Happy Halloween!

Friday, October 29th - Aubrey got to wear her costume to school. We got a 2nd costume because her Halloween costume is a long dress, and I knew they would be playing outside, and I didn't want it to get ruined before trick-or-treating. So presenting, Minnie Mouse!

Saturday, October 30th - We did trick-or-treating a day early because we attended our friend's annual Halloween party and hayride. I think we were the only ones out in the neighborhood trick-or-treating, so most people seemed surprised to see us, but for the most part they already had their candy and were happy to hand it out. Aubrey was so excited for Halloween, and she definitely got it this year. She talked about it all day, and I had told her we could go trick-or-treating once it was dark, so as soon as the sun went down, she started asking when was it time to go. I don't think I've ever seen her so excited then when we were on the hayride going from house to house. As soon as she would get back to the trailer, she would shout "I got candy!". So, presenting Snow White!

Since Les Miles had the night off, he came, too!

Even Cooper even got to take part in the action this year!

All lit up and ready to go trick-or-treating!

Sunday, October 31st - Since Saturday night was so exhausting, we slept in, went to church late, ate lunch, and took a long nap. Then we decorated a haunted gingerbread house, carved the pumpkin, and Aubrey put on her costume to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. What a fun weekend we had!

She did some tasting while decorating!

Aubrey's scary face!

Ryan came by to show us his costume

Birthday Party and Pumpkin Patch

We had a busy and fun weekend. On Saturday, Aubrey attended the birthday party of her friend, Ashley. It was at a big bouncy place with lots of spacewalks to jump and climb and slide in.

On Sunday, we made a trip to the Pumpkin Patch where we picked up a pumpkin, rode the train, and had a snowball. (It definitely doesn't feel like fall here, though!) Aubrey even got to take a picture with a giant spider!

The weekend was also exciting because we finally told Aubrey that she's going to be a big sister. She was excited for our news and can't wait for her baby brother, Cooper, to arrive, so she can teach him how to do all sorts of things. She even told me she would help change his diapers! (And as a side note, Aubrey is officially out of diapers! Just in time, right?! She's been potty trained and wearing underwear during the day since February, but still wore a diaper a night. Lately, we've been having more and more dry diapers in the morning and last week she went the whole week with dry diapers in the morning. So starting Sunday night, we let her wear her underwear to bed, and we've had two successful nights!)
