Halloween has come and gone and it was every bit as amazing I had hoped. Kynley really got into the halloween spirit. It's so much fun to get to see her enjoying new things. The lead up to halloween was great, every night she read a book about pumpkins, she loved the halloween store and all of the spiders and monsters everywhere. She literally talked about something halloween all day every day! Kyler was really only into for the candy ;)
We did a few fun things in the week leading up to halloween so the girls got to dress up. Kynley loves getting to put on a new costume every day, Kyler, not so much. I have planned out what we were going to be this year for halloween since I saw the idea last year. It gave me a long time to get Kynley excited about being a witch! And by the time halloween rolled around she was soon excited. "Mummy, me witch? You witch? Kyky witch? Daddy Witch?" We were supper lucky that both of my sisters who live away came home for halloween to watch my two crazies trick or treat! Just in case you don't recognize our costumes, we went as the witch from the movie Hocus Pocus and Tex was the Zombie, Billy Butcherson!
Naturally the day of halloween we put her down for her afternoon nap and when she woke up she was GRUMPY!!!! Like didn't want to wear her costume, all she wanted was "lay Papa's bed watch bubble guppies!!!!" After lots of bribing from Dad we eventually got her dressed and out the door. Seattle was nice enough to initiate us into our first halloween here with constant rain. It literally rained the whole time we trick or treated. Kynley kept yelling "ONE MORE HOUSE!" which in her words means 20 more houses, and she jumped in every puddle she could find. Poor Kyky was not so excited about it all. Dad had to carry her the whole way while she ran a low grade fever from teething (don't worry we kept her dry and warm).
We ended the night by putting the girls to bed and then heading out to Seattle with my sisters for some grown up fun (I'm too old for this kinda thing and really paid for it the next day). All in all it was a great Holiday! Kynley is still having a hard time understanding that halloween is over and that its time to get excited about a new thing. Last night she woke up at 3:45am and said to me
"Mummy we go to halloween Party?
Me "No bug halloween is over but its time to go to sleep"
"Mummy there ghosts at halloween party?"
"No Halloween is over, no more ghosts"
"Otay......Mummy there a ghost behind my bed!"
UMMMM WHAT?! It freaked me out a little but I just tucked her back in and hoped she fell back asleep, even thought I couldn't!
Last thing...the other night I was putting her to bed and i felt something crawling on my foot. I looked down and there was a spider on me. Naturally I freaked the f*@# out and started screaming. It scared the crap out of her, so I tried to calm her by saying "Don't worry a spider just tickled my foot and I was laughing" LIE Now out of no where she will ask me or tell people "Mummy a pider tickle yo poot?" (a spider tickle your foot) It's kinda adorable.
Oh yea, we finally have a home ;) It's only temporary while we figure out where we will buy and settle, but at least its a home for the next year! 5 mins away from my parents (they are so excited) and a perfect space for us. Huge guest room for any Aussies who want to come and visit ;) More on this later.
Happy November everyone! 51 days until christmas...but who's counting!
