I took a while to get it together. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's discuss Halloween weekend. On Saturday morning, we met Kelly, Dusty and Liam at Drew, Dani, and Diana's house to celebrate our annual Halloween get-together. We carpooled over to Stone Mountain to enjoy the pumpkin festival and get pictures of the kiddos in costume amongst pumpkins. So here are a few pictures from that venture:
After Stone Mountain, we went back to Drew and Dani's to eat lunch as a group. We all thoroughly enjoyed the white chicken chili, salad, and brownies. Unfortunately, we had to leave as soon as we were done eating, but Ed and I are eagerly awaiting the next time all of us are able to get together again.
On Sunday afternoon, Ed and I took Avery over to her friend Noah's house, where the babies had a Halloween playdate equipped with a table full of perfectly-themed goodies. Of course, she was first and foremost interested in playing in Noah's jumparoo (she spends most of her playdate time at his house in that, it seems).
At most of the playdates we attended in the first half of the year, we'd line the babies up on a couch and take a snapshot. Unfortunately, they're all on the go now, and corralling toddlers is nearly the equivalent to herding cats... so we were forced to stick them in a hallway in an attempt to get a group shot. Bad idea...
Immediately after the babies' playdate, we drove up to Alpharetta to spend Halloween evening with Grandma and Grandpa Tallant and Auntie Melissa. Avery had a blast trick-or-treating with her Auntie, and she even said "Trick-or-Treat" at most of the houses. She also had a habit of walking into people's houses and going back into bowls for more and more candy. (Truth be told, it was all really cute, even apologizing to people when she bowled past them into their houses.)
This is Avery right before her hayride with Melissa. She doesn't look so sure about it...
Mimi and Pop gave Avery this Elmo basket to use on Halloween, and it's one of her favorite things right now.
Avery and her Grandma, pausing for a picture (by the way, she insisted on this package of Mentos - it was actually the third candy piece to come out of one lady's bowl [we didn't let her eat any, BTW]):
This is the piece of candy Avery chose out of her basket to eat. (Don't worry, Mom, we watched her like a hawk and snuck it away as soon as she was thoroughly distracted by something else.)
Not finished yet...
A momentary pause before deciding where to go next (you can tell she was tired from all the fun; we left not too much later) -
