I can’t apologize for blowing up everyone’s Instagram feed this weekend. I just can’t; we had too much fun! Unfollow me if you’re tired of the pictures; I promise I wont be offended. I have decided though, in order for me to get anything posted, I have to forego my perfectionistic tendencies: no more editing of photos and posts with lots of verbiage- instead upload the photos and go with it. I’m still learning how to accept my new normal; have patience with me please.
I think it is true what they say, that when you celebrate the holidays with a child you get a new set of eyes. I am not a fan of Halloween. In fact, The Mr. calls me the Halloween Grinch. Maybe it’s because my eyes are set ahead to Thanksgiving and Christmas or maybe it’s because I just don’t like scary stuff. Whatever the reason, this year I got to celebrate Halloween for what felt like the first time, and with Dutch my excitement was indescribable. I can only imagine what I’m going to be like this year for Christmas. The ideas I have going through my head already keep me giddy!
Last week, Dutch had something festive to wear everyday and every night.
On Halloween, there was a fall carnival at Dutch’s school and he went as a skeleton. He loved looking through all of the treats he got in his goodie bag (rattles, balls, a book, a duck, and a whale).
Mama & daddy had fun playing with him and his glow in-the-dark costume in the garage.We're clearly all still children at heart; we like it that way :-)
For trick-or-treating, Dutch went as a Ninja Turtle.
His costume was complete with a cape and everything!
I dug through a trunk of our old Halloween costumes for some cat accessories. I can assure you the last time I wore these cat ears I definitely wasn’t looking so mom-ish.
We had so much fun at our dear neighbor’s house for a block party. There were literally thousands of children that came by! I am NOT exaggerating! Pounds & pounds of candy were given away until it all ran out. Thanks T&J for hosting!
On Saturday, we still dressed up in costume.

What else do you do when you have more costumes and Halloween is over?!?
We kept the festivities going all weekend of course :-)
