Honey Bee

In Phase-Two-O-Halloween-Fun, my little Honey Bee & I joined Rob at church for the faux-halloween festivities.

There was lots of candy, fun prizes, crafts, popcorn (score!) and the highlight of the day.... pony rides!! I wish I knew how to include a video - Janie was loving it!

Here are my two most favorite people - Honey Bee Jane & Train Conductor Rob.

Halloween Princess

This morning was Phase-One-O-Halloween-Fun & we hit a cute little downtown area to trick-or-treat at all of the stores.

Halloween Princess was ready to go in her fabulously fancy skirt & t-shirt from Grandma. She practiced saying 'trick-or-treat' all the way there. (And I practiced reminding her to say thank you.)

As we walked down the street, she kept saying "When do I get to say it again? I want to say trick-or-treat again!" Seriously, she doesn't even like most of the candy - she just want to say the magic words & get something fun to put in her bucket. Although at the end of the morning, she discovered that she loves lollipops - especially the ones that turn her tongue blue!

I appreciated the stores that gave away crayons & bubbles & playdough & books. (Really - there was a store giving away used children's books - brilliant!) My favorites were the stores that used the event as a marketing opportunity for all the moms & gave away samples of fun shampoos and skin care products. Woohoo!

Now we're taking a break to come down from the lollipop-induced-sugar-high before we get dressed up in costume #2 & head out to the big faux-halloween event at church.

Seems like the perfect time for mom to raid the pink candy bucket!!

Guess who loves her new Cubbies vest???

At one point during the night, all the kiddos were doing a little move-like-the-animals dance number. After the song, there was a brief moment of quiet.

Janie filled the silence with a loud voice, saying "Great job little Cubbies!"

Admittedly, I'm a little biased. But I thought is was pretty much the cutest thing ever.
