First Halloween

For anyone that knows me knows that I absolutely LOVE holidays! Christmas is by far my favorite, but come August/September (whenever the weather decided to cool down some) I am in heaven! I sometimes get antsy and start putting out pumpkins in August because I just can't wait any longer, but this year I waiting until September before doing anything. It was tough, but I managed.

 

I started dressing Lakiebug in Halloween stuff as soon as decorations went up. So basically 2 months early :) She didn't mind at all!

 

We typically don't do much for Halloween other than put out a few pumpkins and hand out candy in our neighborhood. We usually just get our pumpkins from Walmart too. This year though, we decided to take Lakelyn  to the pumpkin patch to get some pumpkins! It actually ended up being really cold this day and we got a picture or two without the jacket, but it was just too cold to not have it on her, especially on her little bald head!

 

 

Of course, she tried to eat them ;)

 

We bought her 3 little pumpkins and 2 little baby pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, but I just could not see myself paying $30-40 for a big pumpkin when you can get nice fat pumpkins from Walmart for $4-5 a piece. So off to Wally world we went!

 

It took us a few days weeks to actually carve them, but a week before Halloween we did. Lakelyn of course carved a Minnie Mouse (I started it and daddy finished it and OMG it was harder than it seemed. We even chose the easiest looking one). I carved a bat and Tyler carved some kind of thing from the nightmare before Christmas I think it was called. I really don't know to be honest, I just found it and he picked it out.

Again, trying to eat them. And look how big this pumpkin is compared to her. Only paid $5 for it! WIN!



 

 

Parts on Minnie Broke off. Oops!

I couldn't find any good baby costumes. All the ones I found were the same ole lady bug or bumble bee and I just wasn't feeling it. So we were in target getting some candy to hand out and we found this cute little witch hat on a headband (it was for adults) and it fit her perfectly! and she already had the striped pants with the tutu on it and the Halloween socks. So I found the onesie at Walmart that matched. And that was her costume! The black hair was from a couple of years ago. I wore it and was the lady from the Addams Family. I cant remember her name now. But I saw it and just HAD to put it on her. lol. What is a witch without long black hair?

I wore a witch hat to match her and Ella wore a little witch costume too! It had a hat and tutu! We put a blanket in her wagon to sit on and took her for a walk around the block just to look at the decorations and all of the people. We did not get her any candy. She obviously could not eat any and we are those kind of people that lets our baby get candy for us to eat.

The dog was terrified of all of the people and because Lakelyn kept trying to grab her!

She had so much fun and then we went back home to hand out the rest of the candy and ate some pizza. After all was done we went inside and got a nice warm bath and some cuddles while watching the Hallmark Christmas Movie Marathon! (sidenote: on this day a year ago after the candy was handed out and a shower was taken and I was cuddled in the chair watching these Christmas movies that was the very first time Lakelyn kicked)
