Costume Carnival 2014!

Last year, Jack was just a wee little pumpkin on Halloween, but I hauled my one-week post-cesarean booty down to A's school for their annual costume carnival anyhow, and I was so glad I did. It was so adorable - and so was her Ariel costume. 

This year, Jack participated with his nursery school class, which made it twice as awesome - and I didn't feel like death warmed over, so that helped ;)

Here are some photos from this year's event!

Oh my goodness, how I love Halloween as a parent and having babies in school for holidays. Have you ever seen anything more adorable?!

Happy Halloween: Trick-or-Treat Edition!

Happy Halloween from my kissable kitty and my cutie pie cowboy! We had a blast last night trick-or-treating and Halloween partying it up with our good friends and former employers - it was certainly another Halloween for the books! I didn't really love the holiday as a child (I was easily scared), but as a parent? I DIG IT. Especially as a parent with two cute kids, the ability to ride on a golf cart when I'm tired, and a neighborhood that doesn't frown on a roadie :)

Happy Halloween!

My little cuties at their various Halloween events so far: 

We can't wait to trick-or-treat tonight!!!

Happy (Belated) Halloween From Ava and Jack!

First up, we had Ava's Costume Carnival and trick-or-treating at Ava's preschool - too super cute! She is LOVING school - after we picked her up, she said, "Now that's my kind of day!" What a character!

I was super impressed that they bought in a huge bouncy house and slide to the gym, as well as some games and some Halloween tattoos - I love preschool, too!

Once the school day wrapped up, Ava came home and we had a bit of down time before trick-or-treating, but then we walked back out the door to meet some friends and trick-or-treat in our regular fashion, a la the golf cart. Thank the Lord for that golf cart. My incision hurts like crazy today, but I can only imagine how much worse it would have been had I walked all that way, instead of just for a little bit. 

Here are the cutie pie trick-or-treaters:

And, though he didn't sport it because he was in the carrier, here's Jack in costume, better late than never :)
