Never wanting to miss an opportunity to let the girls experience new things, see their faces light up, & spend precious time with friends, we began the Halloween festivities bright and early! We had a full day planned for the kiddos including, but not limited to....trick or treating, donuts, lunch, library time, Halloween parties, and running free! We wore them completely out! =0)
1st Stop: Emmett O'Neal Mother Goose Halloween Party! Complete with songs, rhymes, cute children in their costumes + a Halloween snack of marshmallows and juice boxes! Does life get more fun as a 1 1/2 year old? Probably not! The girls love Ms. Eve tremendously and are mesmerized by her way with children.They sit so still and watch her every move and now it is so much fun to see them interact and participate in the songs and dance!
2nd Stop: Krispy Kreme (2nd visit if you're counting!) Who can turn down free donuts when wearing a costume? Not these girls =) Sprinkled donuts and chocolate milk= not a bad snack! The four kids did great sitting in their high chairs and sporting their Kripy Kreme hats for the photo op! From there we headed to...
3rd Stop: Hoover Library! They offer trick or treating at each circulation desk so the girls had an absolute ball being unstrapped from their stroller and being given free reign to walk quietly run wild through the library! These two little pumpkins caught on rather quickly to the idea of walk up, hold out your bucket, sign please and candy is dropped in. Baby B would sprint to the next stop while Baby A would stop to smell the flowers (or examine how the bookshelves are made). They did fabulous and it was such a joy to see them enjoying themselves so much and experience a little independence!
4th Stop: Lunch at the Schilder's House! Let's just say lunch on the floor of a new house with nothing containing them was not a huge success. But we can safely say they had a great time testing out some new toys and running every which way with two of their library friends! We decided it was probably best to get at least a short nap in before a night of trick or treating so we headed home. And we had not been gone for more than 3 minutes before I turned around to see two babies, fast asleep!
We continued the fun festivities with several families later that night! We couldn't have asked for better weather as we made our rounds up and down the streets of Ross Bridge, letting the girls trick or treat. If there was a "stick" (aka lollipop), then that was the girls obvious pick! And unbeknownst to me, Makenzie had bitten through quite a few wrappers to get to the sucker :) Too funny, but rather sticky!! All in all, the day was such a memory & our Halloween was quite happy! All four of us slept rather soundly from all the fun that was had!
