Halloween Fun

Can we all agree right now that Fall weekends are the very best?! We had the best weather ever, the kind where the temperature is just right, the skies are overcast & the wind blows enough to make the leaves fall off the trees like rain all day long. We went to the Country Living Fair at Stone Mountain on Friday, one of the most beautiful places & so many cool things to see (and delicious things to eat)! Saturday, Harper had a soccer game in the morning, then we hung around the house working on Halloween costumes & watching football. And I figured Halloween week was the perfect time to dress Claire up in her mermaid gown, could she be any sweeter?! 🙂

Since it was getting so chilly, we had a fire after dinner & made s’mores. The girls loved it of course & Brandon gave them a lesson in roasting the perfect marshmallow, which I think they took very seriously. Everyone was a sticky mess afterwards, but they were delicious. Can’t wait to make more with leftover Halloween candy!

Sweatshirt Dresses c/o Childhoods

And then there was Sunday night trunk-or-treat, with the sweetest ever Snow White & Belle!
They were sooo excited about their costumes. There was a major shoe debacle, after getting Eloise dressed she decided to take one of her shoes off and put it in the playroom toybox. This is the exact reason why we are hardly ever on time anywhere. I am running around asking where she put her shoe (because I know she knew where it was) and she is laughing looking back at me repeating “shooz! shooze!!”. Harper has been asking to be Belle for weeks & has patiently waited to wear her dress that she picked out. Eloise yelling “chicka-cheet!” all night & nervously picking out a handful of candy from each bowl was the cutest. They had a blast & can’t wait to do it again in a few days!! I’m not sure who is more excited for this weekend! 🙂

Happy Halloween week!! XO

    These photos are so stinking sweet! I hate to even ask, but I've been searching for Disney Princess dresses for my almost 2 year old that aren't so big that she can't walk. Where did you find the snow white one for Eloise? It looks like the exact size I've been looking for.

    You make motherhood look so easy and organized. Where do u find the time to do all that you guys do with 3 kids. I have two (2.5 yr old and a 16 month old) and it's Chaos just getting them to get dressed. Do they ever fight with each other? I feel like I'm constantly breaking up fights. 🙁 Any suggestions would truly be appreciated. ?.?.?
