Halloween #3 (at work & daycare)

We have a costume contest each year at work and there are always lots of creative costumes. It makes for a fun day and my mime costume won this year, yeah!  


Ridge gets a fun day at daycare on Halloween with orange pancakes, orange frosted cookies, and a costume parade.
 
Now onto Thanksgiving and Christmas! :)

Halloween #2

Ridge and I went down to the Burton's on Saturday.  Tawnya and I made little/big ghosts, figured out and made stuff for costumes, made soup, cookies, then went to the chili cook off and trunk or treat at church.  It was  busy day but so much for to enjoy holiday fun with family.  The boys were DARLING! I took them outside to take pictures in their costumes and they were totally in character, Riley was flapping all around like a bat, and Ridge was growling and clawing like a scary wear wolf, and Ian was chasing them around as Obi One Kanobi.  I took more pictures then needed but they were just so darn cute!  The party was fun too even if we were 45 mins late..  Tawny was a sexy mummy, and Connor pulled off a great Viking at the last minute. 
I told Ridge he gets to dress up one more time for the actual Halloween, and he said "another one"..  But he's excited.

Dress Up

Ridge and Naomi had fun together Friday night at Grandmas house.  They were pretty, pretty princesses while playing dress up. Ridge made a very lovely lady.

Halloween #1

Halloween is my second favorite holiday and I think it is quickly becoming Ridge's as well.  This year I was on a budget so Ridge and I were brainstorming fun yet cheap costume ideas.  Well it was a mixture of brainstorming and just changing our minds a lot.  But I think the outcome was perfect! Ridge had watched Abbot and Costello's "Frankenstein" movie with Grandma and it had Wear Wolf and Dracula in it so he decide he wanted to be a "Scary" Wear Wolf.   With the help of my friend who made the hat, I was able to make the rest of the costume for dirt cheap and Ridge loved it! 
We had our church party last night that was so much fun, Saturday we get to go with my sister to her church party, then next Thursday is Halloween! We are very excited for 3 parties but I'm sure after that we'll be ready for the next holiday.

Pumpkin Patch Daycare at the Pumpkin Patch!

Ridge and I have both been very excited about going to the pumpkin patch this year.  He remembered how much fun the the hay maze and the slide was and couldn't wait to do it again. The slide has ridges on it and gets faster with each kid who goes down, so they were shooting out the bottom then holding their bums saying owie as they ran up the stairs to do it again and again.   
Ridge is picky just like his mom when it comes to picking out a pumpkin so he'd carried one around till he found a better one then switched it out.  We also picked out pumpkins for Gma, Gpa, Daddy, and me so while I was trying to carry all those over to the tractor Ridge apparently was picking a new one of his own. On the ride back I saw him holding a tiny pumpkin with no stem and gross moldy holes on the back.  Luckily his heart wasn't set on it so when we got back to the main building I had him swap it out with a nicer one then quickly put them all in the car before he could change his mind again.
We lucked out with a beautiful sunny day with no wind, and we already can't wait till next year to go again.
