Halloween 2015

I asked the boys in the beginning of October what they wanted to be for Halloween. Jackson said an astronaut and Camden looked at me like he had no clue what I was talking about. I know being 2 he probably had no clue but I was explaining he can dress up like something... one of his favorite characters, favorite animal, etc. One day we were in PBK and they had costumes so I thought we'd try one on. I put this dragon on him and he was so upset!

Clearly he was not a fan! I got Jackson's astronaut costume and continued to try and think of things he might like. I got this pirate costume, but Jimmy quickly nixed it.

I got a couple others, even got a giraffe costume. (He's obsessed with giraffes!) And he wanted nothing to do with it! I started to give up and thought he was just going to go trick or treating without a costume. At the last second I brought out Jackson's old costume and decided to give it a try. He actually agreed to put it on! So a cowboy it is. And I have to say I loved getting to use this adorable costume again!

We set up in the driveway again with our neighbors and had a fire pit to roast marshmallows over. We saved the trick or treaters from having to walk all the way down our long driveway!

So the costume was a little big but not huge. The helmet however I think was made for an adult. it was huge!

The kids loved waiting at the bottom of the driveway handing out candy. This was early and then Christy and I headed out to trick or treat with the kids while Jimmy and Roman stayed to pass out candy. After we got back the kids stayed up to hand out more candy and got to make smores.

Lake Fun

The boys and I went to the lake for the weekend. Jimmy had some prior obligations that weekend already. The weather was awesome and Jackson and Camden were excited to go swimming!

I chose not to get in so I got to enjoy a few minutes sitting in the chair browsing a magazine while they swam with Papa

Beautiful day!

We went to Crooked Pines Farm in Eatonton to pick some pumpkins.

Donkeys

Piggies

They loved eating the pumpkins. These pigs were literally raised in the homeowner houses. Slept in their beds and walked around the house. Only in the past few months were they moved outside. I could never imagine having pigs living in my house snuggling in bed with us!

Carving our pumpkins. My kids do not like touching the goop. They do not want to get dirty! I had to do all the scooping!
