But not without some fun pre-Halloween and Halloween photos to share!!
So, Friday afternoon, Glen and I decided we'd carve pumpkins. So, on my way home, I stopped by Kroger and all the carving pumpkin's that had been outside the store, were no where to be found. It was raining, so instead of heading inside, I went home. Not too long after that, Glen called Kroger to confirm they had pumpkins. "Yes, they're inside." was the response we got.
So, we hopped in the car and headed to the store. Much to our surprise, there were NO pumpkins (except the super small gourd like pumpkins) to be found. And so the Great Pumpkin Adventure began. Off to Meijer we went. Meijer has everything, right? WRONG! No pumpkins there either. So, we decided we'd go to Peel's - surely they HAD to have pumpkins. On the way, we stopped by VG's, just incase THEY had pumpkins. No Go there either. So FINALLY, after three stops, stop four was fruitful (in the rain and dark), we went to Peels and got our pumpkins. Always something, isn't it?! Note to Self - GET PUMPKINS PRIOR to October 30th!
So, from this -
to this -
Our pumpkins are on the front porch and will be lit again tonight when I get home (we're going to get all we can out of our spooky Halloween creations!)
We also got to celebrate a very special boy's 4th Birthday on Halloween! We Celebrated Colin's Birthday (and of course, went trick or treating) with a little purple dinosaur who can "ROAR" like nobody's business. Glen hung out at Amy & Andy's and passed out candy and shook his head at the less than stellar college football officials calls.
This was my attempt to take a pic of Colin before we left to go trick or treating......Can you say up close and ROAR?!
Here's the Trick or Treat Trio, complete with little purple birthday dinosaur.
Last stop, home to Trick or Treat with Uncle Glen (Colin kept telling Amy and I we should keep trick or treating and he would go home with Uncle Glen).
Aunt Min, Colin & Uncle Glen with the Birthday Boy (Colin was ready for Birthday Cupcakes!!!)
And of course, photos of the birthday boy blowing out his candles!
We can't wait until next weekend when Colin has his BIG birthday party with all his friends & family at the jumpy jumpy place. Guess Glen and I should get working on our Dino-related costumes, huh?
Hope you had a fabulous Halloween and enjoyed the weekend AND that extra hour of sleep we gained with Daylight Saving Time.
Min & Glen
