Halloween 2012

Halloween this past year was a blast!  Both boys were really into it and I had so much fun making their costumes.  Brody was Mario and Ryker was Luigi.  They still love wearing the hats around and they love to pretend their shooting fire or ice at Bowser.  Sometimes I get to be Princess Peach and other time I get to be Bowser.  I love playing with them!

We also had a really fun time going to the pumpkin patch.  Brody was having a blast and we finally had to tell him we had plenty of pumpkins and that we didn't need anymore.  "But, just one more," he kept telling us.  I was happy to see him having so much fun.  The highlight for me was when I accidentally stepped in a rotten pumpkin and got the guts got all over my shoe.  Luckily I was able to clean it off, but it was pretty gross.  Ryker also had lots of fun picking out a pumpkin.  They were running around the patch and jumping and giggling the whole time.

On Halloween night, we went trick-or-treating with the cousins who also live in Daybreak.  Brody was more confident than last year and wasn't afraid to go up to the doors all by himself...even without his cousins.  He scored tons of candy!  Ryker went to a few houses, but then he and Elle got to have a stroller ride the rest of the night.  Lots of people come to Daybreak to go trick-or-treating.  We got to see lots of cool costumes.  There was a pair of girls dressed up as princesses riding actual ponies!  At one point in the night the parents had the ponies in an area of grass to take a break.  It was next to a haunted house someone had for the kids who came to their house.  There was a noise from it that spooked one of the ponies and it took off.  We were all afraid he was going to trample a bunch of kids or get hit by a car.  I don't know how it ended, but the owner had to chase after it.  I hope it turned out okay.  We sure had a fun Halloween and I can't wait for next year!
