it's totally crazy that october is already gone, because it actually went SO. SLOW. with parker asking me EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. if it was halloween yet, i was about to pull my eyeballs out!!! next year we are definitely making a cute countdown so he doesnt ask me 5 MILLION times. but what can i say.... he was so excited to FINALLY dress up as captain hook, that all the asking was totally worth it when he woke up on Halloween morning and said with a HUGE smile on his face, "MOM! it's HALLOWEEN!!! YA-HOOO!!!!"
but before halloween could come, we had to make a trip to the pumpkin patch. and lucky parker, he got to go TWICE this year. We went one morning during the week with his preschool class, and it was so fun. and so nice because we were pretty much the only ones there, minus one or two other small preschool classes.
on our way to our field trip! it should be documented that i left brooklynn with a babysitter.... shocking i know...!!!!!!
then we went again with aunt diana, uncle chuck and our cousins marcus and charlee who drove over from Idaho Falls and stayed the weekend in boise.
brooklynn is clearly not a fan of selfies......
come one now kids... cant you PLEASE just both look and smile at the same time?!? is that too hard to ask?!?!?
oh he had SO much fun running around with these two.
is that a real/nice smile i see from parker?!? its a miracle!
after the pumpkin patch, we headed out for some dinner and swimming at the hotel, which parker and brooklynn both loved. made me miss our apartment pool.....
we also carved and painted pumpkins at some point during the month...
Finally halloween made it's debut! We had a pretty low key day though. spent it at the library, and having a fun halloween lunch.
parker decided back in the summer that he wanted to be captain hook, so i took that idea and ran with it! we all dressed up as characters from peter pan, and i do have to say, this might be my favorite family costume we have done yet! :)
oh be still my heart! can you believe i found that skirt and wings at the DI for less than $4?!?! Holler!
wait, whaaat?!?! is this for real?!? are we really all staring and smiling at the camera!?
hands down, cutest trick or treater out there!
i hope my kiddos always want to dress up matching their mom and dad! :)
and that my friends, was october..... now bring on Brooklynn's first birthday, thanksgiving, parker's 4th birthday (whaaat?!?!) and CHRISTMAS!!!!! (which i will for sure be making a countdown too!)
