Frightmares

This is our last post on this.

  But we can't complete the year without these pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October

 October was a fun month.  We went to a well check for my youngest.  Here they are hanging at the doctors office. The next picture was on the same time.  This is about the time my youngest decided it was fun to go down slides and she loves this little slide.

 October is fire safety month.  So there were firefighters everywhere we went and my son was in Heaven.  The first place we went they had fire safety stuff and then we got some dinner.

 Then we went to the Open House at the local Fire Station that month as well.  The kids love going every year.  They got to sit in the helicopter.

 My son got to watch the Fire fighters demonstrate how they put out fires and the importance of  fire alarms.

 Then his Preschool went to the Fire Station for a field trip and I tagged along to help.  Here are my favorite photos of the trip.  He would have talked the ears off the Fire Fighters if they would have let them.  He even told them that he knows everything.

Here is the littlest sitting in the wheel of the Fire Truck.

 A few pictures of my son with his class.  Notice he is front and center with the Fire Fighter.

 Then there was Halloween.  We went to a Trunk or Treat one day.  My son was walking by the fire truck and a Fire Fighter talked to him and gave him a hat and complimented him on his costume.  This is the first time I made his costume.  Like I said earlier there were Fire Fighters everywhere we went this month.

 She was Rapunzel.  I made this costume as well including the hair.  My husband helped by being my model so I could work on it while kids were asleep.  He is such a good trooper.  I married a great man.

 And here is our youngest.  She is wearing the princess dress I made for our oldest when she was small.  They look so much alike,  The only thing that I made this year was the crown.

 Finally we went to my Sisters to Trick or Treat this year to help a friend out who had a wedding to go down near my Sisters house.  It was fun because the kids got to go with their cousins which was a nice treat for them.  By the way I tend to make costumes a little too big.  There is always a hope they will want to wear it again plus it goes in the dress up stuff.

 Their uncle let them tie him up.  He is a good sport.

My oldest niece with my youngest who is the youngest cousin on my side of the family.  My youngest was so cute and just cuddled with her cousin for a while.

 Here they are at the end of the night after Trick or Treating.  Tired and excited for candy and some were a little cranky after getting scared at the last house they went to.  And yes the other fire fighter is wearing my sons old costume.  My son insisted that his best friend wear it and they were funny.

October

Ok I am going to do this whole month all at once.  Mostly because it is easier and it will give me a chance to catch up faster.  October was a lot of fun.  We went to the pumpkin patch, the Shopping Center's Halloween party close by, made a couple costumes and Trick or Treating.

The Pumpkin Patch the kids picked their own pumpkins.

 

 They tried to push the cart together because they think they are big and strong now.

 They played in the straw maze with Daddy who looks very pregnant with our baby staying warm inside the giant coat he is wearing.

 I even got a picture of me with the kids.

 Some pictures of the Merida costume I made inspired by the movie Brave.  We bought the wig at Target but the rest was all my design.  This wig made me think Little Orphan Annie more than Brave though.

 Here she is pretending to have a bow.

 Love this action shot of her running with her pink socks.  The best part was knowing that she was happy and loved the costume.  It was fun to make a modest Princess dress for once.  When my daughter wants to be a Princess I either have to alter the style of the dress or I have a limited few to choose from.  So whether you are a fan of Brave or not just know I appreciated a modest Princess.

 My sons favorite game with his Dad is stealing his hat and wearing it or hiding it.  

 And he look all too cute being a little punk. :0)

  Here the Kids are doing a craft at the Shopping Centers Party.  They had a Costume Contest for the kids.  Just so you know they didn't even take a second look at any of the costumes my kids wore.  They looked more at Harry and Ron costumes that stood by my Merida costume.  Oh well there is still satisfaction in knowing that in my daughters eyes the costume was perfect.

 Talking with Cinderella

 Here is the little bumble bee costume I made for my baby.  Seriously how cute is she?!

 On Halloween we got together with the neighbors and we ate soup and then went Trick or Treating.

 As you can see my son was Thomas the Train again this year.  I had plans to take him to the local Train Park and get pictures with him on their unused tracks but I failed to do so.  I had hope to make him something but when he wants to be the same thing as last year you just go with it.

 Some Trick or Treating action.
