Halloween

Fall is one of my favorite times of year, so I was eager to take a trip to the pumpkin patch. This year, we tried a new place in Flower Mound. The patch included bounce houses, wagon rides, rows and rows of pumpkins, and an area filled with wood cut-outs and props for picture taking.

The next weekend, the boys and I waited in the rain with hundreds of frisco residents for the Frisco Fire Safety Town Halloween Spooktacular!!! After an hour and a half line, we were able to trick or treat in the miniature town and the boys were thrilled with their bags of candy! Next year, we will definately wait to come towards the end of the night to avoid the long lines...

The following week, we attended two Halloween parties. One party was a homeschool crafts/cupcakes at the park, and the other was a backyard parade/games/treats with our Little Elm playgoup.

A couple nights before Halloween, we took the boys to the Fall Festival at Stonebriar Church. It was pretty crowded last year, but this year was even busier! We only caught the last hour of the bounce houses and games, but Eli was still able to win plenty of candy!

After all those activities, I was pooped! Our church was holding a trunk or treat on Halloween night, but I opted for a quiet evening. Instead we took the boys around our neighborhood for some good old fashioned trick or treating. Eli was so excited to ring doorbells, that we constantly had to remind him to slow down and wait for his brother! Again, both boys came home with full bags of candy, which we are all enjoying :)
