Pumpkin Land
We started our Halloween festivities this year by going to Pumpkin Land with a group from our neighborhood. Sydney had a ton of fun being with her friends, going through the corn maze, playing on all sorts of playgrounds, and picking her pumpkin. Zoe did what she always does, and chilled in the stroller without complaining. :)
Costume Party
The next thing we did was the annual costume party with Nick’s family. Everyone did a great job with their costumes, and the food was delicious! Mine and Nick's costumes may be considered “inappropriate” so you may scroll down to the next Halloween function if you’d prefer.
Sydney was “Snow White” and has loved every minute of wearing her costume. I liked the idea of her being a princess because the dress will work for dress-up clothes for the next year or so. Zoe was a “Cow”, and might I just say she was the cutest cow I’ve ever seen. I was an “Outlet” and Nick was the “Plug” ;)
Below is a picture of all the adults at the party,

Halloween Day
- The girls and I met Nick for lunch.
- I attempted to take the girls to see Wall-E at the dollar movie theater (Whole other story on its own. Needless to say, that is not a movie for 2 1/2 year olds... or me. I wasted $2.50).
- Sydney and Zoe went Trick-or-Treating at Nicks work. They scored big time here.
- That evening we went Trick-or-Treating in the rain for about 20 minutes . Sydney had fun and wanted to knock on more doors, but she had more than enough candy.
- And last... we went to a tasty Fondue party at our friends. The food was a wonderful way to end the day.
