Halloween

We filled up the end of October with Halloween fun.

Sam and I went to a fall fest at the local children's museum.  It was amazing.  Such great activities and prizes.  They even gave out a pumpkin.  Sam wore her costume from Halloween 2010.

Zoey has also taken to wearing dress up clothes lately, including the fairy costume.

I saw this on pinterest and got Nick to carve it.  Unfortunately, I did not bleach it right away and in just a day or two it started to rot.  So it was gross by Halloween.

The moms club had a Trunk or Treat event.  We went as avengers characters.  Sam was black widow, Zoey was the hulk, Nick was Tony Stark and I was Pepper Potts.  I did not even take any pictures of us or our decorated car.

For Halloween, Sam wanted to go as a cheerleader.  A friend gave her this American Idol dress up costume and she wanted to wear it, but I thought it was a bit too revealing for out and about.  I was going to have to talk her into something else, but our neighbor asked her what she wanted to be and offered to loan her a Miami cheerleading outfit.  So that is what she wore for trick or treating.  To balance it a bit, I put Zoey in the GT one, even though Tech's season is not going well.

Sam was so excited and could not wait.  She got ready so early and loved trick or treating.  Zoey had a blast too.  She would ride in the stroller, but would jump out, demand her pooh bear pail and run up saying "Treat, treat!"

At my parents, she let herself right in and tried to make off with the whole bucket.

We celebrated my dad's birthday in early November because of trick or treating.

And you can see Zoey is sporting a new injury from falling off a bench.  Yikes that girl falls a lot!

 And that brings us to election day.  Sam was so excited that she begged us to take her to vote with us, which we did.  Nick thought she could even use the machine, but we had to bubble in our ballots.  After dinner, I suggested a starbucks run.  They had been giving out bracelets if you had an I voted sticker.  They had run out by evening, but we all got a treat and celebrated the electoral process.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and thankful November.
