Three Days of Halloween Fun!

We had quite the busy Halloween weekend...
Friday:
The kids had a Halloween party at Jenny's complete with games, costumes, and a lunch of "Mummy Meatloaf!" After work I picked them up and we headed straight to Annandale to my mom and dad's house. Addison got to stay home with Grandma Rita while I took Landon trick-or-treating to the Annandale businesses with Auntie Ashley, Uncle Loren, and Jackson aka Obie Wan Kenobi! It took Landon awhile to get the hang of trick-or-treating and to figure out why people were giving him candy. He was quite amusing! Stubborn as ever though, not wanting to hold my hand or be carried.




Saturday:
We met up with the Grossman's for lunch at BJ's Deli and then hit the streets of Buffalo for their business trick-or-treating. There were tons of people and Landon didn't quite get the hang of having to wait in line.



Sunday:
We started our day with pumpkin carving. Landon didn't quite know what to think of sticking his hand in the pumpkins. He would rather just watch! Daddy carved a MN Twins pumpkin and Mommy carved a skeleton head. For dinner we got a Papa Johns jack-o-lantern pizza and it was YUMMY! After dinner we got the kids in costume and did a little trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. We had 135 plus kids come to our door this year and handed out lots of candy while greeting all of our guests with the scary skeleton head that Darren's dad lent us for the night. It was quite the hit!




(I love love love this picture of the kiddos! Landon is sporting the pumpkin hat that was knit by one of my student's moms from last year and Addison is wearing a handmade hair bow made by my friend Mandi who has a shop called Lil Curl Bow-tique on etsy.com.)








I hope everyone had a great Halloween! Can't wait for next year! Holidays are so much more fun with kids to share them with.
