More Fall Fun

In addition to our trip to the pumpkin patch, we also went to the Fall Festival in our town on Friday and had some of our cousins over for dinner and goodies on Halloween night. Here are a few pictures to commemorate all the fun we had. :)

I must be honest and tell you that my little butterfly did NOT love her costume...and that's an understatement! She like playing with it and squeezing it (the body is very squishy) but when it came time to actually wear it, she was not a fan! Most of my pictures from the Fall Fest on Friday look a lot like this...no smile, a bored look and Mike carrying her around because she would just fall on the ground if we tried to get her to walk. Sheesh!

In this one, I got half a smile as she was trying diligently to pull the hat off...and I probably only go the smile because she thought she was going to be successful!

Things started to get better as time went on...

Then she decided that she could get into it when she got her very first sucker! :)

She was soooo funny with it and whittled it down to nothing in no time at all. She would have gladly eaten the paper stick, too, if I had let her. She learned to say 'candy' and 'sucker' with no problem! ;p

On Monday night we had some of our cousins over to eat and play. Everyone was dressed up, of course, and we made sure to go to Mamaw and Papaw's (my grandparents) to get a little (read: waaaay too much) candy.

Hugs from my ballerina cousin, Zoey. :)

After visiting my grandparent's house, some of the kids went trick-or-treating while some others stayed back to hand out candy. Mike and I started out with a hyper little butterfly who wanted to do all the things that the big kids were doing, so we followed along to a few houses of neighbors we knew. That didn't last long, though...she got tired and stopped to take a break! She told us 'Rest!' and sat down on the curb. Too cute. :)

Once we were 'resting' more than we were walking, we came home and inspected the bounty! The kiddos racked up and there was more than enough candy for all of them...and the mamas and daddies too! ;p

And, of course, Preslie got yet another sucker...this time from Aunt Kim. She was one wound up little mama!

From the smiles on every one's faces and the copious amounts of (really good!) candy that were piled in the living room floor, I think it's safe to say that a good time was had by all...and we can't wait to do it again next time! :D
