Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you guys all had a great time! Olivia didn't quite get Halloween last year, but this year she understood it pretty good and was very excited about dressing up for several weeks leading up to it. Every time someone asked her what she was going to be for Halloween, she'd reply "I be snow white!" very excited! Ok, so maybe the grammar needed a little work - but it was very cute the way she said it, so no one minded! :)

Here is our cute little Snow White:

So on Friday before Halloween we had a day full of Halloween fun. We brought her costume to daycare and they had a little Halloween party. Here they are all dressed up (even some of Angela's grand-babies came to join the fun!):




That afternoon we went to see Daddy at work for his work Halloween party they were having all day. All of them were dressing up and having a costume contest. Let me tell you - it was quite a site when we walked in! They had a lot of their clients just coming by to say hello and visit with them - that's always a good sign when their clients like them enough to visit even when they don't have an appt! Grant was dressed up as a crazy hippie dude! Check him out:

And he treated his patients like that all day!!! The funny thing was that when we first got there and walked in the gym, Olivia had no idea who he was. I kept pointing to him and telling her that was her daddy. She had this look like "um . .. I don't think so!" and then after a while (probably almost 2 minutes), recognition hit her - her whole face lit up and she yelled "DADDEEEEE" and ran over to him. Everyone there thought that was so funny!

Some of the other costumes there were:

Olivier (His business partner), dressed as a big baby! (Wrong in so many ways!) Sam was dressed as a bee keeper with little Alexandra as a bee, they had a poodle skirt girl, a cat, a banana and the winner of the contest (since Olivier and Grant didn't count) was Jen dressed as Workout Barbie. Here she is giving Olivia her workout:

Then after we hung out there for a couple hours, it was time to head over to the Little Gym for their "Boo Fest" - they had the gym open, were giving out candy and their business park was open for trick or treating for the occasion. So we had a good time doing a trial run of trick or treating. She did really well - she even said "trick or treat" and "Thank you" to everyone without hesitation. Here she is with the BIG CAT outside the little gym:

Then we picked up some dinner, ate and crashed! On Saturday we didn't make it to the little gym because our house was becoming infested with colds (especially Grant and Olivia) - So we took it easy that morning. But that afternoon, it was time to carve those pumpkins we got at Hillridge Farms! Olivia wasn't too keen on reaching into the pumpkin to get the guts out - so we had to help. But She did pick out the pumpkin at the patch and picked out which face she wanted us to carve on it. So she was a good "helper" - maybe next year we can get her to help with the guts! :)

Here she is with *her* pumpkin:

On Sunday, we had invited Sara, Randy and Gracie to come over to trick or treat with us - so the girls could go together. (and our neighborhood is bigger than theirs - more candy!) Gracie dressed up like Tinker Bell (her costume, shoes and wand even lit up!!). The two of them were really cute!

And Sara decided that she was going to make the two of us dress up, too! She even brought a costume over for me. After a little hesitation, I joined the fun. Here we are:

Bat Girl and Super Girl to the rescue!

It was all fine until I answered the door to some ~12 year old boys and one of them was like "heeey there bat girl!" and he was checking me out - yeah, I had a 12 year old hit on me! That's just a little bit disturbing! Sara found it hilarious, but I found it a bit creepy! Oh, well!

All in all, Halloween was a lot of fun. We had another busy weekend, but that's not a bad thing!
