The weekend before Halloween, a friend of James and Madeleine had her birthday party - and it was Halloweed themed. Which meant all the kids got to wear their costumes! They loved it :)



 

Madeleine loves shopping at Costco with me... cant you tell? ;)



 

This is what James' face looks like almost every day when I pick him up from school. I know he doesn't eat dirt... but I have no idea how he gets his face covered in it!



 

We carved pumpkins - which officially started the countdown to Trick or Treating for James (does he look excited?)! I am a terrible carver, and John is even worse... so this year we ended up using cookie cutters. We let the kids pick out what they wanted and then we held the cutters while they swung a rubber hammer. It worked out actually really well! Much easier and faster - plus the kids got to help which  they loved.

 

 

My friend made us cupcakes last week, which was very nice of her - but turns out they were dairy free cupcakes. They were a little thick and hard to swallow!



 

We went with a friend to IHOP on Halloween and the kids got to make scary pumpkins! They thought it was the coolest thing. I was reminded though why I haven't been back to IHOP since college...



 

We have a new Publix by our house now, I love it! Madeleine does too because they have shopping carts that are just her size. And they actually hold a good amount of food so she usually gets to push the cart on our Publix trips :)



 

I love how she can still just fall asleep in the car. I wish someone would drive me around so I could take a nap!



 

There is this HUGE antique warehouse that John and I love to go to. That's where I get all my fabric and where we find all of our random things we use for projects or knick knacks. However it is so big that they kids get tired and bored when we go - so we have to bring the wagon and things to entertain them. John and I can literally spend hours there just walking up and down the aisles.



 

 

And since they kids are such good sports while we shop, we  hit up Steak and Shake for milkshakes :)
