Halloween

Pin It Now! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  I loved it as a child and have found I love it as a mom, too!  We had a pretty busy Halloween weekend.  It started on Friday when some of my friends and I took our kids downtown for Halloweenie (Halloween for teenie weenies).  Most of the stores were open and handing out candy.  It was a mad house!  The sidewalks were packed and it was so tough getting in and out of the stores.  My friends all took strollers but I opted to carry Avery, that way we could practice our walking once we got into the store (I would hold her hand for support since she's not an independent walker yet).  She was so cute walking up with her trick or treat bag!


Saturday we carved our pumpkins.  Avery had so much fun helping me get all the gooey mess out of the pumpkins.  By the end of it she was covered, it's a good think we stripped her down to her diaper!

On Halloween evening (not really night since Avery starts bedtime routine at about 6:15 and is down at 7) we took our little bumble bee to both sets of grandparents houses and stopped by a couple neighbors.  We didn't want to do too much but knew we had couple places we had to go!

I love the shiny wings and stinger!  So cute!

One of Avery's favorite "toys" are those cards that play music.  She loves opening and closing them and dancing to the music.  So my mom got her a Scooby Doo Halloween card that she just loves.  It even has these little buttons that you can push and characters from the show will say something.  She had to best time playing with it!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
