This year we did our typical Halloween activities! The Wednesday before Halloween we went to Trunk-or-Treat at my moms church. On actual Halloween we went to the Bergman's. We ate Lauren's amazing chili and cornbread then went trick-or-treating around Riverbed (our old neighborhood). It.was.slammed. There was so many kids out but it was fine. At about the 7th or 8th house, Lyla completely missed a concrete step and fell face first. Her nose was bleeding and she was scared the rest of the time to go up any steps. And Gage. Well let's just say he barely had any candy left when we made it back home. The boy is o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d with candy.
Lyla was Minnie and Gage was Captain American AND Michelangelo (Ninja Turtle). I let them both choose their costumes this year, a big deal for me :) I am not one to spend a lot of money on a costume so it worked out (thanks Amazon). My sweet aunt also knew how much Gage loves super heroes. So she took it upon herself to buy all the materials to make Gage a Captain America costume and he LOVED it. She spent a lot of time on it and it was VERY detailed, from the mask to the knee pads to the gloves. Thank you Aunt Lisa, you are the best!
We also did our annual pumpkin carving day! This year we did it at the farm and as always, there was competition on who had the better pumpkin, I typically win. Seriously. No but the girls did well and the parents pretty much did the carving for the little ones.

Little Minnie.
Turtles in a half shell....turtle power.
So on this particular morning Gage was allowed to wear his costume to daycare. He woke up at 5am....yes 5am WITH his costume on, ready to go. Just to show you how much he loved it :)
