Halloween Festivities

The end of October was very busy for us. I am going to apologize for this being a long post with lots and lots of pictures!

We went to our Church pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. In the past we have always gone to a big Pumpkin Patch farm but decided it would be easier to go to our church's patch. I thought the pumpkins were better there too :) It was a beautiful day and we picked out the perfect pumpkins.

can you tell Aly has had enough of her sister...

 Aly LOVED the hay!

Once we got our pumpkins, it was time to carve them. Ansley has never liked this part. She likes the concept but not the gooey mess of pulling out the insides of the pumpkin. We were not very creative this year and just did a simple jack-o-lantern.

ready to get started now that all the guts are out...

 Here is Ansley before she left to go to a birthday party at a pumpkin patch. I thought she looked so cute in the shirt Chantal made her. Aly is wearing hers in the above pics :)

Ansley also got to go back to our church pumpkin patch with her preschool class. It was kind of crazy and started to rain which made it very interesting. Ansley really didn't want anything to do with taking pictures this day (she was definitely in a mood!).

 Ansley finally smiled after pouting most of the morning

Halloween day was a crazy day, Aly was teething really bad and I was over Halloween before it really started! Our theme this year was princesses :) Aly was a fairy princess, while Ansley was Sleeping Beauty. Ansley was beyond excited about getting to dress up in her princess outfit. Aly ended up spitting up all over her costume within minutes of having it on.... but they still looked cute and I was actually able to get a couple of pics before Ansley & Rob headed out to go trick-or-treating. Rob said Ansley absolutely loved the concept of trick-or-treating this year. I was sad to have missed it but really was fine staying home in a nice warm house :)

I bought so much candy this year and it was all gone within an hour and a half. Our neighborhood was absolutely insane this year, there were so many kids being dropped off by the carloads. Next year we will all be able to go trick-or-treating which will be a lot of fun!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!
