Halloween 2024: The Pumpkin Patch

 Me and the kids had fun at Halloween this year. We missed Mason, but he has to work til 9 on Wednesdays and til 10 on Thursdays, so it wasn't in the cards for him to come this year. But he offered a lot of emotional support while I made our costumes and wished us luck trick or treating. 

Abby decided she wanted to be a Jack-o-lantern for Halloween this year. Calliope didn't care what she was, so Abby decided that Calliope also wanted to be a jack-o-lantern. The costumes were easy to make, I just hot glued some black felt onto some solid orange shirts. My felt was just safety pinned on. We stuffed our shirts with walmart bags to make us look nice and round, but Abby HATED them and took all of hers out, and Calliope's kept falling out her leg holes, so I ended up with all of the bags by the end of the trunk or treat. We decided to leave the bags at home during Halloween night trick or treating. We went with the Salters, our yearly tradition. This year the Barlows came too. It was a lot of fun and we had SO MUCH CANDY in our house. Luckily the kids mostly forgot about it after about a week and a half.

Halloween bats. Mom cut out a bunch for us on her silhouette!

We brought some burritos the the Gregson's house and played on their trampoline while we waited for trick or treat time. These kids had a blast on here! Calliope kept tackling Abby and they'd laugh and laugh. It was a different story when Ross got on though haha.

Abby and Ross. They've been trick or treating every year together since they were 1!
