Halloween 2013!!!

Good thing we have had other days this month where mom has taken pictures of the kids in their costumes because today flew by and we hardly took any.  Oh well!

However, we did get up early and get out the door to go to Cash's school parade at 8 am.  We are not used to this early schedule so we were a bit frazzled (since he is in afternoon kindergarten) but we made it and the kids had fun.  Ivy and Griffin dressed up in their costumes too!  

I was actually a little disappointed in how disorganized the parade part was - it was outside on the blacktop of the school and was so chaotic and disorganized it made it hard to want to wait around and see the whole parade - not to mention the kindergarten classes were VERY LAST!  Hello - not the way to do things!  Anyways, while we waited and waited we took a few cute pics of hedwig and dobby!

Love these two!

Then we finally got to see Cash parade by very quickly in the video below!

 The highlight of the school stuff was Cash's kindergarten performance of the songs they have been working on.  I have loved hearing him singing them as he is around the house the last few weeks, and he had a special part in his class number so that was a lot of fun!  He did great - and it is a must watch to see his, perhaps Hollywood bound, debut;)

Here he is before just getting settled into his spot!

 Got his little ghost on for his part - he was Ghost #3!

 Serious Cashee!

 The whole kindergarten!

 Ready for his part!

After school it was home to hang out til daddy came home and then off to trick-or-treating with friends.  We had a blast and it was nice and warm again, as always, here in sunny California!

I will say that our street is so boring that no one even comes trick-or-treating to us.  I went and bought a HUGE bag at Costco to have to hand out and we had 1 person knock on our door.  Granted we were out trick-or-treating ourselves with the kids before that, but we were home by 7 pm, and 1 person after that - BORING!!!! 

And so I have a LOT of candy left and need to find a good place to store it where I won't be tempted to eat it all - why did I buy the ones with Almond Joys (my favorite?!)  Hopefully I can exercise some self control - esp since I am going off sugar for the month of November!

Happy November ya'll!

I have taken all the Halloween decor down and packed it back up, and we are ready to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Christmas music is currently playing and I am searching online for a white Christmas tree to add to our decor - will use it for a thankful tree this month and then keep it up for Christmas!

Yes I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas and the holiday seasons SOOOO much!
