We asked Luke and Olivia a few months ago what they wanted to be and Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse was the resounding answer! I usually try to make their costumes, but this year it was going to be easier to buy them. I found a Minnie Mouse dress through the CMOM's club and a Mickey costume online. Done!
A few weekends before Halloween, we went to a pumpkin patch with the CMOM's group. We got 2 little pumpkins for Luke and Olivia to decorate and a larger pumpkin for Dan to carve. They had a great time painting and putting stickers on their creations, while Dan got really creative and made the big pumpkin into a Mickey and Minnie. Here are the results:
Then we went with some friends to a local pumpkin patch for even more fun. We went on a hayride and got to pick out 2 more pumpkins. They had tons of fun playing with their friends and running around.
Their class had a little party at school and I got to go to it. It's so cute to see them sitting around the small tables with their friends. They look so grown up and just another reminder of how quickly it's all going by.
It was finally time to go trick or treating! Now that they are older, we talked to them about the evening so they wouldn't be scared. They learned to say "trick or treat" and "thank you for the treat." We explained to them that we were going to a costume parade at the clubhouse, going to see a fire truck, have a pizza party dinner and then trick or treat with our friends. We loaded them into the wagon and started our adventure. We thought we would only make it to a few houses, but they were troopers and kept going and going. Must have been the sugar rush as we were out until almost 8pm! After we were all done trick or treating, we briefly got to go to Aunt B, Uncle Marc's and Milo's house so we could say hello.
Here are a few pics from the evening. Happy Halloween!
Can you handle all of this cuteness???
