Halloween

The boys had a great Halloween this year.  We went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.  They also dressed up for the school Halloween party.  We always have fun with this holiday and love dressing up.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year.  Grayson dressed up as Darth Vador, Liam was a storm trooper and I was Boba Fett from Star Wars.  Daddy was supposed to dress up as well, but he didn't like his costume so he decided to wait until next year.  We took the kids trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.  We went to a bunch of houses in the area and then handed out some candy at our house.  The kids really made out with the candy.  

We loved decorating our house for Halloween this year both inside and outside.  We always have fun putting the decorations up.  The boys decorated Halloween cookies this year with sugar cookies, frosting and sprinkles.  

Liam got a sore throat the day before Halloween so he ended up staying home from school on  Halloween and missing the school parade, classroom party and school party.  He was so bummed.  Daddy and Grayson had fun at the school party and we can't wait to take both of them next year.  

Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch

We pushed off the pumpkin patch twice this season because Grayson was asked to play on the blue I soccer team.  Luckily the day before Halloween we played in a blue II game and then in a blue I game and were able to make it to the pumpkin patch.  We drove to Des Plaines for the second game and then headed to Goebbert's pumpkin patch afterwards.  We got there around 2:30, which was perfect timing as there were not a lot of people there.  The boys had a lot of fun riding the camel, jumping on the pillow, feeding the giraffe, going through the haunted house, running up the hay and exploring the rest of the pumpkin patch.
