Halloween

Sunday evening at church we had our Fall Festival for the kids where they come in their costumes. Originally, Riley & Averly were going to be Bam-bam & Pebbles. I bought the fabric to make their costumes last weekend while at my parents’ house, but then ended up leaving it all there. So our next options were Spiderman & Raggedy Ann. Riley’s Spiderman outfit is actually pajamas, but paired with his mask, they worked just fine. Averly’s Raggedy Ann dress is a doll dress from a doll I had when I was little. I made her hair with yarn hot glued to a shower cap. It was all very last minute but we all made it there in one piece!

My handsome Spiderman!



And my Raggedy Ann cutie!



Riley & his best friend/cousin, Luke. They go to school together & every time I check in on him with the camera at school they are always right beside each other.



Getting dark so it’s time for the hayride!



Poor Averly’s hat kept falling in her eyes but this bad Mama forgot her hat so she had to keep it on to cover her ears.



BFFs.



Then on Halloween night our town had its Trunk ‘R Treat. This our first time to go since we just moved here. It was fun, but I still like plain old Trick ‘R Treating better I think.

Dada was at work so Aunt Brooke went with us.



Ready to get some candy!!



We also entered the costume contest & Averly got 2nd place!!! I felt like a pageant mom up there on the stage! Ha!



I bet we would’ve taken 1st AND 2nd place if they were in their Pebbles & Bam-bam costumes! ;0)



I’ve got to be sure & get a paper next week since Averly will be in it!



Afterwards we went Trick ‘R Treating at Mrs. Rhonda’s house (Luke’s grandma). And waited on Luke to get there so they could play for a while. Time got away from us & it ended up being 10:30 before we got home! We had a such a fun Halloween!!

Halloween Festivities Part 1

This fall has been so much fun! Both kids are at the perfect age where they start really enjoying the traditions. Another reason why I can’t wait until Christmas this year! Averly was very interested in watching Dada carve the pumpkins.



Our Jack O’lanterns this year. Riley requested Optimus Prime. Can you guess which one he is? Ha!



We went to my parents’ house last weekend to visit. We had a photoshoot in the woods at their house. It is just so pretty there, especially in the fall.



I think this may be one of my all time favorites of Riley! I love his long hair. TAG keeps threatening to cut it, but I think it looks so cute on him that I just can’t.

 

We were watching TAG split some wood for my dad. I’m so excited that it is time to use the fireplace! One thing I love about my parents’ house in the winter is sitting by the fire in my pajamas.



It was also my sister’s birthday last weekend so we had a big family supper. Happy Birthday Jamie!



I love how Averly is admiring her Auntie here.



Ravi & Mamie. The names they gave each other.



My boys playing football.



Little Miss Drool Monster.



We ended that weekend with a Nutter Butter at Bubba & Vivi’s house. Aren’t my babies sweet?! ;0)

    

I hope everyone had a happy & safe Halloween! More of our Halloween fun to come soon!
