Addie decided about a month ago that she wanted to be a butterfly for Halloween. She and I had a fun time finding the pieces to her costume and even doing a little costume creating ourselves! And thanks to Grandma Dayna, Max dressed up as a zebra!
The kids got a lot of use out of their costumes since Halloween turned into a 3-day celebration this year! It
started on Saturday night with our 4th annual Friends’ Halloween Party. Max had a fun time playing
with some “big boy” toys (I think a truck or tractor may be in order for
Christmas!) and Addie had a blast making finger puppets, digging through
pumpkin guts for prizes and playing hide-and-go-seek.

Then on Sunday we went to the Zoo Boo at Como Zoo. One of my coworkers gave us tickets to this great event, and I expect that we will make this an annual outing for our family. Addie had fun running around and looking at all the character boards and costumes while Max just sat back and took it all in. I think the highlight of the evening for the little girl in me, was riding on the carousel! Every time we go there it seems like it isn’t open so we were quick to take a ride when we saw it was up and running.
Finally Halloween arrived! We had our friends, Angela, Nick, Hazel, Debbie, Jake, and
Helene, over for dinner and then headed out as a group for some
trick-or-treating. Addie was so
excited and sprinted from house to house.
She even braved the “scary” house down the street with excitement. It was so much fun watching her run
around the neighborhood with our friends and neighbors with pure
exhilaration. This was definitely
the highlight of the weekend for us as well!
