Halloween:: Laid back edition

We had a pretty uneventful Halloween this year in terms of parties. 

Halloween used to be one of my favorite holidays, but it turns out I married somebody who just isn't into it.

Maybe once we have a house and some space, I will start throwing parties again.

Our grocery store, the great and powerful Wegmans, thew a trick or treating bash. 

She was not into it, probably because we don't let her eat candy and she had no idea what it was.

Maybe next year we will work on getting her to love candy? haha I don't know.

On the actual day of Halloween, it was a rainy day. I hadn't planned on taking her trick or treating, but once the day came I kind of felt guilty. So I was glad once the rain came and gave me an extra excuse.

We had some of Anthony's classmates over, had pizza, caramel apples, and watched Hocus Pocus.

We had a lot of trick or treaters, which I LOVE. 

we had ZERO last year, so I was pretty giddy.\

We didn't get any really good pictures of Amelia in her lady bug costume. 

I have been horrible at taking pictures with my good camera, so my crappy iPhone will have to do.

(And anthony's photographing skills... haha)

She is super into kisses, and I eat it up all day.

Oh you want water. gimme a kiss.

Oh you want down. gimme a kiss.

A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do.

They can be really a bit sloppy.

Punkin' Patchin

We went to Iron Kettle Farms to get a nice pumpkin. Since we don't have a porch, we don't carve our pumpkins because that would just stink, but paint them! 

It was really a cute farm, and I wish that I would have planned to spend more time there. I didn't really know what it was, or what it had to offer. There were hay rides, slides, petting zoo, farm animals, and a huge selection of pumpkins.

Amelia loved all the balls (pumpkins...)

We are going to miss the East Coast Fall so much. I love driving down the streets feeling like I am in a holiday calendar. 

Halloween 2012

I quickly found out Halloween is NOT a day

where I get to dress cute and be someone/something

new for a day.

It is all about how freaking cute your baby is!

Cutest Sugar plum fairy around!

Isla and Millie.

The lady bug and the fairy.

We threw our costumes together about 10 minutes before our ward party.

This is what we came up with.

Luckily, I had some GIANT underwear for Anthony.
