halloweenin' it up

the weekend before halloween,

cam & hazel went to boo at the zoo.

hazel did not want to wear her costume,

she wanted to paint her face like

"a scary monster"

so cam let her paint her own face.

this is the text pic i get while at work :)

 then sunday the kids were able to dress up

for sunday school and play carnival games.

we got hazel in her secondary costume 

(from thrift store for $2)

 then on actual halloween

hazel had been saying over and over she wanted to be a

"shark, real scary"

so i procured a shark costume from pottery barn kids (from tabitha)

and made one for me and cam

she didn't want to wear it, but it was cold as balls

so i think that's the only reason she kept it on.

-

after the first house, she was like

"go get more candy?"

like she couldn't believe it...

and man, she loved it!

she kept the shark head on til the last couple houses

i call it a success!

rock creek farm - pumpkin patch

hazel and i headed out one october day to go to the pumpkin patch.

we had originally planned to go with axel,

but it was soooo rainy and cold.

it was pretty chilly in the morning, but it warmed up.

-

we drove to longmont and got some saws, and started picking.

 after we picked some pumpkins,

we headed to the "play area"

it had inflatable toys (like a slide and a jump house)

and farm animals

and wooden cutouts for pictures

and a tractor to sit on

 hazel climbed up this steep thing all by herself and slid down like a boss!

 then we had the obligatory hay bale pic

gosh this girl is cute and fun!
