Our Halloween Weekend.

Otherwise known as the longest post in the history of man.  :p
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.   Ours was extremely busy, but I think the boys had a lot of fun.

Saturday my husband did yard work while I closed myself off from the world and concentrated on homework.  Trying to keep current with my classes in this last trimester, and now trying to get ahead a tad so things will be easier after the baby has kept me insanely preoccupied.   My new motto is - It will all be worth it in the end.   Someone tell me I'm right!  LOL!

I walked outside Saturday afternoon to see my husband sacking up a million and one pine needles.  Let's just say that some of my ideas aren't always the greatest.  :p  We were officially the trashiest house on the block when we were done transforming our garbage bags full of needles into this:

I even encouraged Brodie to draw creepy ghost faces onto quarter filled bags which I then hung from the trees.

Oh yeah, I went there.   haha.

Honestly, I didn't feel too bad about our trashy look when I saw several trick-or-treaters posing with our trash bags the next evening.  Honestly though, you'll see why this is so funny to me if you could see the yards of our neighbors.  Don't worry... I took photos, they're coming up! 

Saturday evening we took the boys to pick out pumpkins.

Yes, it was the end of October and my boys are wearing shorts and summery shoes.  Gotta love Texas.

Daddy- "Rylan, come draw a scary face on your pumpkin for me."

hahahah... the smallest pumpkin face ever!

I must admit that I really do have the best husband who is the best daddy ever.  While I was busy doing more homework on Sunday afternoon, he carved pumpkins with the boys.  (I did sneak in and take a photo or two).

Sunday evening (Halloween) we took the boys to a local church for their Trunk or Treat.  I was able to get this photo of all four of us before leaving the house.

Now, can you believe these decorations?  We were afraid that moving to a neighborhood with not many kids would be a little dull on Halloween.  Man were we wrong.  These were all ON our street. 

I believe that if we want to hang with our neighbors next Halloween, we'd better started planning now.  haha.

I only hope they get this excited about Christmas!

I hope you and your families had a spookily-safe Halloween!
