Halloween-y weekend

First of all, I wasn't able to take pics at the Halloween parade. BBB loved the bands- loved. And we forgot Jack's costume and she was sooo upset so Aunt Jeanette gave her a beautiful shirt to wear as a dress and braided her hair which mended wounds we can only imagine. It was soooo nice. So nice to hang w grandpa and grandma and the rest of the Shoemakers. And grandpa looked great and his sense of humor was in tact. 

Below is my brainiac beauty on Thurs. She looked so striking and so much like her Dada I had to take a pic 

Thurs after gym, we hit up the DCM. First time B wanted my help, yet didn't.  He's a complicated man. 

Jax. Last year at this time her legs couldn't reach the handles. 

Thurs evening, cross-dressing w her oldest friend Will.

Friday we went to park after school then came home and had a quiet night. 

Sat was Halloween parade and today Aunt Smoddy came for our Halloween tradition: pumpkins and ice cream. 

She took these pics and sent them to me. 

First time the kids picked pumpkins directly from a patch. 

Hill tried to sneak a rotting pumpkin she fell in love with into the wagon. Smod reminded her it was rotting and she said she was "just looking at it." Yeah right! Heh. Then we went for ice cream.

All 3 kids and Jim were passed out cold when we got home so Smod and I caught up over our pumpkin carvings. 

Proud to admit I branched out and carved a pirate skeleton and Smod made her typical traditional pumpkin. 

Anyway, this weekend was awesome. I hung out w people I love and got to watch my kids enjoy my fave Halloween traditions.
