Halloween 2014...To Infinity and Beyond!!!

Halloween this year was a success!  Mama and Papa came to help us celebrate and we were busy preparing for Halloween since the minute they got here.  On Wednesday, we went to eat dinner at Phil's Ice House.  After dinner we went to the Halloween House in Round Rock.  It is a residential house, but they go all out for Halloween with lights and music.  Pearce LOVED this!  We also got to go inside and see how they have it decorated inside.  We just saw the front rooms of the house, but every single room in the house is decorated...so cool!  Thursday, we went to Sweet Berry Farm and had the best time there.  After Pearce's nap, Mama and Pearce baked spooky cupcakes.  Pearce loved sprinkling the candy bones on top, but loved eating them even more!  Then, Papa carved our pumpkin that we got at Sweet Berry Farm.  It was soooo funny watching him carve the pumpkin.  Papa didn't want to use the pumpkin saw I had....he wanted a "pumpkin knife"...whatever that is :)  Then he was giving constructive criticism on where I should draw the eyes, nose, and mouth.  Can't put the eyes too close to the top, or else the top won't be supported....can't put the nose too close to the eyes, or else the nose won't be supported.  And oh my goodness.....when I drew the mouth with all the teeth, Mama and Papa almost lost it because it was going to be impossible to saw all those teeth!  The video of the whole thing is hilarious!  Our pumpkin turned out perfect, though...even with all those teeth :)  On Halloween, Chris made his famous chili, I made mummy dogs, and we were ready to get our trick-or-treating on!  Mama had the most perfect witch hat.  Ashley made my Jessie costume and I just loved it.  Pearce looked so cute as Buzz Lightyear.  He could not wait to go trick-or-treating.  We took a few pictures and then off we went in the wagon.  He was not shy at all about going up to houses.  We started around 6:30 and I really have no idea how many houses we went to.  There's one really spooky house on our street where the guy goes all out for Halloween.  The theme this year was a circus theme with scary clowns.  Pearce loved going to his house to see all the decorations before Halloween.  On Halloween night, we made our way down there and he got scared.  He let me hold him to take him up to the door to get his candy :)  By the time we got home, his bucket was full!  I spread out a blanket on the floor and told him he could eat whatever he wanted.  Pearce dumped his candy out and had the best time.  He actually didn't eat as much as I thought he would.  We put him to bed around 9:30 and but he talked and talked until about 11:00!  Oh, that sugar high!  We had such a fun Halloween this year.  I just loved seeing so many kids out all dressed up and having the best time!  Thank you Mama and Papa for celebrating with us!
