As most of you know, Halloween is kind of our thing. We plan our costumes almost a year in advance, and spend months perfecting them. Seriously, we go crazy (see past Halloween blog posts). This year was obviously a little different, with Hudson joining us! This was the first year we didn't have some sort of adult celebration or festivity to attend, but we had fun nonetheless! We started by carving pumpkins last week. They turned out great! Then Saturday, Brixon had his cousin Amber's birthday party, which was Halloween-themed, so we got to wear our costumes! My mom helped me a ton this year with Brixon's (he wanted to be a pirate. A knife through his unique and creative costume-loving mother's heart), and I managed to pull something together at the last minute (and it cost me $8!). Monday morning, Joyful Noise had their annual Character Parade. Each teacher picks a story book, and then the class makes their costumes. This year, they were all characters from 'Little Bo Peep,' and it was way too cute! Then finally it was time to Trick-or-Treat! We headed to Downtown Punta Gorda, where we started with a Halloween Party at our friends Julie and Ryan's house. We braved the insanely busy streets for about an hour-and-a-half before my little pirate sighed 'I'm tired' from the safety of grandpa's shoulders :) Can't wait 'til next year!
