Happy Halloween!!!!! I'm pretty sure that with Halloween being on a Monday, that everyone's day is going to be out of sorts! Here's to all of the teachers that we are sending our kids off to! Seriously, I imagine that work today is going to be cray-cray. My kids were jumping off the walls last night because Halloween was less than 24 hours away, and they all get to wear costumes to school today!
Thursday night, we carved pumpkins! It's our one night a week that DJ is home early. As soon as the girls and I made it home, I started dinner and then helped the girls dig out the pumpkin guts! I wasn't sure how much Adalyn would enjoy it, but all of the girls had the best time! There were seeds everywhere! After a quick bath, we let them watch DJ carve.
All of the girls draw their own jack-o-lantern face. We have been doing this for years!
I remember as a child, that there were patterns to tape on to your pumpkin and then carve out something fancy. Do those still exist? We do not have fancy jack-o-lanterns at our house!
Addy told DJ what shapes to draw, she just wanted a big letter "A", but he talked her in to a face instead!
Oh, this girl. She is nothing short of a mess.
One jack-o-lantern down!!!!
And, I shared my trick over on Instagram yesterday (follow me @ewelte_hpa), but just use a citrus oil or lemon essential oil to remove any drawings off your pumpkin!
Once the jack-o-lanterns were made, we set them out on our front porch. The girls loved them!
Friday was Megan's first field trip!!! She was so excited to be going to the pumpkin patch with her class! I was sad that I had way too much work to catch up on and I couldn't take the day and go with her. Thankfully, she has the best teacher who sent me some pictures!
This one cracks me up:
Megan had the best time!
While Megan was pumpkin patching, Addy had pajama day at school!
And, she's learned how to pedal a trike! Yay!
Friday night rolled around, and Megan was just a mess. She was so tired from being at her field trip, that she threw lots of tantrums on the way home from school, and then fell asleep. We picked up pizza, and settled in to watch a Halloween movie. I wanted to watch Hocus Pocus with the girls... y'all I have NEVER seen that movie! But, it wasn't on t.v. and it wasn't on Netflix. So, we settled on the Adams Family! Gretchen enjoyed it, but definitely not the smartest parenting choice I've made. I think I forgot that the kids play with knives, and try to decapitate each other. I just reminded the girls that we never ever play with knives!
Saturday was gorgeous! Gretchen played some minecraft while I cleaned house, and then I sent the girls outside to play and for lunch. And then we spent the evening watching Tulsa beat Memphis!!! We've won 6 games this year, so we are bowl eligible and still have 4 more games to finish out the season! The girls are super excited that we'll go to a bowl game this year!
Sunday was a little nuts. DJ didn't make it home until 4:30 am, and I had to be at church for a meeting. So, I got the girls dressed, he woke up right as we were leaving, and we made it to church right on time. After church, we raced home for a snack, changed in to costumes, and headed to a birthday party! We were back home for an hour until we had to head to the football offices for dinner! We raced home for baths, and to finish cleaning up the upstairs, before we all crashed early!
October has just flown by! I knew that it would be super busy, and it was!
Have fun trick-or-treating tonight!! I can't wait to see everyone's pictures!!!
