Halloween was probably one of the craziest days I or my family has had in a while. Here's how it went down:
3:30am Texas Time (1:30 am Cali time) - Woke up in Azle, TX and packed rental car with suitcases, strollers, and babies.
4:45am - Dropped off Rental car, shuttled to Dallas Love Field to check in, make it through security, eat breakfast and board plane.
6:30 am - Take off from DLF. Short stop in New Mexico. Crazy flying with 2 babies! (they were good though)
9:40 am - Land at LAX. Get luggage, (2 suitcases, 2 carseats, 2 babies, two carry on bags) and board shuttle for our car.
10:15 am - Get our car, load the luggage and babies, drive down the congested 405 towards home.
10:45 am - Get In-and-Out, go home, unload car and put Z down for a nap.
11:30 am - NAP TIME!
1:30 pm - Wake up, feed babies, start getting ready for Halloween!
2:00 pm - Decide we are going to go to that Halloween party, so we find a babysitter. Start making costumes
3:00 pm - Get out of the house for some last minute costume shopping.
5:00 pm - Arrive at Z's little boyfriends house for some trick or treating. Still putting last minute touches on costumes for everyone. Eat pizza.
6:30 pm - Trick or treat! We were all exhausted, so we didn't make it too far...but we still did it!
7:00 pm - Take girls home, bathe them, attempt to put them to bed in the middle of a 2 year old major melt down.
7:20 pm - Pick up babysitters. Give them the run down.
7:45 pm - Arrive at "adult" Halloween party and make a drink.
8:45 pm - Finish drink. Decide we're too old for the party and head home!
9:30 pm - Pass out.
:)
What did you do for Halloween?

Ours wasn't quite that crazy, but busy for us. It involved our 4 kids, 2 Halloween parades at 2 different schools, a 2 year old that finally realized that people would give her something just for saying "trick-or-treat"! Our, it Halloween is our Great Dane's birthday, so he comes trick-or-treating with us. He is the hit of the neighborhood.
ReplyDelete@Meredith - that does sound crazy! Can't imagine what it'll be like when the girls are in SCHOOL! :) Thanks for the comment!
