We went Saturday night to Boo Bash. At first it was a little miserable because it was WAY too crowded. So the kids and I just strolled around and looked at things for a bit. We spent time with our friends and enjoyed that. About the last 20 minutes, we had some more friends join us. By then it had settled down some, so I took the kids back through to Trick or Treat before the booths closed up shop. It was a lot of fun at that point. Of course, it was starting to get a little too chilly for my comfort, so we left after we went down the line of booths.
At the beginning, ready for fun. Well Finn is anyway!
We picked up Daddy from work and headed home to get some sleep before the next busy day.
Sunday morning we slept mostly til we woke(or parents slept until kids decided we were done, haha. Thanks to the night before, it was a smidgen later than usual).
We headed out to Grapevine Mall for some fun with our friends.
I had everyone dress up a little so we could take a cute picture at the pumpkin patch later.
When I dress them up like this, it always gives me flashbacks to the days of being a little girl and making sure I dressed my dolls everyday. I love it! So much of our life is playdates, running errands or just home. Not much reason to really dress up there.
After going through some stores, we left for the pumpkin patch. We arrived just before dusk. The weather was perfect, The crowd was dying down a bit. It was a great time to get out and enjoy the fresh air and have some fun! Of course upon arrival, we looked back to find two sleeping babes. So we gave them about 20 more minutes, before unloading, to ensure positive attitudes.
I loved them providing wagons to use! Technically they were for hauling pumpkins but, hey, they weigh about the same. They had spent so much time in the stroller at the mall, I was happy they would get to do something a little fun and different. It allowed for easily getting in and out to see everything. It is weird though, last year it was only Finn in the wagon. It's crazy to be reminded so much of time passing like this. Now he rides with a buddy. I was fairly impressed with how well they both sat and rode together, nicely. I honestly didnt expect it. I thought they would see it like the buggy at the store and try to climb out, every chance they received!
We went for a hayride, took a nice stroll around the farm and through the large pumpkin patch, we played in the hay bales, admired the character cutouts they had around and just had a great time!
Of course before we left, we took a couple pictures amongst the pumpkins!
Happy Harvest 2012!
Today is Halloween. I cant wait to take my babies Trick or Treating. Since we do not know the area all that well, we are forgoing door to door and partaking in some fun at the local mall. They provide fun festivities and trick or treating. Luckily Stephen gets off work at 6, so he gets to join us! It will be nice to have both of us, so that I can let Finn actually walk and do his Trick or Treating! I cant wait!
