Halloween

On Monday, Linda came over to help make cookies for our Halloween Party.

Brooklyn was such a good helper!

 

Here is my lovely Halloween Tablescape!

We had Richard's friend from the Coast Guard that he met in Alaska over. We found out about 2 months ago, that they now live about a mile from us! This is their daughter Zoey. They are enjoying fun friend time at the Kid's Table.

 

Harley dressed up as a Monkey!

 

 Brooklyn dressed up as Merida!

 

 

Here are the cookies that I made. They definitely don't look like the cookies from pinterest, but I refuse to give up. One day, I will have good looking cookies. At least, they tasted AMAZING!

 

 These are our friends Sarah and Jed.

 Every time we walked up to a house Brooklyn would say "Tricker Treating", and every time the homeowner would laugh. Then she would say "thank you", and then immediately say"ok, daddy. one more house?"

 

We had so much fun on Halloween, by spending time with our family and friends and trick or treating! That's the best way to spend your time: Surrounding by the one's you love, enjoying the time you spend together!



Carving a Pumpkin

After we got home from Dewberry Farms I carved the 17-pounder. Brooklyn had to have Molly from the Bubble Guppies! Of course, she didn't want to get her hands dirty. So instead of helping mommy carve her pumpkin, she had a pampering spa treatment given by my sister. She painted Brooklyn's fingers and toes a very sparkly pink!

Dewberry Farms

We went to Dewberry Farms in Brookshire.

Well worth the hour and half drive and $36 dollars to get in.

Brooklyn played in Little Farmville on the small roller slide.

We then walked through the 8 acre corn maze.

As we walked through the maze Brooklyn would say, "I want to go the Left." And then she would promptly walk to the right! She would not move past this point because she wanted to go that way - Never mind that "that way" was a circle we had already walked around TWICE!

We tried talking pictures at the 8 acre pumpkin patch, but being the last weekend before Halloween the pumpkins were pretty much picked through when we got there.

 

We did find one pumpkin to take home. A 17-pound er that cost $8.50.

We got tired of carrying the pumpkin and had to use the stroller to carry it!

 

We then took a tractor ride in Cow-Barrels. The barrels had horns and tails, and we curved all through a pasture for about 4 minutes. It was dusty, but worth it!

 
We then found the "Big Kids" Roller Slide. I helped Brooklyn and Harley make the trek down the slide. Harley cried the entire way down.

 
My little girl is now 3 feet and 2 inches tall!

 

Farmer Pops and Gigi, were tending the farm!

 
Of Course, if there is pony ride, Brooklyn has to ride it! We paid $5 to ride around a circle 5 times.

 

 Oh, Well.... This was all worth it! I really enjoyed spending the day with my family and the kiddos! Only wish our hubbies and brother could have been there!
