Florida Trip Day 3- Halloween

We started out the day playing-









After spending a beautiful morning and afternoon playing at the park and enjoying the beautiful weather, we got ready to Trick or Treat!! Introducing Halloween 2011- for the first time Marc and I dressed up as well (Amber got us all costumes!)

Sweet little "Piglet"-

And the cutest Pooh this Snow White ever saw (at least since Marky wore it 5 years ago)-

He was an angel and walked with us the whole time and said, "trick or treat" and "thank you!" at every house.

I ordered Julia a fancy Little Bo Peep costume, but it didn't come in. Amber and I ran out just a few hours before trick-or-treat time and found this Scarlet O'Hara costume that I LOVED! Julia still thought she was Little Bo Peep and told everyone that's who she was!

A super-fun night- Amber and Dennis' neighborhood is very nice and at several houses they were giving out wine in paper cups and on the corner they had a huge Margarita machine and were giving away Margaritas- not your typical Halloween in Alabama! :)

Tuesday morning we began our journey home. We went to Mass in Orlando for All Saints Day and then made our way to Tallahassee where we decided to stop because poor Charlie was tired of riding. :) While in Tallahassee we were able to finally take the kids to see Florida State- Marky has been dying to see the football stadium because he is determined to be a Florida State Football Player. When we got there the band was praciticing and we got to watch them and the majorettes! Then it was on to the stadium- it's beautiful- totally redone since Marc was in school-

Charlie slept through the campus tour but woke up to smile at us in his new "Skywalker Ranch" onesie that Aunt Amber bought him-

Poor Tuck Tuck wore himself out and fell asleep on the way to the hotel-

We happened to be driving through Dothan today, All Souls' Day, and were thrilled to be able to stop and pray at my grandparents' graves-

It was a long, hard trip but it was such a fun time with our family.

Our time with Noah is precious and we want to make as many happy memories as we can! Amber did a sweet post last night on the anniversary of finding out about his cancer. We didn't know we would have two years with him on those first scary nights. Every day is a miracle.

I'm with Holly on the margarita trick or treat!!!
In college, my car was "Rhett", my room was "Tara" and my house was "Five Trees" because we didn't have 12 Oaks. I LOVE Sissy Bug's Scarlett outfit.
"Miz Scarlett, it's not fittin' for a young lady to show her bosoms before 5:00!!!!" Fiddle-de-dee.
"Why Charles Hamilton, if you go away to war I'll cry in my pillow every night!" {wink, wink}
