The Pumpkin Farm- (We tried a new one this year and it was pretty amazing. Tons of animals (tiger, zebra, giraffe etc.) and lots to do and see. Sadly, due to poor crops and some flooding they didn't actually have that many pumpkins. Oh well. I think Bel found one she liked....
Giving daddy kisses!
Yummy- my little cookie monster :)
Bel was sad to leave...........
Home to carve our pumpkin
I love the feel of that goop inside... Bel not so much
She decided just to color a pumpkin picture and supervise the carving from her high chair
Ta Da!
Now.... for the costume. This is a sore subject. If you haven't already heard the story behind Bel's Halloween costume- Here is the shortened version. Being that I LOVE Halloween and dressing up, I have been thinking about Isabel's costume for several months. I wanted her to wear something super cute and I wanted her costume to reflect her personality- (you know... something she likes) So, I thought.... Elmo? Maybe? A puppy dog? Possibly? Minnie Mouse? How cute!
So, we made the mistake of taking her to the Halloween store when we went to buy it. She ignored the Elmo, bypassed the puppy, and threw the Minnie ears on the ground. Instead... she grabbed a package from the lowest shelf and clutched it to her heart. She loved it so much she carried it all around the store. She cried when we tried to put it back. So................. we bought it. Let's just say it wouldn't have been my first choice.
A turtle!
(a realistic lizard/mutant turtle no less)
We had a lot of fun trick-or-treating this year. Isabel was old enough to understand the concept. She couldn't believe she got a "snack" at every door. And she loved her first chocolate bar.
People kept commenting on how cute our little GUY was... :)
Speaking of cute little guys... Lucky did not like his little turtle costume. (Actually HE probably would have preferred Minnie Mouse)
We capped off the day seeing the rest of our family and eating great food.
I love Halloween!
