Halloween Weekend 2009

Whew! We had a jammed packed weekend. I'm glad that Monday is here, so I can rest! Friday Jeff took off a tad bit early, and we made jack-o-lantern pizza. Papa Murphy's makes them, and I decided that I could do it for cheaper and healthier. So after Jeff got home, we all headed to the kitchen to make them. We made two, but we probably only needed one. I wasn't for sure how big they would be. Madison had a blast making them, and she ate a WHOLE piece herself. We will definitely be making more in the future.

Here's the final product!

After dinner we went for a short walk, and then we came back and watched The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! I LOVE that cartoon. Madison wasn't too sure about it at first, but then she got into it.

Saturday we went to the Yee-Haw Festival at Kay Granger Elementary, which is the school in our subdivision. She basically ran around, but had fun doing that! Then we were invited to a Halloween party at a neighbor's house. We went up there from about 4:30 until close to 6:00. Madison had fun. She kept getting a little overwhelmed by all the people. She would run inside and just see all these legs and turn around for someone to pick her up. But, they had a dog, so she was in Heaven! After the party, we came home and got ready to go trick-or-treating. We went with our neighbors and the rest of the neighborhood.

Here's our little pumpkin!

Here's a better picture of her whole body...

Here we are with our lit up wagon (which was the hit of the night, everyone LOVED it!!) waiting on the McAdams (our neighbors).

And here our the McAdams and Jeff and Madison trick-or-treating at the first house!

Madison seemed to have a good time. We just went down a few streets and came home. The rest of the neighborhood went on. Madison didn't want to walk or be put in the wagon though, so Jeff ended up carrying her everywhere. I can't wait until next year. She will have a BLAST then. I'm already trying to figure out what she is going to be!

And, yesterday was just a total blur. Long story short, we had all these plans to go to the park, etc., but they went out the window when Jeff broke my phone! In the end, we went to the Sprint store, and they fixed it, but I wasn't too happy yesterday! So, we ended up not getting to go to the park. It's absolutely gorgeous here, and it's supposed to be like this all week. Our play group is headed to the Ft. Worth Zoo on Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to that.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!!
