This weekend was full of Halloweenie fun and adventures for the Wheatley family.

I was so excited this year having two little ones to dress up. About a week before Halloween Emmaline’s obsession for Care Bears reached an all time high when she started to rub her belly and exclaiming that she was “making belly badge”. Apparently she can make “grwumpy clouds, funshines and wainbows”.

On Saturday we were able to go to the Houston Zoo for their annual Zoo Boo! It was a beautiful day outside and the kids were so excited to dress up in their Halloween garb and go trick-or-treating at the zoo. Ok… ok… ok…. Maybe WE were the ones excited to dress the kids up and take them trick-or-treating. Emmaline’s must see list included: the ‘nakes, the bats, and the baby eraphant and we made sure to see every single thing she wanted to. After the drive home and a nap, we were ready for round two of Saturday’s festivities: Trunk-or-Treat! Andy left to help set up the carnival games and I watched the kids and got them fed before we took off. Emmaline was able to play a few rounds of carny games and watch the costume parade before she was able to run amok with the other kiddos going trunk to trunk filling her pumpkin up with all sorts of treats and goodies. It didn’t take long for her to have a bag that was heavier than she was!

On Monday after Andy got home from work, we had our annual Halloween chili dinner and got Emmaline prepped for MORE trick-or-treating. She was so excited that she could fill up her beloved pumpkin bag full of candy again. James was till taking a nap, so Andy and I took turns taking Emmaline around the neighborhood. She loved the decorations people had in their yards and loved to see the ghosts and pumpkins.

 

Here are some photos of the kids in their costumes! Enjoy!
