Happy Halloween!

We had a Faboolous weekend! The best one we've had all fall. It was action packed and the kids are still catching up on the sleep they lost. My mom's school, Beaches Chapel, had their fall festival Friday night. Isla and Leo enjoyed all the activities they had for little ones. We started the night off with hotdogs, snowcones, chips and a brownie. (oh and this was Isla's Halloween outfit so she had to wear it to any and all Halloween festivities)

Then it was over to the pony rides....Isla was a little reluctant at first because these were big ponies but then she got over it and climbed into the saddle like a real cowgirl.

Leo kept an eye out on her and practiced taking a few steps in the grass while she went around in circles.

The view was better up on mom's shoulders though...

Then it was over to the blow up slide where Isla must have slid down at least 10 times.

As the sun started to set, so did our little Leo. So we ventured inside to the cake walk, face painting station and more bouncy houses. There were 20 people playing the cake walk at a time and they only picked two winners each round. When it was Isla and Gigi's turn they stopped on number 20 and guess whose number was pulled? That's right...we walked away with some yummy jelly bean topped cupcakes picked by the little winner herself.


Saturday was pumpkin carving day. We carved a little witch pumpkin for Isla by her request, a pirate pumpkin for mommy and a big "Scream" face on Daddy's pumpkin. Leo's was too tiny to carve.
Then we just relaxed in the afternoon and messed around until we saw the Gators take a little bite of some bulldog tail.

Then came Halloween night; the moment Isla was waiting for all weekend. After a dinner of mac and cheese, blueberries, and cucumbers it was time to load up with snickers, nerds, and laffy taffy. Isla dressed up as The Little Mermaid, Ariel and Leo was her sidekick, Sebastian the lobster. Then we headed over to Coach and Gigi's neighborhood for the main event.

There couldn't be any cuter under the sea creatures...
It really was a fabulous night. And now we are ready for Thanksgiving and all the fun that the month of November will bring. I'm planning on taking Isla with me to buy a lotto ticket soon. I'm hoping her cake walk luck will win me some Christmas money. :)
