There's no place like home! It didn't dawn on me until I sat down to write the blog that our Halloween theme was very appropriate for our life right now. I have to say, I think my kids and husband rocked the Oz. At the last minute I tried to switch to the Scarecrow, but "Dorothy" would not hear of it. Unfortunately, "Glenda" couldn't find a pink, fluffy, dress so I wasn't as spectacular as the rest of the family.
The tornado blew threw and dropped us off in Winabow for a neighborhood Halloween bash. This was the first annual neighborhood bash and I think it went spectacular. A cookout was the first stop, followed by haunted house, and then trick or treating via trailer hayride. There were kids of all different ages - representing every fairy, super hero, and movie character you could think of.
The Sims do Oz...
Younger kids in the neighborhood
The Lion was not in a happy place so getting a good picture of the two didn't go well.
Trailer hayride - The kids would hop on after each house.
Charlie (bumble bee) and Carrington (Dorothy). Charlie's family is renting our house. I think these two are going to become good friends.
Trick or Treat!On Saturday there was a tripped planned to visit the pumpkin farm but the chilly, rainy weather didn't make that possible. Instead, we made soup at Bonnie's house and waited for the sun to come out before we headed to a church that was selling pumpkins. We stayed long enough to get a few pictures and let the girls pick out a small pumpkin.

What Halloween wouldn't be complete without pumpkin pancakes. Grayson is expanding his meals so he got in on the yummy treat too.
Pumpkin faced pancakes - better than the IHOP!
Wild - all the way around!The tornado came back to town on Halloween and took us to Myrtle Beach for pizza, wings, and trick or treating with our family. Just like Carrington's first Halloween, she went door to door with her cousin Kelly. Grayson was in better spirits this time and stayed bundled up with his daddy. It took us an hour and a half to make it around the neighborhood via walking and wagon riding. We now have enough candy to last us until next year!
There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.
