Our First School Halloween Party!

Halloween part 3... 

Sibling love.

The kids did this super cute little parade in their costumes around the school building today. I tried to get a video but the little brother was having no part of it. Sweet Sammie marched right by us with her hands on her hips barely cracking a smile. Such a mess that girl... I later figured out they walk from classroom to classroom with their hands on their hips. Why doesn't she follow the rules at home?!

Sweet pose. 

So Mommy-fail... I have forgotten the shoes for Alice... oops.

Fun day!! More to come!!

Spooky Lessons

We are not crazy over scheduled toddlers but Halloween week sure seems to be eventful! 

On Tuesdays Dee attends KinderMusik in Cary while sister is at school. They had their Halloween party this week and it was precious. 

I love watching the kids interact with one another and musical instruments. Dee especially loves the drums. 

If you met Dee before he could walk you probably saw him "hop" from place to place on his knees. Well... He just jumps from place to place these days. 

Some of the kids do not care for the parachute in class... Dee eats it up! 

After class we run to grab Sammie and take her to ballet class. She was Alice In Wonderland today and so cute. 

Dee tries to crash ballet class every week. Poor kid just wants to be big.

Our new sweet dance friend. She was so excited to be a "cupcake fairy" so smiled that big for 45 minutes! 

We have 1 busy day a week but it was super fun!!!

Choo Choo!

Our little man is all about the Choo Choos! And by Choo Choos, I mean anything with wheels. Trains, cars... Anything! 

When Grammy was in town, she very kindly gifted Dee this amazing train table! The kid spends so much time with the trains! It's heaven! 

Now, he gets a bit frustrated with the levels so we have taken down some of the fun stuff and made the track simple for now. When he's a bit older we can add the cool stuff back on. 

Thank you Grammy! We love it!! 

Downtown Halloween

I love all this little community has to offer.

 Last night the Hubs and I hired a babysitter and went downtown for the Witches of Salem Street event. (A cute little event where all the shops stay open and give discounts to those in witch hats!) 

It was so nice to get out of the house and have some adult time! I also loved having the time to walk through the shops downtown without "little hands". 

Then today we headed back downtown to do a little trick or treating on Salem with the kids. I wouldn't let them wear their actual Halloween costumes because we planned on having dinner out in costume. So, we dug in the costume closet and found Snow White and Woody.

In an attempt to get a cute pic before we started... I just got sass and tears. 

Then "Woody" discovered that this entire adventure was about candy and he was happy as can be! 

"Snow White" did a lot of the trick or treating without "Woody", who was content to have a sucker in the stroller most of the time.

And then "Woody" decided he wanted to run a muck. No trick or treating, no actual purpose to where he was going... Just full of sugar! 

And I was so lucky to catch a sweet moment! 

Here's to a week of candy, costumes and fun!! I love October!

Tutus, Tiaras and Wings... Oh my!

Thank goodness Sammie has a big closet! The kid is obsessed with dress up! She loves to emerge from her room in a different outfit, accessories are BIG these days and I love it! 

Below is a snippet of what I've been enjoying for the last month.

Pocahontas jamming out! 

Brother gets dressed up whether he likes it or not.

Every fairy needs make up.

Elsa complete with ponytail.

Still in Elsa with some tink on top!

No idea what she is...

Yes, she appeared like this to play at the park. 

Looks like we have a fashion victim on our hands!
