All The Halloween Fun

Since we've had a busy October, we spent the weekend squeezing in all of the Halloween fun! 

DJ was in Ft. Worth for the game, so after gymnastics, the girls and I headed out on a pizza date. 

These girls played lots of games before our pizza arrived. 

Then we came home, put on pj's, and snuggled up to finally watch Hocus Pocus! 

Saturday morning, we got up and went to the noon showing of the Addams Family. Megan had been begging to see the movie.

I took them to Target to pick out candy, and laughed at their candy choices. 

We split popcorn too and enjoyed the movie! It was super cute. 

We spent the rest of Saturday watching the game. Sunday morning, I hosted brunch for my cousin who was in town with his friends, and then DJ surprised us by letting us know that he was off for the entire day, so we went to a pumpkin patch. 

Our first stop was to ride horses. 

Then the girls ran over to the tower mountain and went down the slide several times. 

Loved having this girl in my arms! 

DJ and I were chatting about how nice it is that the girls and kind of just "go off" and we can hang back and watch them. Versus the other parents who were right by their kids side watching them on the jump bubble or chasing them all around. The girls were close by, we could watch them, but we didn't actually have to worry about them falling or wandering too far. It was blissful. 

Addy found a tire swing! 

And a little ropes course. 

We did the hay maze and found the treasure in the middle! 

But, we needed some help getting back out, so Adalyn helped us find our way! Ha! 

More swinging around. 

Okay, so this was by far the coolest part of the pumpkin patch. Everyone received one small pumpkin and then you could buy more, and we sling shot them on to trees and targets. It was definitely a highlight smashing pumpkins everywhere! 

We finished off our day with a hay ride around the farm. Addy jumped on and went right up to the middle. 

These girls were my buddies, but man, that sun was bright! 

We eventually made Adalyn come sit with us, because there was mud slinging, and she wasn't holding on very well. 

After our hay ride, we picked out pumpkins. 

And how cute is this little pumpkin house! 

We were starving by the time we left the pumpkin patch so we headed to Shogun's for an early dinner. 

And then came home to carve pumpkins. Last year, I had to carve them with the girls, so I was relieved that DJ was able to help this year! 

And, for the first time ever, I didn't have to help scrape the guts out! 

Which just means they're growing up way too fast! 

Gretchen chose the most complicated design and was determined to do it herself, but she ended up needing some help. 

After our jack-o-lantern's were made, I sprayed them down with thieves cleaner to keep them fresh! 

Today, the girls have book character day and they're wearing their costumes to school! It's going to be a fun Halloween day!

Happy Halloween to your little ghosts and goblins!
