Forget-me-not Friday on Sunday
This is the wallpaper in my bathroom...
I share this with you because...
As I was taking a shower Friday, my little friend Oliver, who follows me everywhere was standing in the bathroom chattering, just as he always does. He was asking himself questions AND answering himself over and over like this---
Horsey scare me? Noooooooo
Doggie scare me? Noooooooo
"Squir" (squirrel) scare me? Noooooooo
So I joined in with his answers, having no clue where he's going with this.
"Lion King" scare me? Noooooooo
Tiger (it's a cheetah) scare me? Noooooooo
I continue playing along.
Birdie (it's a peacock) scare me? Noooooooo
Ducks (they're geese) scare me? Noooooooo
Wondering when this will end and why he's naming all these animals and the lion king, I poked my head out of the shower and saw him staring at the wallpaper and pointing out the animals. I just sat back and listened to him re-name several until he said---
Monkey scare me? (Long pause) Yeeeeeeeeeesssssss!
I guess we won't be potty training in that bathroom!
Love him! Could truly eat him with a spoon!!!!

Happy Halloween in The Acres
Happy Halloween from the Bakers!!!
Papa Smurf and Smurfette
Little Mummies
Monday morning I "liked" a friend's FB status who said it best...Halloween seems to have been going on for days! I loooove Halloween, but we have truly been celebrating since Friday! We went to the annual Pine Island Carnival that Shan's parents take us to every year. It was FREEZING this year, and sprinkling rain. But we still made the best of it. I totally forgot my camera so I only snapped a few pics from my iphone.
Mummies in the Mist!
Fun with Cousins...Madeline-The Sweet Fairy and Kirstin-Progressive's Flo
Cotton Candy!!!
Sam and Kirstin getting ready to ride!
Did I really put my 9 year old on that ride!!!!
The boys got their cotton candy, popcorn, candy, etc. and rode several rides and went on the haunted hayride that they have a love-hate relationship with. It's a wonderful Halloween tradition that we look forward to every year and even with the misty rain and cold night we still had our usual great time!
Saturday was low key but Halloween-y, as the boys attended a party with some buddies at the Kvam's house. I sent Shannon with them, so of course I didn't get any pics...;-)! I got the house and porch all ready for Sunday with final spooky touches and mended their costumes from the wear and tear on Friday night. We made some Halloween cupcakes and all huddled up on the chilly night and watched {most of} the Carolina game together.
Sunday, before church I whipped up a fantastic batch of Pumpkin Waffles with Black Cinnamon Syrup. Yum! Such a nice fall treat and a great start to a wonderful day.
After church, I spent the day getting ready for our 1st EVER FAN Halloween Parade that my mom and I organized. You can read about it here.
I made a big ol pot of chili and corn muffins for us to have after the parade. It was so chilly out and it hit the spot!
With the great weather and all the Halloween festivities and traditions, it was a perfect fall weekend!

Monday was as busy as ever, as I went on Fu's class field trip, finished our Smurf costumes, and got the boys all ready for the neighborhood party and trick-or-treating.
Here's Halloween night in photos.
