I didn't know it at the time, but my mom decided right then she wanted to buy the costumes the kids picked out. She gave them to me about a week later. Boy were Booger and Pretty Girl super excited!
All month long Booger would talk about trick-or-treating, his costume and Halloween any time a commercial came on about the holiday. It was pretty funny and cute to watch. :)
The day of Halloween arrived. Both kids were really excited. I dressed them in their Halloween shirts and off to Preschool they went.

M and I picked them up from preschool after work and headed over to our friends house. These friends have a son who is literally a month younger than Booger. We actually had due dates a day a part, but Booger decided to come early. Anyways.
Dinner was served, the kids ate and then got dressed. They were too cute!!!

Booger as Jake

Pretty Girl as Cinderella

Eating her Pizza

The boys (I took literally like 20 pictures and could never get both looking at the camera at the same time)

We walked outside and Oh.my.goodness!!! There were a TON of people around! I have never seen so many people trick-or-treating in one area before.

These photos don't do the crowd justice

Trick-o-treating

into the zone

M's best friend and the boys

Pretty girl was done walking by the third house, but wanted to be pushed up to each house to say "trick-o-treat" and get her candy. It was really cute. Booger was done after about 10 houses. He started off running everywhere and tired quickly.

We allowed them to dig into their candy that night. We of course also helped ourselves to a few pieces. All in all it was a good Halloween for us. I think if we can, we will trick-or-treat in the same neighborhood again.

Did you all do anything fun for Halloween???

Happy Birthday to ME!

Wow! I cannot believe it, but I am another year older. :( Not sure how I feel about this age, last year didn't seem to bad, but this year is getting me a little more. When I got on the Internet today, Google gave me a nice surprise.

Cute huh???? I've never seen Google wish someone a happy birthday before. I felt pretty special :)

I love birthdays. I don't just me love them, I LOVE them! It's the one day a year that is all about you. I know that might sound selfish, but oh well. It's the reason I make such a HUGE deal out of everyone's birthdays. It has always been a tradition to celebrate my birthday on the actual day with my favorite dinner and dessert. My mommy will be making my dinner tonight and I cannot wait. I love this tradition and want to continue it with my kids. I keep trying to do it with my husband's birthday, but the Army always throws a wrench into my plans. Ah well.

I noticed this year I haven't been making a big deal about my birthday. I have come to the point where I would rather make a big deal about someone else's birthday than about my own. I'm not a huge fan of the spotlight.

So, here is to another year. Growing older and wiser (and trying to keep the gray hairs away)

I will hopefully have a recap of tonight sometime this week. I still have to recap Halloween. Oh, where has the time gone???

Have a great day everyone!!!!!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day today. We are taking the kids out with our friends and their son. Our kids are the same age, so it will be a lot of fun. Plus we are going to their neighborhood, which has sidewalks and is way safer than ours. I won't take our kids trick or treating in our neighborhood. People drive too fast. :(

The kids wanted to say Happy Halloween to everyone! (please excuse the messy house)

I thought it would be fun to look back at some of the kids Halloween costumes from the past.

Boogers first Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!!!
