Halloween

Two posts in one week!  It's a miracle!  The real miracle is that Soph has started napping again- almost daily.  She boycotted naps for a long time and has been having quiet time (AKA destroy her room time) but today she went right to sleep.  I love her to death but it is so wonderful to have some me time.  

We had a great Halloween weekend.  A church on campus had a Fall Fair on Saturday.  The highlight was the free pony rides.  They had crafts, treats, a walk through the forest, and story time. 

I love this picture!

They also had face painting.  Soph got a lady bug since that is what she was going to be for Halloween.

Sunday night we carved a pumpkin.  Soph helped decide what the features looked like.   

Isn't Braden handsome?  You might have noticed he got a haircut since our trip to Victoria.

The finished product, lit up by Braden's phone.  Don't worry- it was in a plastic bag.

 Our ladybugs!  My friend let me borrow the costumes her girls used last year (bless her heart).  I had already decided to have them be ladybugs because Soph has a book about a girl named Lulu who goes by Ladybug Girl when she is being brave.  It's pretty cute and Soph liked the idea of being a ladybug.

The saddest part was that Braden had a class Monday night and missed out on Trick or Treating.  It was pretty fun to go with Soph.  She thought getting candy was pretty awesome.  Here is a video of her carving the pumpkin and her report on Trick or Treating:
