Halloween Activities

For moving to a city where we didn't know anybody, we sure had a lot of fun this Halloween! Below are all of our fun Fall Festivities:
It all started with a Halloween party at LaCosta Canyon Park, hosted by the Mom's group I joined, LaCosta Moms:

Next, Will helped me decorate Halloween cookies, and he really got into it, he was very precise and even figured out how to outline each cookie with the frosting and he enjoyed a few sprinkles while he was at it too...

Again...he concentrated so much on carving his pumpkin, very precise.

The Henley Jack O'Lanterns:

Next was a Halloween party at Will's preschool, they did a little parade around to different shops. The first pic is Will's teacher, she was a pirate.

I couldn't resist, Molly looked so cute holding on to this chair.
Next, Will's school had a field trip to a local "Pumpkin Station." They have pumpkin's and rides, kind of like a carnival, but really small. Will was soooooooooo excited that he got to ride a school bus by himself, like "big kids do." I couldn't believe my little boy was getting on a school bus without me...he's all growsed up. :-)

Will was watching a mom with a baby....he looks mad, but it was actually very sweet.

Will and Stefan had to wait another time to get on the train...but it was worth it, they got to be the conductors and ring the bell.

I could not believe that Will climbed right on this ride, Rocketships, or Spaceships. Usually he sees rides like this and wants to do it but then when we get up there, he won't go near it. He didn't even hesitate, and had so much fun the whole time.

Next, we got invited to a "Trunk or Treat" by one of our neighbors, who has a boy Will's age. People decorate their cars for Halloween and give out candy from the trunk of their cars, you trick or treat to each car.

No Molly's not walking but every once in awhile, she will walk a little while she holds our hand.

Will and Timmy, "Best Buddies." :-)

Timmy was a karate boy, so he kept doing all these karate moves and Will would copy him, but Will didn't get that the moves were part of the costume...it was pretty funny.

One car gave candy after you golfed in to a "dog house" and over the doghouse was a bone that said what you had to do...Will golfed into "do some hula hooping" so the guy put the hula hoop around him and Will just stared at him, like "what are you doing, where's my candy?!"

My mom and Ken are here this week to celebrate Halloween and my birthday. Every year my mom buys the kids books that are related to their costume, so of course Will got a Toy Story book.

Lady as a Ladybug...I know she looks miserable, but she really didn't mind it. She really looks so cute. :-)
And True Halloween begins, my mom gives out the first trick or treat candy for the kiddo's bags.

Our neighborhood was HOPPING, kids everywhere! Here's Will going up to a house in the middle of a line of kids.
