Halloween Kids Party

My happy little pumpkin snug in her carseat

A bunch of my friends and I got our kids together for a little Halloween Party at the park. Thanks to Lisa, Heather and Summer for a fishing game, pumpkin painting, and cookie decorating. All the other moms brought candy and the kids just went around and got some treats and then played at the park. It was really low-key, which I am realizing is perfect for our baby/toddler/preschool/kindergardener age kids. Lily LOVED painting her pumpkin PINK!

Brinlee the Peacock

Lots of Superheros

Trying to get a good group picture of 20+ kids = IMPOSSIBLE, but still worth a try

A cute princess and witch

Playing around the park (notice the girl in green, poor thing was playing with her grandma when we got there, and the only one not a part of the party. So of course we had her join in the festivities, and boy did she ever jump in, having us push her on the swings, helping Lily paint her pumpkin, getting lots of treats, and jumping in all the pictures, it was pretty funny)

Hayleigh the Lobster (This costume of Lisa's has been quite a hit with a bunch of babies, Lily wore this her first Halloween too)

My little Pumpkin Ella, the little hat kept falling in her eyes and it was so funny because she would just lift her head up trying to look out.

Kennedy the bumblebee

Lily and Avery, two princesses

The awesome Mommas

Friend Tea Party

The other day Lily wanted "chocolate tea" with her friend Emma. So they dressed up, and we completed the tea with goldfish and graham crackers with frosting. They are pretty common these days, but I know will definatly miss these tea parties someday.

Puppy Girl

Lily went to the puppy party of one of our friends and she was the cutest thing. I had to put eyeliner on the next day to recreate the puppy face because she was so sad that it washed off in the tub.

Proud Parent Moment

We just got back from our ward trunk-or-treat and Lily got tons of goodies. When we got home I said she could have just one tonight, and she picked an apple and ate the whole thing (yes someone gave out apples, yay!). Chad let her pick two because he felt the apple wasn't enough, but needless to say I was very wowed by her choice because she loves a good treat, and afterwards said "mom, thank you so much". Anyway I just wanted to document this because I wouldn't believe it other-wise.

Cornbelly's

The girls and I went with my friend Angi and her boys. Angi caught these cute pictures of the kids. Seriously it was so fun with duck races, slides, pumpkin princesses, dress-up, jumping houses, a train ride and some pig races.

Pumpkinland

A couple of weeks ago we went to Pumpkinland with some friends and it was very fun.
Waiting for our friends to show up, Lily was excited just to see all the pretty flowers

And "look mom, a tiny pumpkin"

"I want this one" looking at a 50 lb. one out front.

Cute Kennedy

They loved poking their little heads through these

And loved to stop and pose with anything along the path! Needless to say we got a ton of pictures. I love how they are each looking in the opposite direction!

Little Pumpkins

Checkin' out the goats

Lots of fun was had in the bouncy house, we were lucky that it wasn't too crowded yet

And they played on this slide for like 15 minutes

Best Buds

Just happy, hangin' out

"Cheeeeeese"

These were taken at the very end, and it was like pulling teeth to get these two hungry girls to cooperate

It really got us in the Fall/Halloween spirit.
