Happy Halloween!

This was the first year that Khyri kind of understood the concept of Halloween. We didn't go trick or treating, but instead headed out to a few Halloween events and over to friend's houses. Since Halloween was on Monday this year so we got good wear out of the costumes... Friday, Saturday, and Monday! Speaking of costumes... drum roll...

Kielle was a ladybug

and Khyri was The Cat in The Hat!

We went to Daddy's job on Friday afternoon to trick or treat in the cubicles. They decorated the elevator banks - totally awesome! Of course Khyri was more fascinated with the daggone elevators and not the decorations. It was ok.. the was just the start of the Halloween weekend ;-) I guess we had to ramp up.  Khyri refused to keep his hat on his head. So people kept saying he was a dressed up penguin. LOL. I wanted a picture of himso badly in the hat. But what's the saying - good things come to those who wait! and wait I did...with a big fat pouty face. hmph. Kielle on the otherhand was unusually smiley and playful riding around with Daddy (she is such a daddy's girl already!)



On Saturday, we loaded up the kiddos and went to a community service event sponsored by my Sorority chapter. We headed to Fickett Elementary school to participate in a trunk or treat activity for the students. For those that are unfamiliar with Trunk or Treat, its when people decorate the trunks of their cars and children trick or treat in parking lots. We didn't know that our car was gonna be used in the event so we didn't decorate :-( but we will be ready for next year! I've already grabbed some of the sale decorations to use.

Kielle slept the whole time, while Khyri (with his hat!) helped hand out candy to the students


I don't think Khyri knew that he was handing out yummy candy. We don't do candy in our house so he's not really exposed to it. Candy to Khyri is a green grape hahaha. I snapped this picture of him trying to figure out what a 'Smartie" candy was. Thinking back, I don't think he had one piece of candy the whole weekend.


We got some well needed rest on Sunday and then on Monday night we headed out to see some friends. No holiday would be complete without Khyri getting to see Auntie Netta... so of course we headed over to her house ;-)

To commemorate our 2011 Halloween, we made ghost footprints and sent them to relatives. How much fun is that!!?!? crafts annnnddd costumes!


Well Halloween 2011 has come and gone. The costumes are all packed away except for...

Shopping at Publix - clearly a hat is needed!

THE HAT! Khyri is so attached to this hat now. He likes to wear it everywhere, and that's ok by me :0

It's been way too long since I caught up on your blog. Oh my goodness, little Cat in the Hat Khyri made me laugh out loud he was so cute!!!!!!! Seriously - best costume ever!! And of course he won't wear the hat for the pictures, but then insists on wearing to the store....even sleeping in it! That's SO Charlie as well. Except he discovered candy was YUMMY from Daddy and ended up getting a bucketful that he wouldn't part with.... Still regretting that one! I love your ghost craft - it's perfect! Where did you get the idea?!
