Spooky Dinner, Pumpkins, and Beach Sunsets


We had a great Halloween filled weekend. The boys had some fun at a little festival they had going on in our neighborhood.
Brayden, for some reason, told his whole kindergarten class that he was having a halloween party this year at his house.  Ya, he forgot to mention that to me before telling them...kids are so funny! Not really in my plans being soo pregnant, but we compromised and had a little family one. We had a spooky dinner with mummy hot dogs, bones and blood breadsticks, pumpkin applesauce (just dyed orange with food coloring), and frankenstein pudding. Not very fancy or filling, but the kids really liked it. I take no credit for these ideas...all from pintrest, gotta love it!
The boys made skeletons out of Q-tips for a craft. Tyler's is the top one and Brayden did the bottom one.
We carved our pumpkins for the year
Pumpkin guts...love Brayden's face in this one
Silly Brayden scooped his out one seed at a time...Guy eventually helped him out so we could finally start carving!
The boys had fun drawing on them first with markers
Here they are all done! We made a baby one for the new baby coming soon :)
And we decided to end our weekend by heading to the beach on Sunday night to watch the sunset. It was gorgeous, like always.  Super windy by the ocean so Tyler wouldn't get out from under the towel on my lap, but Brayden had fun running around with Guy.  We don't really get the changing colors of fall leaves here, but at least we get to see the colors in the sky, right? :) The perfect weather time of year in Florida is finally beginning and I love it!
And I figured I better post a picture from the weekend to prove I actually am pregnant and about to pop. I felt really dorky posing by myself so I made the kids join me. Hopefully this baby will be here soon (3 cm and 75% at 38 weeks, so I'm hoping!) But I want a November baby for the birthday since it's 11/11 this year...wouldn't 11/11/11 be such a cool birthday? Past my due date, but I could settle for the 1st. Just not Halloween please!!! :)

Hey Allison!
So funny about "Just not Halloween," That's great!!! At least Brayden will have a party every year on Halloween to tell his friends about. Even if it's not really for him. ;)
Get some pictures up of Drew! (That's his name, right? I've heard a few.)
MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH! Take care of yourself!!!
xo,
Missy
