All Hallows Eve and a Winner

Is Halloween already over?

I am just amazed at how fast 2012 is going.

My Harry Potters and Rapunzel had such an amazing time.

For only two years old, Baby Girl sure knew how to grab a handful when they said to take as much as she wanted.  I think there is a good chance she came home with more candy than the boys.

This year we left it up to the children to dress up, though we did represent our San Francisco Giants.

And now that Halloween is over, I can officially get excited for holiday season!

November through New Years really is the best time of the year.

I just LOVE the next two months!

Pumpkins

Another Halloween means another trip to our favorite pumpkin farm!

It amazes me how much all three of them have changed since last year.

Camp Spooky

This was not how we started off the day.  It looked a little more like this.

Last year was our first year ever participating in Knott's Berry Farm's Camp Spooky and there was no question in the kids mind that if we were invited to attend again, we would absolutely be there.  Lucky for us we were and early Sunday morning we ventured out to partake in costume parties, cookie decorating, trick-or-treating, face painting and of course, rides.

The Star Wars theme was replaced by Harry Potter and Baby Girl insisted on Rupunzel, which she wore for about 10 minutes and then quickly removed.  Oh well, maybe next year.

If you are interested in attending Camp Spooky, the event runs from October 6 through October 28 and is part of your general admission ticket.  It is a great family-friendly, non-scary way to kick off the Halloween season!  

The best part of the day was taking all three kids on my favorite ride when I was little. 

Who doesn't love the Log Ride?!

* The Juggling in Heels family was provided free admission to Knott's Berry Farm to participate in this event.

A Witch and her Bacon

It has been a while since I dressed up for Halloween.  That is actually an understatement.  I do not remember the last time I have dressed up for Halloween.  I have simply left it to the children.  This year the boys got really into The Wizard of Oz and asked if I would dress up as the Wicked Witch of the East and paint myself green.  I thought Glinda would be a better option but apparently they think I am a bitch a green face is more fun.  So I committed.  Come Halloween night I covered my face and neck green while my husband looked on with a laugh, as he simply threw on a 49ers jersey and called himself done.  NO WAY.  This bitch witch was not letting him go so easily.  Luckily my sister had a bacon costume (entire other story) and I got the kids to demand that he be bacon.  So here we are.

Try as I might, the kids were more excited about sugar highs than they were about taking pictures so here are some random shots that we were able to get without a great family one (very typical around here).  Please realize that I understand that Minnie has mouse ears but SHE insisted they were a "no go". Also, my Middle Man is not half brunette and half blonde.  The brown is hair color that he INSISTED on until I started spraying it and then it was major freak out.  Obi Wan apparently likes streaks.

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone has a fabulous Halloween!  I will be roaming the streets with Minnie Mouse, Obi Wan Kenobi and a X Wing Fighter, using them to collect candy that I will later tell them is bad for them, take half away and keep hidden for me.  Have fun and be safe!
