Holy Batman, It's Halloween!

This was the first year that Austin was adamant about his costume for Halloween- Batman!  I wasn't very excited about it at first, but will be the first to admit that it turned out adorable!



Austin & Sydney- very excited about their preschool costume parade & Halloween party!

Snack on Halloween- "Mommy look- lips with marshmallows!!"

Our special Halloween dinner- mummy dogs, black/orange chips with queso, carrots, and oranges!

Ice cubes with gummy worms in our water, and nutter butter ghosts!

Yummy chocolate pudding with dirt (oreos) and worms!

He LOVED it... success.

Ready to go trick-or-treating


We ended up spending the evening over in our old subdivision so that Austin could trick-or-treat with his friends.  He had a wonderful time spending time with them, as we did with our friends!  Love our new home, but miss our old neighbors (and I'll admit it was VERY difficult to be there by the old house & see someone living in it.)

Everyone had on costumes...

They could barely stand still long enough for me to take this picture- in such a rush to get to the next door!

Sweet Ava dragging her bag around & holding Mr Shane's hand (she LOVES him!)

Emerson, Austin, and Addy  :)


I'd say they have some Halloween spirit.

Taking inventory- it was a successful night for this guy!

Pumpkin Decorating

Austin picked felt decorations for his pumpkin this year... Shane gladly agreed, after spending HOURS carving one last year!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we decided to make a last minute trip to the pumpkin patch~  along with everyone else in the metroplex.  :)  Even though it was extremely busy, we had a great time!  We went to the same pumpkin patch that we've always taken Austin to- Hall's Pumpkin Farm... but this year we went with Janell & her kids (Alex & Addison!)

We had a wonderful time at the petting zoo, picking out pumpkins, taking pictures, getting lost in the corn maze, and eating pumpkin cookies!  Afterwards we went to our favorite (La Hacienda Ranch)- a great day overall!!

While it's a great background, you face the sun.  Best we could get.

Sock Puppets

Austin got a sock puppet kit for his birthday, so we busted it out today (Fridays are typically LONG days with no school!)  Here are the results (Austin was so proud):
