We had a very busy and fun Halloween. On Sunday morning we went to the NC Zoo with our neighbors, The Weaver’s. The girls absolutely ADORE this family. Whenever we are outside and Dennis or Layne come home, Taylor and Caroline go running over to their cars to greet them as they open the door. The girls really enjoy playing with their two boys, Luke and Grant. They always have a good time so Taylor and Caroline were very excited that we were ALL going to the Zoo together on Halloween morning.
Once we got home that afternoon, the fun didn’t stop! Both sets of Grandparents came over that evening for dinner and the Halloween festivities. The girls were plain exhausted from the busy morning at the zoo and then on top of all the excitement building up to the night. They didn’t really want anything to eat except for CANDY. My goodness it was a crazy. While all of the adults were eating dinner, Taylor was so excited to hand out the candy to kids that stopped by our house.
After dinner, the grandparents were so nice and helpful (as usual) and they cleaned up the dishes and enjoyed some quiet time with Ella while Rob and I took the older two out trick or treating. The girls loved it! Between the two of them, I have never seen so much candy.
Poor little Caroline most likely ate WAY too much candy as she got sick ALL over the place that night. Once she got all that sugar up though, she was fine! Taylor told me later that morning, “Mommy you were right about the candy!” I had told the girls if they eat too much candy their belly will hurt really bad and they might get sick! Taylor said she was “right too” because she is a big girl and she already knew that she shouldn’t eat anymore candy and that is why she didn’t get sick…gotta love these little ones and what they say! :-)
Taylor JUST has a lollipop in her mouth!
Caroline LOVED and I mean LOVED the Zebra bus that took us from the Africa side of the park to the North America side.
Taylor and Caroline had so much fun on the little playground too that we had to bribe them with candy to head to the next stop.
