It started with a trip to the local pumpkin patch. Brock had a blast bouncing in the jumpers, riding the train, and playing on bales of hay. He almost forgot the sole purpose for being there; to buy a pumpkin. He chose a little orange and white pumpkin. Needless to say, we spent more money on train rides and jumpers than the silly pumpkin. But he sure had fun. Cade slept the entire time.
Our next big pre-Halloween fun was Brock's preschool's fall festival. They transformed the preschool into a fair with games, face painting, and a potluck, including a popcorn cart (who doesn't love the smell of freshly popped corn?) and apple cider. The kids had fun while the parents and teachers mingled. Brock was thrilled to have a green truck painted on his face.
On Halloween his preschool had a pajama party in lieu of wearing Halloween costumes. I thought that was clever and the kids loved wearing their PJ's all day. I'm pretty sure the teachers didn't mind, either.
After a fun filled day at school (they ate pumpkin waffles!) Brock transformed into a dinosaur and we hit the neighborhood for a little trick or treating. No pictures were taken by any of the parents (we were with a group) because we were all too busy chasing our sugar filled children.
Oh, and in case you're wondering what Cade did on Halloween, yep, you guessed it. He slept.
Happy Halloween, until next year...
