Halloween on South Green

 

Happy Halloween from Little Bo Peep and her sheep!  We have been excited about our dynamic duo for quite awhile now.  What a special Halloween this was for us.  Canaan is officially walking now, so his little sheepish self trying to walk in his fuzzy outfit was out of this world adorable.

Hadley is really at that magical age, in so many ways.  Her costume ended up being a cross between a southern belle and Little Bo Peep.  Her hoop skirt malfunctioned on us a few times, but luckily we were able to snap it back together.  We had to have a few talks about why she couldn't "hook" her sheep.  Getting her in and out of her stroller, trying to maneuver that hoop skirt, gave me glimpses of her wedding day.  Lots of people waiting on her and helping her move around.

Oh, I could eat him up with a spoon.

 Granna and Grandad trick-or-treated with us, too, which is always great to have them around.  Granna pushed the stroller and the rest of us adults packed Canaan around until our backs hurt so much we couldn't take it any longer.  He just wasn't feeling the stroller on this night.  Miss Priss was telling us exactly where she wanted to go.

How many times did I say, "What do you say Hadley?"  "Fank you."  I love that Hadley still calls this kind of candy her potty treats.

 

 

I told you she got waited on hand and foot all night long.  We took advantage of the sweet church that hands out free grilled hot dogs every year.  Such a thoughtful thing to do when you have tired and cranky kids (and parents).  This tied us over until we got home to our chili and pimento cheese sandwiches. 

 On the final leg of our walk back home, Grandad put Canaan on his shoulders.  Granna tickled him and wagged his little tail, which brought great laughs from our boy.  Hadley got really tired and was pretty much begging to go home; a sweet reminder that she's still just a little girl.  It's nice to be reminded of that, sometimes, when it seems as if she's growing up every single day.  We couldn't have asked for a better Halloween; great memories for sure!  Happy Halloween!
