Halloween Weekend - A Week Late


Hey everyone! I hope you have had a great week and are off to having a fantastic weekend! I wanted to get this posted and uploaded on Tuesday (Nov.1st)...but life happened! My daughter Raedyn came home early on Tuesday ...poor thing was crying all day from ear pain. She ended up having an inner ear infection :( Then she didn't go to school on Wednesday and stayed home sick...and it was a teacher work day on Thursday! So I had a house full all week. 

Today is now Friday and my little one Harper woke up crying and pulling her ear...guess what!!! She has an ear infection too! So this post had to wait...but I still wanted to share all the fun we had last weekend and over Halloween! The saturday before Halloween we attended a Zoo Boo event that our local zoo was having! It was the first time going and they did an excellent job and my kids really enjoyed it! It was so nice too...the weather was perfect and it wasn't overly crowded! They provided snacks, and goodie bags that the kids were able to take and "trick or treat" around the zoo to different booths that were set up and sponsored by local businesses! They even had a Cold Stone Ice Cream booth! We enjoyed walking the zoo and seeing all the animals out and about! 

Sunday evening my husband took the kids to our church for Trunk or Treat! I unfortunately had to miss this because I was working at our local bingo casino (for gymnastics booster club). The kids had hotdogs, and got tons of candy from the people we go to church with! Such an awesome activity and it was greatly appreciated. They then came home and carved pumpkins! 

On Monday we got all dressed up and enjoyed a {warm} night out with friends! We went trick or treating for about an hour and got enough candy to last till next year! Harper didn't like wearing her costume but boy did she enjoy getting her face painted! She enjoyed the face paint so much...that she actually got into it and painted her own face last night! She was such a mess...and surprisingly she didn't get any on her clothing or my new furniture! 


We hope you all had a safe and happy halloween!
