Mia's costume is so big she had to lean back in the stroller to fit in it:)

I loved all of the glowing pumpkins

Fall Family Fun!

Friday night we went to Greenfield Village for trick or treating. Last year was the first year we went and we were so impressed we decideed to make it an annual event. 800 pumpkins are hand carved then lined on a mile path that you walk down to trick or treat like they did in the early days. The weather this year was MUCH better than last. (Last year was in the 30s) So we were able to look around more. No two pumpkins were carved the same. Ethan & Mia had fun picking out their favorites. They were supposed to go as pirates but Mia decided at the last minute she didn't want to wear her costume. Instead she wanted to be a cat. We brought her costume out from last year and it still fit so Marie the cat she was. The moon was out and it was a picture perfect fall night. The kids came home with lots of treats, one stand was even giving away beanie babies, and now they can't wait for Halloween to come!

Poor Mia can't move

Mia still can't move but at least she has her costume off (we left her hat on so it looked like she was still wearing the entire thing)

My what a difference 5 days makes in our weather! Sunday it was 90 degrees and today in was in the lower 50s. Tonight we went to Hallowe'en in Greenfield Village. Over 800 hand carved pumpkins lit the way around the village as we went from station to station trick or treating. Because it got down to 40 degrees tonight we had to bundle up the kids. Ethan handled the bundling & the cool weather well. Mia however wasn't impressed with it. In fact she only made it to the end of the parking lot in her costume. The problem was she was so bundled up that she couldn't sit in her stroller. She really did look like the kid from A Christmas Story. Once we got her out of her costume, she seemed to be much more comfortable. We spent about an hour walking around getting lots of goodies and looking at the pumpkins. (They were even giving away beanie babies) Ethan had such a great time he asked when we could go back and do it again!
