Halloween weekend fun

Halloween weekend was very fun this year! Mostly, for the fact that it was our first weekend back together in our own home in over a month!! Secondly, my in-laws were in town so it was fun to spend the weekend with them!

Friday afternoon we made it back home and by time we did our unpacking and got settled back in our place it was dinner time.  We ordered pizza and then went grocery shopping. When we got back we spent some time hanging out together.

Saturday was a much more eventful day! We woke up in the morning and while everyone was getting ready I made chilli for our ward activity later that night. We then all went to the Wurth Farm and went on a hay ride. It was fun to be outdoors and Connor was in heaven with all the pumpkins, squash and gourds that were used as decorations!

The hayride went through a large field were they had Halloween decorations set up and then it lead us to cows and their babies. Connor was very excited to see them and kept pointing and making sure that his daddy was looking at them.  Next up on the ride was the pumpkin patch! Boy, was it funny watching Connor! He tried to pick up, roll and pull pumpkins that were bigger than him! It was hard taking pictures of him because he was all over the place running from pumpkin to pumpkin!!

After we made a quick Walmart run for candy, we were off to a picnic in the park! Connor was asleep the minute we left the farm and even slept straight through me carrying him in the store and being put back in his car seat! Poor thing must have been worn out! As soon as we got to the park and he noticed the playground he was wide awake and not really in the mood to eat his lunch because he wanted to just go play!

Next, the kids carved a pumpkin and Connor used markers to color his pumpkin. We got him a little baby one because we knew he would want to carry it around!

Our ward trunk or treat was the last activity of the night! We had a chilli cook off, games, a costume parade, and of course the actual trunk or treating. Connor and all of the kids had a lot of fun!

Sunday we went to church and it was nice to be back in our home ward again. The Paducah ward is so very,, very friendly! Even only being here for a couple of months it is wonderful that it already feels like home.  Adam's family had to take off after sacrament to start the long drive back to Ohio.  It was good after church to finally take a Sunday afternoon nap!! That night family time with just the three of us was PERFECT!! After our little munchkin went to sleep, Adam and I finally was able to carve our pumpkin!

Monday as we were cleaning the house, Connor and I were jamming out and dancing around to the Halloween station on Pandora! SO much fun! That kid gets a kick out of watching me dance around the kitchen while I am doing my chores. We weren't planning on taking Connor trick or treating that night, but we found on-line about this cool area to go. They block off the road and alot of the houses go all out with decorations! It was fun.  That night Adam and I enjoyed making butter beer and had caramel apples. We wanted to watch a Halloween movie but the only thing that we could find on netflix was Vampire Diaries, haha which is now our new favorite show!

Alice in Wonderland

Yum! Butter Beer!
