trick or treat 2012

halloween 2012 was a success! i got the mister costume done just in time and it turned out super cute- but i will NEVER sew fake fur again! ick!!! jackson loved trick or treating and asked at every house if they had a "show" (aka tv). he got tons of candy and we all had a great time- loving our new neighborhood!!!

school halloween party

the school halloween party was really fun! tons of games, prizes, crafts and candy. jackson's real costume wasn't ready- so a last minute costume run was in order. he told us he wanted to be either a "girl witch, hello kitty or spiderman" none of which i could find last minute- so captain america it was! (bought for $7.49 at rite aid. score!)

nana & cap'n come to town

nana & captain came to town and we had a great visit (not enough photos to show for it though!) while the guys worked on the yard, nana took jackie to the park, the pumpkin patch and kept him busy with walks in the neighborhood and halloween crafting. always fun to have the grandparents in town.
