Halloween weekend in review

Halloween weekend was crazy busy, but I don't think I would have had it any other way. First it was to my office for trick or treating with the kids, then Saturday we went to a Halloween costume contest at a local store and Ethan won 2nd place (damn peacock) but was given 25$ gift card for the store!!= Happy Mommy. Then later that day we met up with Mama J, Papa J, Grandma, Kaley, Katelyn, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Herb, Emma and Lillian...breathe! at downtown Disney for some trick or treating, story telling and a DJ dance party.



Then on Sunday we had the WHOLE family plus our good friends Doug and Devon over with there 8 month old twins Jacob and Jackson for some Halloween BBQ and fun. The kids decorated a haunted ginger bread house, decorated cup cakes and even had a fun soccer game in the back yard, then of course later that evening trick or treating AGAIN, poor Ethan was so tired he walked up to me and said "Mommy my little legs are tired, I am done" and handed me his bucket, so cute. We had such a great weekend and even though I was very tired on Monday it was so worth it and just can't wait for the holidays to come!

This was at the end of the night Ethan was saying is was very dark and Alyssa grabbed his hand and said she would protect him...love it!
