Halloween

November 3, 2026

Having a Saturday Halloween was the most fun – even if we did start the day bright and early with an 8am soccer game! But, we got a W so it was a good start for these soccer stars…

For Halloween night everyone went in different directions. I’m a little sad the days of precious porch pics are over. But, I did manage to snag this one of Spencer and Samantha before they scattered…

I was with Samantha all night so got lots of cute pics of her! Lots of poses all pretty in pink…with more comfortable shoes than Boo Bash!

We started out in Colonial Hills before heading over to our neighborhood…

Robert and I made it out and got to visit with friends…

while the boys were out with their friends all over town!

It was fantastic weather and a great night all around!

All treats, no tricks!

Happy Halloween 2026!

The Halloween fun started on Friday with Boo Bash at school! Samantha decided early on what she wanted to be and she nailed it!

What, like it’s hard?!

Best Elle Woods ever!

It was then off to the most fun day of non-stop fun at school!

I loved helping with the 6th grade pizza lunch…

and then off to the parking lot party!

Best teacher costumes!

Photobooth at the end of the day with the backdrop falling down…perfect way to end our last Boo Bash ever. ha!

After school we headed out to watch the parade…

Best day before Halloween ever!!

Lots of Halloween fun planned for this weekend…it’s basically a 2 day event this year! BOO!

Sunday evening we put on our nice clothes and took some potential Christmas card photos. I appreciate my family indulging me!

Not going to be the Christmas card…

What I wish could be the Christmas card – but they’ll never let me!

It does not get cuter than this!

After photos Robert went to get a massage at the spa while the rest of us enjoyed the game room…

We then had a wonderful final dinner at the Dogwood. Robert and the kids headed out early Monday morning to get back for football practice but GJ and I stayed for the cooking demonstration with Chef Joe.

It was informative and entertaining! and despite the fact that I had eaten a full stack of pancakes at breakfast, I still ate every bit of the delicious lunch he prepared! A fantastic way to end the trip.

It was such a special weekend at a very special place. I feel so fortunate I got to experience it and cannot wait to go back!
