halloween 2013

it was so exciting to think about costumes this year with a new baby in our family.  the big boys have been football players in years past and it's always one of their top choices for costumes.  i'll admit that my idea for their costumes this year did not originate out of my very uncreative brain...i think i probably saw it on pinterest somewehere but knew that this would be perfect.  burrito was a tcu football player (his current favorite college team) and noodle was a texas a&m football player (his current favorite college team) and salsa was the FOOTBALL!!!

we were so excited to continue our halloween tradition of trick or treating with some of our favorite friends!  they chose to be anakin skywalker and an olympic gymnast!  we were quite the combination!

 

salsa was a little bit of a mess that night but the big kids had fun getting lots of candy and then coming back and passing out candy to others as well!
 we also managed to squeeze in our fun halloween traditions before the big day.  burrito and noodle had fun carving and cleaning out the pumpkins this year.  burrito took on the challenge of carving his own but noodle had john carve the face he had first sketched on a piece of paper.  i thought they turned out really cute!

 if you know me, you know my love for charlie brown, especially around the holidays!  i was so excited to share the tradition of watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" with salsa this year.

and i really hoped to make it to a pumpkin patch this year but between school, soccer, rainy weather and having a baby, it just didn't happen.  this was the best picture we could get...outside market street and the pumpkins they had for sale.  salsa was asleep in the stroller but i couldn't take a picture without him!

this is my most favorite time of the year and i'm trying to soak it all in, do all the fun stuff and take care of a baby and keep up with life!
