Halloween is over, and we're officially into November. It feels like there was so much build up for Halloween this year (probably because Laurel was SO excited about it). Then, in a flash it's over! Though we did cram a lot in, so I'll try to recount the most important.
The Halloween parade at school came first, which was more than a week ago now. Here are some of the pictures from the little mermaid all dressed up for school. Luke was merely an observer for this, no costume.
Next came a Fall FunFest at Gradma's church...this was insane...attended by thousands of kids. Laurel and Luke jumped on the bouncy things, got candy, got fake tatoos...and most importantly won Goldy, our new goldfish.



Next was trick-or-treating at the Georgia Aquarium. I think all in all this was the most memorable thing that we did this year. We wanted to go to Boo at the Zoo, but it rained all day, so the Aquarium was the better alternative. (And Laurel's first choice, so that worked out well) Both Laurel and Luke were mesmerized by the fish, sharks, jellyfish, etc. They loved it. The best part was watching Laurel and Luke's faces when the came out of the whale slide tunnel.
Next was the Halloween party at Grandma Thurmond's, trick-or-treating and then the last part was carving the Halloween pumpkin. All in all we had a great weekend, and Grandma and Grandpa Dorman finally got to see the new house. The kids loved showing them around the house and the property.
