The Hughes Family: Halloween Weekend

Happy Halloween to everyone! We had a pretty neat weekend. Friday we got Katherine all dressed up as her Pumpkin self and went outside to watch the trick or treaters and to give out candy. She was mesmerized by all the other kids. It was very cute. She also managed to figure out how to get a piece of candy of our bowls and to open the packaging...she had chocolate all over EVERYTHING! It was quite entertaining. There was one little guy about her size that came trick or treating in a motorized car/stroller thingy...she was quite taken with the little man. She wanted to give him her half eaten candy and then she wanted to give him a high five...very cute. After about an hour and a half of trick or treaters, Katherine was POOPED! So we headed inside for bed and bath. She was wiped out!

Saturday Daddy headed into work and Katherine and I work little worker bees around the house. We got the house cleaned and straightened, went to the grocery store and baked a pumpkin pie from scratch. We were very proud of our accomplishments by the time Daddy got home. Daddy did manage one surprise of his own. I was in the shower and had Katherine in the bathroom with me and I was just talking and singing to Katherine trying to keep her entertained while I took a super quick shower, so I finished, opened the curtain and said "Boo" to try and scare katherine...yeah...Christopher was standing there holding her and I had NO idea he had even come in. I think I lost about 10 years of my life. Katherine thought the whole thing was HILARIOUS, me on the other hand, was still trying to figure out how to breathe again! One bummer note on Saturday...BOTH of our teams lost close games. :( Not a good day for football.

Sunday we went to church and Sunday school and then headed to Grandma and Grandaddy Corell's for some planning for our business. Katherine of course was super excited to wear her pumpkin outfit again to show Grandma and Grandaddy Corell. She was pretty darn cute! We came home last night and due to the time change she was past ready for bed at 7pm! YIKES! We managed to keep her up until 8:15, so she did sleep until 7:25 this morning. Thank goodness! I was afraid she would get up around 5:30...that would not be a good thing for the Mommy!

Today was pretty crazy as we had a computer upgrade at the shop. Tomorrow looks to be just as crazy as I will be joining the masses waiting in line to vote...with a toddler...hopefully the people in line will have patience! :)

Have a great week!
