Halloween 2012

November 1, 2012 by Sarah

Halloween really did creep up on me this year!  With limited sleep and still getting adjusted to life with a newborn, I figured it would!

We didn’t do much during the day today.  I was just glad to get a shower and get dressed – ha!  I had planned to dress Savannah in her cute Halloween shirt in the morning, only to discover it was in the dirty clothes hamper!  Oooooppppss!  I made sure to wash and dry it during her nap time, so she could wear it for a couple of hours and I could get a few pictures.  It’s all about the pictures, right?!!

Since Brady didn’t have an actual costume for the day, I put him in his special Halloween outfit.  He was sleepy during the photo sessions, so we didn’t get too many of our little guy.  I can’t wait to compare these with a year from now when he’ll be 1 year old (not that I’m trying to rush things)!

After Kev got home, we got Savannah dressed in her costume and took a few more pictures before heading out to my grandmother’s neighborhood for a little trick-or-treating.  For some reason, she really wanted to wear those boots!

I was hoping to take Brady out in my grandmother’s neighborhood so we could all trick-or-treat together, but he decided he needed to eat right as they left.  It worked out fine though and Kevin took Savannah to about 6 houses.  Kev said that she didn’t say “trick or treat” but did sign “thank you” at each door. 

After we left my grandmother’s neighborhood, we stopped off at church where the youth group was having a FALLowship night.  We haven’t been back to church since Brady was born, so it was so nice to see everyone and see all the students’ costumes!  I think Savannah enjoyed it too! 

Overall, we had a really nice evening.  We tend to keep Halloween pretty low key and just enjoy having an excuse to dress up in cute costumes, eat some candy, and visit with friends and/or family!  If you choose to participate in the holiday, I hope you had a wonderful night!   

And in case you need a little chuckle, here is a little video of Kev trying to teach Savannah how to say “trick or treat.”  For some reason, he thought he would use a cookie in place of candy.  Yes, we are dorks!  πŸ™‚

    I love her little dance in the video…it is like she is saying come on I am doing my best moves here and you wont give me a cookie!! πŸ™‚ Karlena would say something but it was hard to understand…we went around our neighborhood with her and then I took the boys out for a little longer (too much walking for dad – that foot is still healing!) πŸ™‚ Just wait until next year and Brady will be walking likely and Savannah will be showing him how it's done! πŸ™‚
