We had a really busy and fun Halloween weekend. We actually bought the kids' costumes like two months ago at the Asst. Store for super cheap. I felt ultra-prepared with a Spiderman costume for Alec and a Tinkerbell costume for Emma. However, it would have been a good idea to at least take the costumes out of the bags and look them over before the big weekend, ya know? What actually happened was that I opened the costumes on Friday...a few hours before Aaron came home. The plan was to take the kids to Trick-or-Treat at Walmart ISD (Daddy's work) around 3:30. Well, Emma's costume was fine. Alec's, however, ended up being a size 4/5 that had been placed in the wrong bag (it was supposed to be a 2T). So, while the kids were napping, I spent a good while using my barely adequate sewing skills to take about 4 inches out of the sleeves and pants of his Spidey outfit. By the time Aaron got home, I'd barely finished, the kids were waking up, and I needed a shower. We got to ISD around 4:30. The kids were able to get an ample amount of candy (I didn't care for us to get too much. For one, they don't really eat much candy. They like a little chocolate, and they're crazy for DumDum's...but I just haven't really introduced much candy to them.) We got to show them off to a few people, and luckily, the building was not a sauna like the last time we took them through for Halloween (two years ago).

Saturday was a big day. My NWAMOMC (Mothers of Multiples) Club had our annual Fall Party that day. I had to be there at 9am to setup, and Aaron brought the kids at 10:45. Hooray for dads of twins who can get their kids fed and dressed in their costumes and to the party on time...namely, my husband! Anyways, the kids all had a costume parade, feasted on tacos and Halloween goodies, got to take part in a cupcake walk and lots of little crafts and games. It was lots of fun!

After the party, we came home and had family nap time. Then, around 4:30 we headed out to a park in Rogers because a few of our friends from church were doing a magic show out there. Alec and Emma mostly wanted to just play on the playground...and eat the snacks that were provided.

By Sunday, we were so Halloweened-out, that we decided not to Trick-or-Treat the neighborhood, and just chill at home. The kids helped me hand out candy, and they really enjoyed that. We also painted pumpkins, which they loved.

It was a busy, but fun weekend. Enjoy the pictures!!!
