Sweets, Pumpkins, Friends

Sunday night we decided to support the new event

"Trick or Treat for an Anthem Sweet"

that a bunch of the local businesses were hosting.

Holly & the kids came up.

Near the end of course all of the kids' legs were broken and didn't work.

I was sick of the whining (by my sweet son)

and grabbed a good ole grocery cart and loaded em up for the rest of the time.

White Trash Trick or Treating at its finest!

(and because I'm an awesome friend, Holly got to pose with them! lol)

(and because I'm an awesome mom, Anden was in the corner in timeout for knocking Taylee down)

Finally we loaded up in the car and headed back home!

 Usually every year we carve pumpkins together.

This year we simplified it.

Painting pumpkins it is!
(don't mind the underwear girls! just trying to salvage their costumes)

 

Oh and before the night's activities began,

I decided I should actually be domestic and whip up some homemade Halloween Soup!

(chicken noodle soup with adorable halloweeen shaped pasta)

Let's just say it was a SMASHING HIT!

Or maybe just SMASHED

Or maybe only HIT the bottom of the garbage can.

Um this is what happens when you're juggling too many things

and forget to turn the crock pot down

BEFORE you go out trick or treating.

Soggy noodles anyone?

(for my ounce of pride, it still tasted phenom IF you didn't eat the noodles!)

And this is why I stick to the crafty side of things.
