On Monday, we went to my Mom's and worked on our pumpkins. She had bought the kiddos pumpkins for her house, and I just brought the ones that we had got for them along so that we could get them finished. Aiden's for her house turned out to be rotten :-( so him and Piper had to share. Aiden wanted Mario, and we had no stencils and no way of printing one, so I had to just look at a picture and draw it onto there.. I am by no means an artist either! haha! I did a Jack Skellington type for myself, and did a Hello Kitty for Piper.. since I didn't have a stencil and had to draw it out with a sharpie, then cut.. it ended up breaking at the whiskers because I had drawn it too close together! :-( But we just propped it right back up there! They turned out pretty cute I've gotta say! :-)
I painted a little planter to look like Frankenstein, well, as best as I could, haha. Aiden and Mimi made some Halloween cookies, and Jeff and her frosted them. They were pretty good! We had some chilli (seriously best chilli.. kudos to Jeff) and watched Once Upon A Time, while we carved the pumpkins. It was a good time all around!
I was super stressed on Monday because I had looked everywhere for Aiden his SONIC the Hedgehog costume, in stores and online, and everywhere was sold out. Then, he decided he would be HULK... it was also sold out. So, then he decided he wanted to be something from Star Wars... wasn't the right size... so, he said Wolverine, and if they don't have it, Thor. So, I order Wolverine and Minnie Mouse (for Piper) on walmart.com, and they were free shipping and guaranteed to arrive by Monday or Tuesday. We check the post office on Monday, of course they're not there.. sigh! I check my email to see when they may arrive, and Walmart.com had emailed me, letting me know that they had shipped out my order! Well, I had also received another email from them that they had cancelled an order (Aiden's Wolverine costume) because of a conflict with shipping. They said they didn't ship to PO boxes, yet, they shipped out Piper's Minnie Mouse costume to our post office. So that was a disaster... had to try and find Aiden a very last minute costume, that he could fit into and that he liked as well. He ended up being Optimus Prime, and he loves Transformers, but that wasn't at all the costume he wanted. Sigh. Piper's hadn't arrived on Monday... it didn't arrive on Tuesday either.. I was seriously worried and stressing, but already began searching and planning on a cute DIY fast costume for her. Finally, Wednesday, it came.. just in the knick of time! Talk about a close call!! I am not very satisfied with that experience from Walmart.com.
We got Aiden a book called The Monster Diaries, and got Piper a devil, mummy, and vampire rubber ducky, and gave them each some money for their piggy banks. :)
We fixed Aiden up some little goody bags filled with Halloween candy for his classmates on Wednesday for their party, and he got to wear his costume to school, so that was fun! Trick or treating was from 5pm-7pm here.
