Halloween 2014

So, let's backtrack a bit here...  Halloween came and went so quickly.  I think all of the hype with the Royals was a distraction from the fact that it was October and almost Halloween.

We carved one of our pumpkins in support of the Royals.  Although they didn't win the World Series, it was great that they were actually in it this year!  If someone would have told me the Royals were going to be in the World Series back in June, I would have told them they were N-U-T-S, nuts!

Daddy went on his usual pheasant hunting trip, and this was the first year I felt like I could manage to take the kids somewhere by myself.  Grandma is always a big help when Daddy is gone, but we decided to try Gary's Berries on our own.  It was fun, and we had never been before.  The pig races were so much fun to watch, and Buddy even got to be a squeal leader for one race.  He had to chase and yell at his pig to try to get him to win!

Our daycare provider has holiday parties every year because she is AWESOME!  We went to the Halloween party, and she had lots of fun activities like pumpkin painting, a bounce house, and a barrel train ride.  At the end of the evening, we took a hayride.  I love the photo bombers in this picture.  Later this week, we will go to the daycare Christmas party!  We are lucky to have such a great daycare for the kids.

Since Halloween was on a Friday, we ventured to Uncle Matt and Aunt Coco's new house for trick or treating.  Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, and Peter Pan came home with tons of candy!  Uncle Matt dressed up as a scary clown and had fun tormenting teenagers all night!  We will forgive him for giving kids nightmares.  After all, it was his 40th birthday...
