The Pshigoda Family: Halloween fun at the Hernandez House

Where has the time gone. I can't believe that Halloween is already over. I must say that with all of the craziness going on in my world (possibly just in my own mind) that I wasn't prepared for Halloween. We didn't get any decorations up except one ghost hanging from the light above the breakfast table.

Being the super awesome Moms that we are, Kelly and I decided that we would spend a fun, relaxing evening together having a pre-Halloween celebration with the kids. First stop...Pumpkin Patch. This went fairly well but it was the day before Halloween and the pumpkins weren't very pretty. It is also very difficult to get a good picture of 4 children at the same time. (Shout out to Amber - do not see how you can do this for a living!) Next stop Grocery store to get ingredients for eyeball cupcakes. There was some craziness with who was going to be in what shopping cart. I was pretty frazzled from this and don't think I ever recovered.

We made it back to the Hernandez House for some pumpkin carving. This went well but took awhile. Kelly & Luis were total pumpkin carving rock stars. Audrey was grouchy and decided that she didn't care for Trae at all. By the time we ate pizza and worked on the super-cute haunted house craft that Kelly bought it was 8:00. Kelly and I were both frazzled so I scurried to get the cupcakes made and the kids ate them at 9:00. I told Paige & Jace that I was going to use their eyeballs for the cupcakes (I don't think they totally believed that I was kidding). After the cupcake eating, Audrey finally warmed up and showed everyone her butt crack (such a proud moment for me). I'm happy to report that she and Trae hugged each other goodbye. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of that. Paige and Jace had lots of fun. When we left Paige told me that she loved Jace and wanted to marry him. He is like one of her favorite boyfriends. I asked how many boyfriends she had and she said 20 (she later changed this number to 100).

Even though it wasn't as relaxing as Kelly and I planned, it was still lots of fun. Thanks for having us over Kelly. We love the Hernandez Family! Let's do it again soon!
