Halloween 2013


The week or so before Halloween is always crazy. We have school parties, trick or treat, boo at the zoo, etc. etc. etc.  Here is a recap of the Halloween season.

This year since I was like 38 weeks pregnant there wasn't much I could really do.  I worked at our Homecoming football game for the Levy Committee the night before we were to go to Boo at the Zoo.  Bad idea.  I came home after the game and could barely move.  Thankfully Paul is a trooper and took the kids in the rain and on his birthday without me.  Also thanks to Ashley who went along on the trip to help out!






Our next stop on the Halloween train took us to Dussel Farm to get our pumpkins.  We always go every year and get the obligatory pictures.  Some of us cooperate. Some of us don't.








That week the girls friend Milyn came over to carve pumpkins with them.





The Thursday before Halloween was Rylee's party at school.  I was able to go with Doc McStuffins that day.  She still acts pretty shy if I'm in the room and did not want to play the game they had set up.  She did partake in the dessert portion of the party though. :)







That weekend was Trick or Treat.  Another event I wasn't really able to participate in since I was not going to walk around the neighborhood at 38 weeks pregnant.  Ashley and Corey came over to help out and along with their help, Paul took the kids to all the houses.  Thankfully this year it was not raining and freezing like it is most years.










Finally during my many trips to L&D, Morgan had her Fall Festival at school.  I was scheduled to go but due to my circumstances, Paul ended up going for a little bit in the morning with her.  Kindergartners don't get to dress up in their costumes but they can dress up as farmers.  Morgan was not happy about that at first but warmed up to the idea when she found out she could have braids in her hair.







All in all this year was very fun and very tiring (for mommy at least).

Boo at the Zoo/Happy Birthday Paul


Paul and I had one Friday free and the girls really wanted to do Boo at the Zoo.  Even though rain was likely, we took our little trick-or-treat-ers anyway.  They were so excited we could not disappoint them.  The rain for the most part held off except for some drizzle which was less than pleasant but could have been a lot worse.

Morgan was Tinkerbell, Rylee was Dora (which is the funniest thing ever, btw.)
 and Tenley was a cupcake.  










I have to say Paul was a very good sport considering it was his birthday.  We celebrated afterwards by all going to Longhorn to dry off and eat some steak.  Happy Birthday to our favorite guy!
