HALLOWEEN!!!

This last week has been so busy with halloween and dressing up, pumpkins, birthday parties, the works. I feel a litte relieved that I don't have to put the girls in their costumes any more. I felt like day after day I had to paint faces, put stockings on, make sure hair was perfect...etc. But on the other hand the girls have had such a blast celebrating a holiday. I swear every year gets more fun because as they get older they look forward to the festivities.

Last Wednesday Khaliah had her first birthday party she was invited to. It was for her friend from school named Ellie. She had a halloween themed party so Khaliah got all dressed up in her kitty costume and went to Ellie's house. They had fun doing halloween crafts and playing. She was so excited to get the little halloween gift bag at the end. Meanwhile Taysiah, Mahlayah and I went to Discovery park down the street and played. They had so much fun swinging and sliding down the slide. It's so awesome to finally be able to just chill when I take the kids to the park. I don't have a little baby I have to carry around. I have toddlers that just say bye mom or push me.

Thursday Khaliah and Taysiah got all dressed up for dance. Khaliah in her kitty costume and Taysiah in her devil costume. They danced and exchanged candy. Real cute. Later that night we did pumpkins. Dustin and I didn't want to carve out a million faces so we decided to get the girls face pieces they could just stick in the pumpkin themselves. They had fun playing with that. I carved out a gobblin which didn't turn out fantastic because I broke like every carving tool we had. Dustin just did a simple smiley face...wuss...hahaha.

Friday was a little bit crazy for me. My pregnancy sickness kinda went away around week 8 so I was very surprised when I woke up friday to find that I was more nausous than I've probably ever felt before. I ended up throwing up in the morning while trying to get kids fed, Khaliah dressed in her costume for school and driving. I have never thrown up in pregnancy history so I was a little shocked. The feeling finally went away by the time I had to pick Khaliah up from school, but yuck, I hope I never have to go through that again. Dustin only worked a half day on Friday so it was nice spending the day with the whole fam getting ready to go out trick or treating. We probably spent 3 hours out hitting the doors. It was the most fun year so far. Mahlayah was a total hoot. She wanted to walk the whole time and the first door we went to she saw she got candy and just sat on the porch to eat it. She didn't care about anything else in the word...other than Dustin picking her up so we could move to the next house. She was a pirate which if you know her is totally her personality. I couldn't imagine putting a fairy dress on her she would just look really off.

Overall it was a great week, although I am glad it's over and we can focus on Thanksgiving now! YAY! Here are like a million pictures for people to enjoy. Sorry my camera is broken so all were taken on the phone.
