Happy Halloween!

Ok, fine. I know! I'm late! Halloween was a week ago! Oops :-)

Today my house is full of sickness. Gianna has pink eye and a bad cold.

I have a cold and am all achey.

Jeff has a sore throat. 

Good news is, that means I have a good excuse

to sit, chill and blog. 

Now, back to Halloween. 

This Halloween was so fun. Gianna loved it! 

A few weeks ago my dear friend, Molly, took Gianna

to Night Eyes at our local zoo. G was all dressed up in 

her Owl costume and got to get lots of candy (and ice cream!)

at the zoo. She had so much fun, and I'm a little sad that I didn't go, 

but I needed a ME day! 

Jeff was watching the Hawks play so I decided it would be a 

perfect Saturday to get caught up on orders and Christmas

presents!

Gianna had a blast. She loves Molly almost as much

as she loves me. ;-) Plus she got to look at animals

and get candy...what more could a kid want?!

Here are a few pictures from that day...

Then on Sunday, the 30th we carved pumpkins in the morning.

Jeff did an amazing Mickey Mouse pumpkin.

I cheated and just shaved off the top layers

of my pumpkin! Grandpa grew them for us

and mine was incredibly thick! 

 That evening we went with the girls I babysit

and their parents to a retirement home to trick or treat.

It was a good time! They had games to play and 

toys to win. Gianna loved it. Plus, she was a big hit in her adorable

costume (that I made :-)).

After that went to our 3 neighbors houses that we know. 

We hung out at one of our neighbors houses for a bit.

Gianna had got the hang of asking for candy. She kept going

up to Jake and holding out her hands for more candy!

We stashed her candy in a green bag and hid it in the kitchen.
However, she keeps finding it and asking for candy! 

She's too funny :-)
