We had a fun-filled Halloween with the kids. We first went to the trunk-or-treat at Goddard. Aden got lots of candy, went on a hayride, and played games. We stopped my mimi's (my mom's) and then went onto the Fall Festival at Grand Avenue Baptist. They had a Wizard of Oz theme with Horse of a Different Color pony rides, more games, candy, and cotton candy/caramel apple treats. They even had the Wizard of Oz movie projected onto the side of the building.
Here are the kid's costumes:
Aden the Pirate... I loved this costume. I procrastinated and ended up ordering it online from Costume Supercenter and had to have it overnighted. Of course, upon receiving it Friday, the hat that was suppose to come with the costume was left out! I'm actually glad that it was left out because we found this hat at the Halloween Boutique (next to Kohl's) and I think that it really made the outfit!
Ava Elizabeth - our little ladybug... I found this costume at TJ Maxx. It's a size 2T, but we just secured it in the back and the wings covered that up. I had planned on making something with a tutu, but I didn't really have the time.
Our Trip to NYC
We had a good trip to NYC, but were happy to get back home. We left FSM on Thursday the 22nd and ended up returning on the 27th (instead of the 26th due to a cancelled flight). Nothing seemed to be going our way the day of arrival. We woke up at 4am in Van Buren to get ready and head to the airport. It was pouring down rain, so that in itself wasn't a great start. When we landed in NYC, we hailed a driver. Note driver: not a taxi with credientials, just some random guy in a suit with an SUV. I wasn't thinking well with such little sleep the night before. Well, I preceeded to tell him to take us to our hotel - the Crowne Plaza in Times Square - or so I thought. We arrived at the Crowne Plaza and went to check-in. Conveniently, their computers were down so we had to wait in the lobby to check-in. The best part is we found out we did not have reservations there. Oh Yeah, I forgot that is where I wanted to stay, but we were actually staying at the Candlewood Suites Times Square 12 blocks away. Since we had already paid a guy $45 to drop us there, I suggested to James that we just walk it. That was one way for him to see Times Square I guess! You should of seen us walking 12 blocks through Times Square with all of this luggage and 20,000 people. I'm sure it was quite a sight!
Anyway, here are a few pictures from our trip:

Little Italy - this cart was outside of Ferrara's. We had an amazing coffee and dessert in the actual Ferrara's.
James' dinner in Little Italy at Caffe' Napoli.

James and I @ John's Pizzeria in Greenwich Village. Highly Recommended!
James outside of a comedy club that we went to near times Square. It was pretty funny and we got the tickets for a meager $10/each, so it was well worth it.

We found this little Theater District bar called "Don't Tell Mama". Some of the workers there were broadway singers and they actually sang there. It was really cool.
We stood in the cancellation line for almost 3 hours to get tickets to Wicked. We ended up with orchestra section seats and I thought that it was a great production. The costumes and special effects were outstanding!
