Halloween

 Last Halloween Lexie was only a month old so I didn't get too excited about this holiday, but now that she's a little bit older it is so much more fun to do things with her. (Still too young to appreciate trick or treating.... but that is good on my part for the sake of being healthy!) I am a big procrastinator and didn't want to spend hours making a costume for her so the week of our ward halloween party I checked out the Halloween costume stores and found THE cutest garden gnome costume and was set on her being that... except for it was $25 and I couldn't justify buying it. Well it all worked out in the end because the mom that I nanny for had the EXACT garden gnome costume and let me borrow it! It was so dang cute. She also let me borrow her princess Leia costume that was SO funny but she wasn't digging the wig... It's tradition to go over to my moms and have pizza with all the cousins and then we all go trick or treating together. We let Lexie go down one street of houses but after that she was more interested in watching all the kids and just walking around then going and knocking on doors.

 Of course I had to have a Halloween party with my preschool classes and it was so fun to see them all dressed up. I dressed up as a bunny rabbit (super last minute...) and we played fun games and had too many treats.
