Trick or Treat!

Is there anything more fun in the world than trick or treating with a two year old?  Seriously this kid had a blast.  Running from one house saying "I go get more canny!" on the way to the next house.  So much fun.  We went up to Mason to trick or treat with my step-dad who really wanted to dress up and go and his kids have reached the age where they are far too cool for trick or treating with their parents, and close to too old for trick or treating peroid.  So I took a half day of work and picked Addison up from the sitter early and made the drive up to Mason in time for a quick dinner before freezing our buns off and trick or treating.

Halloween Photos the WW Edition

well we tried, cranky baby, overdue nap, child who would not stay in the correct light or the costume...we were left with these instead of great costume shots.  But what better to remember the age of toddler-hood?

Happy Halloween {photo bomb}

As I mentioned before my girlfriends and I went to the haunted house on Friday.

It was a good time, a few of them had never been through a haunted house before.  Can you imagine?  So we made the virgins go first so they got to experience all the first scares.  I had a blast and laughed just as much as I screamed.

Today Tony, Addison and I carved our pumpkins, FINALLY.  Talk about some last minute carving, I guess we'll be lighting our pumpkins past Halloween this year!

Haunted Houses and Bloggy Awards

I'm excited to be going to a haunted house tonight with some of my girlfriends, I think it's been at least 2 years since I was able to go to one!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!  We are going here: The Bone Yard.  For 20 bucks I hope its as awesome as it sounds.  Though if I'm with a bunch of girls I will probably spend just as much time laughing as I do screaming!

Yay Halloween!

I still need to get around to carving those pumpkins that are sitting on the porch.  eeek, Halloween is Monday!  I'll have to remember to bring them inside so that they can warm up and maybe carve them on Saturday.  I feel like I've had a million other things to get done lately and haven't gotten to do the things I want to do.  Or I plan to do things and something else comes up instead and stuff keeps getting pushed off!  Winter is creeping up on us though and I will feel like I have all the time in the world!

Zoo Boo

We went to Binder Park Zoo this past Sunday for the Zoo Boo, aside from the last 10 minutes of the day where I became the mom of "That child" (you know the one kicking, swinging, throwing an all out fit from over-tiredness, constipation and just plain toddler-hood, yeah that was mine)  It was a fun time.  A friend of mine from work and her little boy went along with my best friend, her two kids and her mom.  There weren't a whole lot of animals out (its Michigan they don't stay open year round around here, and if they do the animals that are out are very limited).  But, the animals that were out were strangely close for once instead of hiding at the backs in the shadows of their enclosures.  So that was pretty neat, especially the snow leopard who I'm pretty sure was planning out his next child to eat as he stalked from the tree tops above the unknowing trick or treaters.  Addison's costume was a hit as people complimented it all day, yay for home made costumes!
