Whatta week. We are not usually the most social people, but this week has been an exception. So many fun Halloween events coupled with our little A’s 2nd birthday celebration and we are officially beat! Thanks for hanging with me.

A small recap, in case you’re looking for some last-minute Halloween inspiration…

We went to a small Halloween crafts party earlier in the week. I think it’s so hard to find cute crafts that are doable for the younger kid set, but this mom managed to find just the right activities for the under 4 crowd. One of my favorite things we made were these owl cupcakes (she spotted them on )… 2 oreos, a couple of m+m’s, some chocolate cupcakes and they’re done. The kids loved making these and they were super easy!

Later in the week we headed to Gen’s house for a black+white-themed Halloween bash. I’m so glad Gen took some pictures but I wish I had taken my own camera, since she still doesn’t do the party justice! I loved it so much I’m going to post more on the kid party section of the blog asap.

Then we got ready for Adah’s 2nd birthday. After a couple of weeks of 70-degree sunny days we were sure we were set for an outdoor fiesta at the park. Wrong! The day turned out to be the coldest and wettest it had been in awhile, so we had to move it inside to our house. I was a bit bummed at first, but logistically, I think it worked better for this size crowd and age group. We ended up having a great time and the birthday girl was thrilled (though she didn’t sleep a wink that night).

Today we had a Halloween carnival at school and our little raccoons got dressed up in their full attire. The tails only lasted a few minutes before they ditched them, but I was happy to at least get a few pictures!

I’ll post more of A’s party soon- hope you are having a great Halloween weekend!
