Halloween

Our Halloween this year was a four day process :) This year was so fun with both girls into the dressing up and of course the free candy! The previous showed pics of our Halloween party with some little friends on Wednesday. Thursday night we attended a new event to us called Boo!seum. This year was the 15th year and we are glad we found out about it. Nine Little Rock museums host the event with people able to walk between them and play games, do crafts and of course get candy. It was fun to walk around downtown and see all of the other kids.

Face painting was fun



Friday night was GSFest at our church. We had such a good time riding rides, playing games an seeing our friends. While Alyssa Kate rode quite a few rides this motorcycle ride was Caroline's only one. She was pretty calm before it started but as soon as it did....

she looked like this






Alyssa Kate loves to climb the rock walls on our play set at home and some of the parks we like to go to. There was a climbing wall at the festival and she said she wanted to do it. I was skeptical if she would actually go through with it but was proud of her even trying it. She showed no fear and mounted the over 30 foot wall and climbed like a monkey all the top and pushed a bottom that sounded an alarm to show she made it all the way to the top.






When she was finished on her first side the nice man that was running the wall asked if she wanted to climb the other side and of course she did. So, up the wall she went.

The was our first Halloween in our new house and the girls had a blast. I worked until 7 Sunday night and when I got home the girls and Wes were on the front porch handing out candy. The girls really liked giving candy to all the kids that came by. We set out after I got home to Trick or Treat for the first time. Alyssa Kate is a very shy girl with people she doesn't know and even if those she knows well but that girl went crazy Halloween night. She ran from house to house saying trick or treat and thank you to anyone who would give her candy. I guess if we want her not be shy we need everyone to give her candy when she sees them :)

Thanks for sharing about the Booseum thing, I think we'll have to try that next year. Not that we could possibly squeeze one more activity into the week of Halloween!!!

I am glad you did the museum thing. That is so neat! Something fun and different. Plus another use of the costume. I can't believe Alyssa Kate climed that whole wall!! I will have to talk to her about it in SS. So glad you all got to party with us. We will have to do it again! The girls make the most perfect fairies! So stinkin' cute!
