Happy Halloween!

Today has already been full of festive fun for us. After a 6 mile run with the kids in the double stroller, we headed out for the pumpkin patch dressed in costumes. Carter picked to wear his police officer jacket and hat that we picked up at Goodwill super cheap a while back and I put Elise in her Snow White dress we found at Goodwill for $4! She also got Belle and Cinderella dresses for $5 a piece but they are longer and she trips on them when walking so we save those for when we are just playing at home. They will dress in their firefighter costumes for trick or treating tonight so I wanted to make sure they didn't get dirty during the day. Today was the last day the pumpkin patch was open so the owner told the kids to pick out a small pie pumpkin for free on our way out. Then we stopped by IHOP on our way home for some scary face pancakes for lunch. On Halloween each year IHOP does free scary face pancakes for kids. After going last year Carter always wanted funny face pancakes which meant I would draw faces on his pancake with butter. It was pretty funny. Carter left the candy corn mouth and mini Oreo eyes on his pancake and ate them along with the pancake and he actually ate the entire pancake. Elise ate off both eyes and the mouth and didn't seem to touch the pancake but she had filled up on ghost stick cheese and Halo jack-o-lanterns which I took to the pumpkin patch to share with our friends so I wasn't too surprised. Both kids are sleeping and we are all looking forward to meeting up with friends to trick or treat once Ty gets home. I hope you all are having a fun filled day as well!

Carter would pose but Elsie wouldn't so this was the best picture I got!

The corn box is Elise's favorite!

Carter picked out the biggest pumpkin he could find and carried it all the way to the car.
