halloween fun

i love halloween and baby bird loves dressing up, so this week has been so much fun! we have already participated in lots of halloween activities and its not even halloween yet! monday we drove to morgantown so baby bird could go to wvu's trunk or treat with her best friend! it was cold, the girls were tired and we all were very hungry but they had such a good time and got lots of candy(most of which went into the family store!). how cute are they....

little belle and cinderella!

tuesday we spent the afternoon spooning "pumpkin seeds" into mini pumpkins

we also carved pumpkins, daddy and i did most of the work while baby bird supervised

wednesday morning when we checked the mail baby bird got a suprise package from her aunt in west kentucky. she send her some halloween cookies, a coloring book, a dora book and some other halloween goodies. she was very happy and really liked the dora book!

today we went to the library toddler time halloween party, baby bird was very excited to see all of her friends dressed up. there was raggety ann, a lion, a sock monkey, a ninja pirate vampire, woody from toy story, a lady bug, a fairy, and a few others. miss karen read a story, we made a pumpkin magnet and then had lots of yummy food.

and then the clock struck midnight....

she was about to turn into a pumpkin!

here is some of the yummy food i made for the party, thanks to the ideas i found on pinterest

tonight at our local grocery store they had a costume contest and trick or treat in the store. it was a last minute decision to take baby bird, we didnt know about it until the last minute! we got her dressed again and took her over and im so glad we did... SHE WON!! she was one of the four kids in her age group picked and she won a four wheeler ride on toy! she was pretty excited. i loved that they gave them healthy snacks like apples and orange juice!

we have more activities lined up for this weekend... halloween really is my favorite holiday! its so fun, especially with baby bird around!
