We have had a busy Halloween weekend. On Friday my mom and AP decorated her van like a Pirate ship for the "Trunk or Treat" at the school. The rest of us went downtown to our little Main Street and trick or treated at the shops until we met up with Bubby and AP at the Trunk or Treat. Abby got right into the spirit of things! She rode her little tricycle that was decorated with cardboard cutouts AP had painted for her of the characters from the nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle, Diddle." She was dressed again as "Noah" the cat and looked too cute for words. She held tight to her pumpkin which was getting heavier and heavier with candy as the night went on, but she didn't want me to take it from her! Margaret was Pippi again and she behaved well all night long despite being very excited. The weather was beautiful- I was in a t-shirt- and I didn't have to worry about her getting cold with just her Pippi Stockings on her legs. AP was a Jedi. He had fun with the light saber and fighting with the Darth Vaders at the Trunk or Treat. I had put dinner in the crock pot before we left, so it was nice and ready when we got home. Bubby stayed for dinner and bath time and it worked out great! Link to more pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/JHeelen/HeelenHalloweenNight08?authkey=0fOlwCDC8kA#
Bubby made the girls matching Halloween shirts. Abby kept pointing to the patch whenever you asked her "Where is your pumpin?"
Yesterday was another beautiful day and we went to Cox Family Farm. The kids enjoyed the slides, rope swings, pumpkin chucking, a hay ride, live music and pumpkin painting. Abby loved the slides and REALLY got into the pumpkin painting. She threw a fit when I tried to pull her away from it.
