 "Happy Halloween!"

 

Halloween, AKA, my least favorite day of the year!

Those who know me, know I don't care for Halloween. I never have cared for the day. Even when I was a kid I didn't care for the day.

As a child my brother and I never were the best at Halloween. We weren't allowed to go to random houses Trick-or-Treating, so that left very few people we could go to that were in our actual neighborhood. Also my brother and I weren't that great in our Halloween costume choices. We never knew what we wanted to be until the day of Halloween. We didn't buy costumes so we had to be creative in what we came up with. Side note: We aren't that creative of kids!

So you can see from my past why Halloween is not my favorite day of the year. I don't like the idea of begging for candy and the need to dress up for it. If you want candy I will just go buy it. I'm also not a big candy eater due to my loathing of Halloween. Plus note!

This year Wyatt chose his costume and we went all out and bought it at Wal-Mart. He chose Bumblebee the Transformer. He loves this Transformer and talks about him all of the time. Anytime he sees a yellow car he says it's Bumblebee.

We are planning on hitting the Downtown trick-or-treat. All of the shop owners on Main street sit outside and pass out candy to the parade of dressed up kids. This is manageable and very doable for me because we live only two blocks away and don't have to drive and Wyatt hates people who are dressed up in giant costumes so we have to avoid about half of the parade because of this! Yeah!!

Okay my rant is over. Know you know my hating of Halloween.

P.S. don't come to my house because my porch light won't be on!

Halloween, Out!






Do you hate Halloween? Crappy costumes as a child? Have a child afraid of big costumed people?

Happy Halloween!

Aggieville Trick-or-Treat

Wyatt as Buzz Light Year

Adrian was a Cowgirl

A smile while waiting for our food! :)

Kimberly, Adrian, Wyatt, and I got all dressed up and headed to Aggieville today to go Trick-or-Treating and then watch the Homecoming parade. Wyatt wasn't thrilled to go and cried almost the whole time but perked up of course when it was time to go. Then he acted like he had been having the time of his life and didn't want to leave. Wyatt and I headed  to Panera afterwards to warm up and get some food in our tummies. It was a great afternoon with my boy!

P is for Pumpkin Patch and Picnic

Today Wyatt's class went to the Pumpkin Patch and had a picnic lunch! Can you guess what letter they are working on? P! I had to pack him a picnic lunch and me being the good Momma I am went to the grocery story and bought him a Lunchable. I even sprang for the hoagie sandwich Lunchable! We packed it into his little bag from Subway, who knew those would actually come in handy some day, and away he went. He was super excited and couldn't wait to pick out his pumpkin. We had to pay $6.00 for this trip so Mike and I told him to pick the biggest pumpkin he saw! Last year when he went he came back with a very small pumpkin but it was half the price then too. Everyone was pleased with the pumpkin selection and we will be decorating it very soon!

Happy Halloween-2011

Well this year was our "first" real Halloween that was celebrated. His first year he was just a baby and I think it's ridiculous when people walk around with infants, who clearly can't eat candy, dressed up for the event. (Sorry I know I'll get some flack for it but I just don't like it.) Last year, Wyatt was sick and running a fever during Halloween and we didn't go. This year was much different!
We dressed Wyatt up in his costume from last year and headed downtown for trick-or-treating. All the businesses stand outside their doors and give out candy, flyers, coupons, etc. to passerbys. Wyatt was very intrigued by all the people dressed up and spent a lot of time just staring at them. We often had to pick him up and carry him because we were holding up the giant line of people behind us. We made it about four block before Wyatt decided he was done and we headed home for the night. I can say it was a successful night except when we saw a life-sized Clifford and he freaked out and wouldn't look at him or go near him. But once we crossed the street was all smiles telling Mike and I over and over again how he say Clifford!
Wyatt even attended Boo at the Zoo in Topeka with Poppa Joe, Grandma Audry, and Adrian. They had a blast and got my favorite Halloween treat of the holiday: two coupons to Chik-Fil-A. Score!!
Next year we will have to pick out a new costume and I can only imagine what he will tell me then.

Halloween 2011

Our Pirate Pumpkin

Playing with vampire teeth he got at school. Scary!!

Reuse

Last year we got Wyatt an adorable monkey costume from Old Navy and we were so excited to actually take him trick-or-treating. Well he came down with a 100+ fever so we never went. But this year Wyatt is super excited to go trick-or-treating. I asked him what he wanted to be and he told me a school bus! Well I'm not that creative so I kept asking him and he finally said something else besides school bus. This time he said monkey. Well guess what we still have in the closet from last year?! That's right...the monkey costume. So we tried it on last weekend and it still fits, barely but still fits. This for sure will be the last year he can wear it. In fact, I hope he doesn't grow much between now and then because it will be too small. Hopefully I can get him into the costume again and a picture taken before Halloween.
