Seriously. It was just one of those never-ending weeks. The girls had me on my toes constantly, and Dave had to work a bunch, which meant it was 2 v 1, and I barely won. But, it’s Friday! We have our neighborhood Halloween party tonight, which has been deemed an “extravaganza” due to the amount of RSVPS. 75 kids. Crazy. So excited for trick-or-treating, donut eating contests, gourd bowling, fun music, and just hanging out with our fun neighbors. Also, super excited to unveil our costumes! I have been working on them for over a month – we better win the costume contest 😉 I was also asked to make a chalkboard and set up a backdrop for photo-ops. Always fun to get creative. i am also in charge of desserts for the party – shocking, I know. Luckily, I have my little helper in the kitchen with me:
Don’t worry – the spoon-licking happened post-frosting 😉
Peyton also had homework this week. Yes. Homework from pre-school. Fortunately, it was fun! She was given a pumpkin, which for a 3 year old is the best thing that could ever happen, and then told to decorate it (with mom and dad’s help) without carving it. We opted for a melted crayon pumpkin, because I am obsessed with those canvases and P loves to make them with me. We painted her pumpkin white, and she picked the crayons she wanted, and we set to work.
I love this picture, because she was SO proud of herself. Her happiness was short-lived when she learned she had to leave the pumpkin at school until Halloween – gasp.
I hope you have some fun weekend plans ahead!!
How do you have 2 kids and the time to do all this let alone wash your hair!?!?
All about the dry shampoo 😉
how did you do the pumpkin?
We used krazy glue to attach crayons (peeled the paper off and broken in half) to the top, then heated with a hair dryer 🙂
