Halloween 2017 - We're Off To See The Wizard

Our Halloween was full of all sorts of fun this year!  

We took our traditional trip to Cornbelly's.  It's one of our favorite traditions of the season.  We usually have tons of fun exploring, playing, watching shows, cheering for the pigs at the pig races, and much more!  This year, we headed out and the weather was AWESOME!  We didn't really even need jackets.  We played for about two hours and then a HUGE wind storm came in an instant.  We hurried as fast as we could to our car, getting dirt in our eyes.  Once we were in the car Evie asked if this was the same thing that happened to Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz."  Evie asked, "Is this what a twister is like?"  Pretty close.  Pretty close.  We were covered in dust from head-to-toe.  Luckily, Cornbelly's allowed us to go back the next day since they totally had to shut the place down.  We LOVE Cornbelly's and pumpkin patches this time of year.  

We also attended the yearly Halloween Party on Beau's side of the family.  The costumes are ALWAYS stellar at this party.  A lot of effort goes into them since there is a costume contest.  We had Despicable Me, Donald & Mrs Trump with the Secret Service, and Belle with her two suiters (the Beast & Gaston).  I'm proud to say our little Wizard of Oz family won this year.  Woot, woot!

As the actual day of Halloween approached, the girls mom carved pumpkins.  Evie had to have a spooky one and Adeline wanted a kitty.  I think we succeeded.

Halloween Day was filled with tons of fun.  Evie had a Halloween party in her Kindergarten class.  We had to "minimize" the face painting for school so I dolled up her face a little differently than we had done at our Halloween party.  Once school was out we hit up Beau's office for trick-or-treating, then we went to Auntie Amber's office for trick-or-treating, and then ended up at my mom and dad's house for neighborhood trick-or-treating and dinner (chili & cornbread).  We had such a fun Halloween this year!

In the end . . . remember . . . "There's no place like home!"  We sure loved our Halloween and we loved returning to our home and our beds.  We love our little family and the memories we build.
