Before I get into our Halloween, it's important to note that our weekend started with two sick little ones and a sick Mom and a sick Dad. I got a cold earlier this week and managed to bring it home to Harper who had a runny nose and a chesty cough, and come Trick or Treat time, Jack was also sneezing and Tony was complaining of a sore throat- not what we were hoping for. Here's a shot of me and Harper on Thursday- she did not feel good.
However, our little ones managed to rally and had a great time Trick-orTreating around the neighborhood. They didn't fight us putting on their costumes, and they were intrigued when we picked up their pumpkins and walked out the front door.
The moment we got outside, Harper and Jack were off. They went to our neighbor's house first and across the street before venturing to the next street over. The kids insisted that they walk the whole time, and they were more interested in running down and the sidewalk than getting candy. The kids were cautious about keeping their candy in the pumpkins, though, and would randomly check their loot. Harper and Jack were late getting into bed, but they were quick to fall asleep. I am so thankful we got to take these little ones out.
I also took some pictures of the kids in their cute Halloween shirts. Jack was interested in showing off his ghost and Harper lived up to the slogan on her shirt "Scary Cute!"
Saturday morning Jack decided that he didn't want Halloween to be over quite yet, and insisted that he wear his costume just a bit longer- here he is eating a Kit-Kat (this was their favorite candy this year).
The kids still felt under the weather on Saturday, so we stuck close to home and played in our pajamas and rested, but Sunday everyone was feeling better so we ventured out to lunch and Costco. We decided to grab a burger and ordered the kids a cheeseburger to split and some fries. Harper started out eating her burger like a champ while Jack demanded fries and wouldn't touch his sandwich- he wanted to watch the Cowboy game and eat french fries. By the end of lunch, however, Jack had become interested in his burger and, without taking his eyes of the football game, managed to eat almost his whole sandwich (he left one bite). Tony and I were impressed with his eating and enjoyed our lunch and outing with the kids.
One more thing before I sign off for the night: Harper has been into bows lately, though she will only wear them for a few minutes, so here are some pics of her in her bow- one of her practicing for Halloween. Also, Harper really liked the green beans I made for dinner earlier this week, so much so that she was eating the green beans cold out of the dish while I was putting the leftovers in the fridge. I wanted photographic documentation- silly girl!
So, that's it for this weekend- we've put up our pumpkins and costumes and are ready for turkeys and extra thankful and full hearts.
