Halloween Fun!

This Halloween weekend was pretty low key on the Halloween festivities.  Mark did a 10 hour bike race on saturday and came in 3rd place whoo hoo!  Ava and I did a little shopping and sewing that day.  On Sunday we did make a quick stop to the local Pumpkin patch.  Ava just loves going there!  We did the train ride and visited with the animals.  When we first got there the animals were hungary and making lots of noise.  Ava didn't like that too much.  The second time around after they had been fed they were quiet and she had a much better time.

 What happened?

 Ava loved doing the scary faces!

Today was Ava's class Halloween party and my friend Erin and I signed up to do the snack. I did spooky popcorn hands and she did spider cupcakes.

The kids enjoyed snack and exchanging their treats with one another.  Ava brought home so much candy I was wondering if we should even trick - o- treat.  We did and Ava had a blast.  I thought she would only want to go to a few houses but we went all the way around the block.  Many of the houses were decorated and that didn't stop Ava from approaching for candy like it did last year.  There was one house however that answered the door in a scary costume.  Ava covered her ears and would not get close.  Not even for candy!

 Excited about all of her treats from school!

 Visiting with neighbors and friends.  Jackson makes a cute pumpkin!

 Many houses left buckets of candy out.  Ava was always polite and just took one.

Once back at the house Ava had just as much fun handing out to the children who came by.  Since our house is off to itself in the neighborhood, we generally don't get as many who stop.  All in all it was a great day.  Happy Halloween All!!!
