miss A had her halloween program at her preschool. they did a little parade around the parents to the song ghostbusters and sang some adorable songs. she was wonderful and we couldn’t stop smiling or take our eyes off of her.
i think i spent about 15+ hours making the costumes all within 2 days. it was insane! i was sewing my costume until right before we went trick or treating on halloween. i made every single item of all our costumes except our shoes and miss a’s pants. note to self: never make every part of 4 costumes from scratch. insane, i tell you!
but the girls loved their costumes which made it all worth it in the end.
and we went to our church’s halloween party
miss a was pretty sick for a couple weeks and she’s been such a sweetheart.
but she did lose a lot of weight on her already skinny self. π
and we went trick or treating with our friends. i love having kids which gives me a reason to go myself too! holidays are seriously 100x more fun when you have children. seeing my girls get so happy, eager, and excited to go get as much candy as they can is one of the most exciting things for me on halloween.
we always go trick or treating around my parents’ neighborhood because it’s awesome.
some of them give out hot scones, hot chocolate, and full size candy bars.
oh my gosh. i just noticed the man behind the door window while posting this.
it gave me a scare haha.
don’t you love the jelly belly costume? so clever!

this halloween was kind of a bummer because i was sick(still sick-boo) and my husband was away for almost a week for work which made me almost have a mental breakdown but i survived. i survived! my husband and i’ve been talking about when to have a next child but i think that talk will have to be on a pause for awhile after i just survived this crazy week. do you other parents change your minds about whether to have more kids/not have kids/when to have kids depending on the day/week? because i sure do. π
I love to read your blog but I didnΒ΄t leave comments because my english is so bad:-(( so I am pretty a shame.
Anyway, I can tell you this: your girls are amazing and I love what you did with the costumes!
About having another kid, we have the same doubts. I am also mother of two (age 5 and 2) plus I work half time job. I want to have more kids but I have change my decision about when would that be, so for now I am just enjoying time with my husband and our kids. I think I am young enough to allowed this to myself and you are definitely. So, for now, just enjoy your family:-)
I always wanted to do the Jazmin custume but I couldnt think of a way to make it modest so I might be "borrowing" your idea next year! Love your blog!
@Lucija: Thanks so much for your comment! And your english is EXCELLENT, what are you talking about? Your grammar was perfect and spelling was perfect! And yes I think if it stresses us out thinking about having another kid, then it's smart to put a pause and enjoy the moment. π
@TAH: Feel free to borrow it, glad to be of help!

I'm a new follower and am seriously amazed at your sewing skills. I'm 28 and still rely on my umma to fix my buttons for me. But I think I make up for it in the kitchen. π

Haha! YES! Some days I'm like no more kids at all (I only have one) and then there are days I'm like, "quick! let's get pregnant before I change my mind!"

your husband is such a good sport! i have an awful time trying to get mine to dress up!
I'm not a parent yet, but the having kids issue is almost hourly for me. :p For the most part, I really want babies! We've been married for a year and a half now, and are back and forth all the time with having kids. We'll want kids really bad, and then we'll go grocery shopping and see a kid screaming his lungs out and throwing things out of the cart…then we've changed our minds and decided to wait a little bit longer. :p It's hilarious. I also can't tell if I am getting a good feeling about having kids, or if it's just me wanting them. So confusing!
