Halloween 2017

We had so much Halloween fun this year!!!

Jacob's school had a Fall Festival the Friday before Halloween, and Lydia and I volunteered at one of the game booths. Jacob said the tattoo table was his favorite booth and loved showing off his "girl power" tat afterwards!

On Halloween Day, Jacob and his classmates all wore their costumes to school and had a fun party with lots of spooky treats. We made Frankenstein rice crispy treats!

The weekend before Halloween we went to the Fletcher Fall Festival. It was moved from the park to a gym due to rain, and while it was incredibly hot and shoulder-to-shoulder crowded, Jacob declared it the best Fall Festival ever!

The kids loved helping carve our pumpkin! Lydia wasn't as enthusiastic as Jacob, but she was very excited about the finished product.

And, finally, Halloween night!!!

The excitement level in our house was definitely off the charts! At one point, both kids were jumping up and down squealing, "I CAN'T WAIT!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!" Jacob was just as excited about handing candy out as he was, as Lydie says, "treating." He eagerly waited at the door for "customers" to arrive!

We had so much fun trick-or-treating in our neighborhood!

And of course the best part was picking out a special candy to eat before bed!

Holidays are so much fun with little kids! Watching their anticipation and excitement over Halloween makes me really excited about Christmas this year! Its going to be wild, I'm sure!!!
