Halloween 2016

I wasn't sure what Halloween was going to look like this year since we didn't know when Davis would arrive. It ended up being so much fun! Hunter was Daniel the Tiger, Wyatt was a Lion, and Davis was Frankenstein. We visited the library for a haunted house, trick or treated downtown, and went to a Halloween party at Aunt Mames house. 

Hunter's favorite part of the holiday was passing out candy to our trick or treaters. The next morning the first thing he asked me was if he could go pass out candy to the trick or treaters - I had to explain that the holiday was over...womp, womp. I got lots of "why mommy?" "Is it still spooky outside?" I love his little mind at this age.

Pumpkin Patch 2016

It was a hot morning of picking in Carmel Valley! Earthbound Farms has a lot of things to do for kids, other than picking pumpkins. They have a kids garden with herbs, fruits, and veggies. A huge teepee, picnic benches, and a store. The boys loved the kids garden and running around the property. 

I wanted to go early this year in case we can't make it back closer to Halloween due to baby tres and I am glad we did because now we are ready for Halloween early this year - we just need our baby pumpkin to arrive :)

Halloween is so fun when your kid knows what to do! Hunter loved knocking on the doors and picking out (one) piece of candy for his bucket. Menlo Park is an amazing place to trick or treat and we had a blast! We got way too many full sized candy bars (Toberlone?!) and every house went all out with the entertainment. We had dinner with the Taylor's and headed after afterwards with the kids.

It really does get more fun the older they get!

Cal Ave Trick or Treating 2015

Last minute decision turned out to be a fun day downtown. We took the boys down to the Cal Ave Trick or Treating where the city shuts down a street and the businesses are open for trick or treating. It is free and it is a fun way to get the community together. We did this year here (see here) with Hunter when he was 14 months old and it wasn't nearly as busy as it was this year! I could hardly get the stroller through the crowd.

Afterwards we walked a block up to Farmer's Market and got juicing supplies for the week. Happy weekend!
PS: it is impossible to get a good picture of the boys these days! 
They are so wiggly and distracted I had to bribe 
Hunter with candy to look at the camera, hah!

Pumpkin Patch 2015

Tis the season for some pumpkin picking! We took the boys to our favorite Webb Ranch to pick out a pumpkin, play in the petting zoo, and admire the bounce houses (Hunter is still too young). Hunter loved petting the bunnies and feeding the alpacas (one sneezed on me). It was much hotter than last year, but we had a blast.

Halloween 2014

Halloween was fun! 

We went to the McCarthy's again for a Halloween party and some treating around their neighborhood. We weren't sure how Hunter would do with walking up to random houses, but he instantly got it and happily trotted from house to house with his candy bag. He had his first taste of a milky way and the look on his face was priceless! Thank you Kelley and Dave for hosting!
