Happy Halloween!

We had a fun and eventful Halloween this year! I met my mom the Wednesday before to give her Colt for the rest of the week. Then she was going to bring him home on Halloween and bring Tate too. My stepmom told me about a fall festival at her church in Huntsville, so we decided to take Avery. It was Halloween afternoon and the weather was barely holding it together. Avery decided to switch it up and dress as Mike Wazowski for the festival. We had a ball!

A while after we got there my mom and the boys had made it into Huntsville and joined us at the church.

 

The boys were costumeless but still had fun. They got to trunk or treat and play for a bit.

 

They had an adorable petting zoo with the cutest animals I've ever seen. This llama was my favorite. They had food you could feed them. Those had to be some full animals after all those kids fed them!!

 

We went inside for a few more bounce houses before heading home.

 

We had to park at a nearby high school and take a school bus to the church. I got a little sad when I realized Avery would be riding one next year. We headed home to rest a bit and eat some 50 cent Sonic corndogs before trick or treating.

 

Mike, the bat, and the Flash. Avery switched back to her original costume and Colt very willingly put on Mike. I have never been more shocked in my life. All week the weather forecast told us it would rain Halloween night. For once the weather was right on point. So disappointing. Luckily, our church in Fayetteville had their trunk or treat that we got to go to. We got there and were happy to see it moved inside. It was so much fun. Everyone at FBC did a spectacular job setting up and executing this event.

 

They had it to where you just walked through in a line and got tons and tons of candy. Mike was a hit!! It probably didn't hurt that the cutest boy ever was wearing the costume. We came out with candy, cotton candy, popcorn, chips, drinks....it was amazing! We did what we set out to do and we barely got wet!

 

We got home and took inventory. What a fun night!!

 

Halloween was definitely a success this year, and we were so happy to spend it with Meme and Tate!

 

I found out that Avery has no idea what Thanksgiving is, so we will be spending the next few weeks teaching and learning and reflecting on everything we have to be thankful for.
