Halloween Re-Cap ...

Halloween was awesome this year, if I do say so myself!! :) It was such a blast being able to take Ethan & Haylee out. We were able to find Haylee something for Trick-or-treating this year - she was a butterfly, and was so adorable! I'm sad to say that we didn't have a camera to take pictures - but I did video tape them so at least we have some memory of them looking adorablee. :) Ethan made an awesome Bob the builder, and was told many times that he was the only Bob the builder they had seen all night. Ethan and Haylee did amazingly. They wanted to walk the entire time (we had brought the wagon to pull them in) and I was so happy that our "practising" had pulled off, because they both said trick or treat nice and loud so everyone could hear, and were very polite saying "happy halloween" to everyone they passed, saying thank you and buh-bye to all those they got candy from. :) I was amazed especially with Haylee, this being her first year (that she could remember) and she said "trick r wheat", and thank you, and happy halloween to EVERYONE who gave her candy. She was adorable to watch and wanted to keep going to more and more houses. Ethan did great as well this year. Last year he didn't say trick or trick for the most part, and if he did, it was really quiet, so he was definitely less shy this year. :) Clint and I really enjoyed taking them out this year and seeing them interact and being so polite, and it was also fun to be in such a great neighborhood full of families!

We had fun each day beforehand doing a little halloween thing in preparation to Halloween that kept the kids happy each day. :) So it was a 5 star halloween for us!

Now that we're coming into November, i'm excited for Ethan's 4th birthday (on the 6th) and Thanksgiving, and Christmas :) I am probably going to decorate for Christmas on Monday because I can't get enough of it!!! Some of you may think I'm nuts, and some might think that's cool - but I definitely have to say that I LOVE everything, and anything, about Christmas, so I'm very excited :)

I hope you all had a fabulous time, and can't wait to hear how it went for everyone! Happy weekend :)
