This year our Halloween countdown has been a bust and I am bummed about it. This past week did not go like I planned-at all. Last Monday, we were supposed to have our "Ghost Day". I had just put our Ghostly Shepherds Pie in the oven and then something hit me and I was suddenly so sick. I spent all Monday night horribly ill and then Tessa and Gwen came down with it too. We spent all of Tuesday being sick and were very thankful for Eric who stayed home from work and took good care of us! The girls bounced back by Tuesday evening, but it took me until Saturday to feel good again. So, so much for our week of fun activities.
There wasn't any school on Friday, so I mustered up some energy and we tried to have some fun. We made some skeletons with q-tips.
Saturday, we made some witch hat cookies.
Friday afternoon we also got out of the house and went to the Pumpkin Patch. It was challenging to chase all 3 kids around and take pictures, but we had fun and the kids were thrilled to finally pick up some pumpkins.
Gwen was not a fan of the corn box.
Poor Gwen couldn't climb up the bales of hay on her own, so Tessa was a good sister and tried to help her up to the slides.
Saturday night we had our ward Trunk or Treat Party. Gwen wasn't sure about it at first, but after she saw that people were just giving her candy, she loved it. Everyone loved their cute costumes!
Someone in our ward brought Flo the Car. The kids went crazy when they saw her.
We are hoping everyone stays healthy this week so we can have some fun before the big Halloween celebration. These kids can hardly wait!
