Our Halloween Chronicals

The Monday before Halloween, Gabs got to go the Discovery Museum's "Boo Bash" with her friends Emily and Ethan. It was only for kids 4 years and up, so Cash stuck back with daddy so Gabs and I could have some mommy/daughter time. Not that she was paying a bit of attention to me though!

There was so much for the kids to do, including oodles of crafts, which is where she spent most of her time.

The kids' school had their annual Halloween party, followed by a parade.

Here she is...the "Queen" monarch butterfly. She wasn't just a butterfly, or even a monarch butterfly. She was a "Queen" (emphasis on that word) monarch butterfly. The girl cracks me up! Who knows where she got that!

We've spent the last several Halloween nights trick or treating with the Hutson's (Jillian) and Ericka & Tracy's cousin, Brianna. Brianna and Gabs wanted a picture with our resident "witch"!

It's always a good time, except when the girls are pushing and shoving over who gets be the line leader and ring the doorbell! Yes, I'll admit, it's usually my daughter initiating this. It's like a game to her and she's soooo got that competitive gene already. You know that makes daddy proud!

Cassius was just trying to keep up as usual. He did okay at the first house, but then he saw some kids with masks on and it was over. Totally freaked him out! That meant daddy had to carry him the rest of the way!

The weather was awesome by the way! I think the high reached about 74 and it was still nice in the early evening. Nicest Halloween I can remember in a LONG time. It's usually freezing and/or raining.
