Happy Halloween everyone! I hope your day is filled with lots of pumpkins, laughter, good friends, great food, kids at your door wearing cute costumes and a bunch of candy.
But before we get to Halloween things…
THE RED SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES!!
Oh my gosh! To say that I’m excited would be a HUGE understatement! I am thrilled beyond words! I have watched over 180 games this season…but last night’s was my favorite :). Now, I’m not sure why we’re surprised they won? How many times on this blog have I mentioned that my favorite number is 13 and good things always happen to me on the 13th? Well, it only makes sense that the Red Sox would win the World Series in 2013…seriously, I should have realized this way back in April :).
So, Shay is really happy today for two reasons…first, the Sox won the World Series and second, it’s Halloween :).
We had a great Monday getting in the mood for Halloween…
First, Kensington wore her unicorn costume to gymnastics. Nothing says tumbler like a unicorn.
On Monday afternoon, the kiddos and I walked to the park. I love this kid :).
And then Monday night, we carved some jack-o-lanterns! They were so excited!! (I believe Kensington is protecting her pumpkin for crazy Smith!)
She did a great job drawing her own jack-o-lantern face!
Daddy helped Smith draw his.
And then we carved them up, put some candles inside and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. This might have been the kids’ favorite fall activity! They were so proud!
Happy Halloween from our spooky house to yours!
Are you flipping out over needing a quick Halloween goody for today? No worries! I’ve got you covered…
Come check out my foodie blog today!
And don’t forget tomorrow is Pin-spired!! I can’t wait to see your recreations!
And finally…
…I’ll try and keep my Christmas cheer to a minimum until after Thanksgiving…but this is what I’ll be thinking at 12:01 tonight. Just sayin’…
Happy Halloween!

Love how excited the kids are about their carved pumpkins! SO CUTE! And the tumbling unicorn? Precious.
p.s. I will call you at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow and sing Christmas carols.

I went into a store last night and I couldn't believe that there was one aisle of Halloween stuff and about 10 aisles of Christmas stuff. And last year on November 1 the city I work in had all of their street decorations up on November 1. Part of me loves it and part of me is like, already? (But mostly I love it)
Lori R. says
DON'T keep your Christmas cheer in, bring it on!!!
Ashhog says
Happy for you and your Red Sox…sad for me and my Cardinals. ;(
Kelly Jo says
Love the pumpkins! Can't believe it will be November tomorrow!
Tab & Erika says
We carved pumpkins last night and my kiddos loved it too!!! Cute cute pics of your sweet kiddos!!
wichael says
I think it's great to start celebrating Jesus' birthday early. Why not start the party music and put up the decorations?! Even though I know it gets commercialized, I tell my kiddos when we walk through stores that we can be reminded that all these pretty decorations and many Christmas songs are truly for the best birthday party ever!! 🙂
Danielle says
Go Sox!!! 13 is my lucky number too. Glad to hear I'm not the only one 🙂 Happy Halloween Shay!
Anonymous says
Too funny…I was thinking the same thing about Christmas songs. 🙂
Kelly says
Congratulations on the Rangers winning the world series!!!! Oh wait…they didn't win? So confused because aren't you from Texas and nowhere near Boston???
Kidding, kidding, but from a bitter O's fan who actually cheers for her hometown team, we are excited to open our season next year vs the WS champs….and sure are hoping they look a little more presentable! 🙂
Hope you have a fun Halloween with your adorable children!
Ashley says
Girlfriend, I have been listening to Christmas music all week. I already put away all my pumpkins and have pulled out the Christmas stuff. It all goes up this weekend 🙂 ha!
Laura says
The Christmas season always starts the day after Halloween for me. If your cable provider comes with all the music stations the "Sounds of the Season" one starts nonstop Christmas music every November 1. It's pretty much the best thing ever!
Angela Ellingson says
Hey, don't keep the Christmas cheer to minimum for my sake. Love it!!! We are going to our church's Trunk or Treat/Harvest Festival tonight with our little Cinderella and Gus Gus!
Leigh says
Go Sox!!!!! My husband is crazy excited the Red Sox winning! Hope you have a wonderful Halloween. We have a crazy storm moving through my town today so we were asked to postpone trick or treating until tomorrow. Oh well! Happy Halloween!
{Jessica} says
I thought of you when I heard that Boston won the World Series this morning while watching the Today Show. I just knew you were so excited!!!:)
The kids pumpkins turned out great! I love the classic jack-o-lanterns with scary faces. That's how we did ours this year.
And, I am SO with you on the Christmas countdown. I mean, tomorrow is November 1st!!! ONE month until Christmas! We will def be getting the Christmas cds asap (and have already watched a few Christmas movies!)
klmoore23 says
Don't forget the most important rule of all today…for every 1 piece of candy given out, you must eat 2 pieces yourself! Enjoy tonight with your kiddos!
Miranda says
Please do not hesitate to post all things Christmas! I went to Dollar Tree yesterday and dropped $19 on Christmas decorations, with tax that equaled out to about 18 different Christmas items…<3 it
Amy says
Ditto on the Christmas carols!!! I can't wait! Getting my kids' Christmas books out too.
Candice Kelley says
You and Smith have the same smile! Very sweet pictures!
P.S. I think you, your dad, and I may be some of the only Red Sox fans in Mckinney! GO SOX!! 🙂
Nicole says
I'm with you Shay. My kids actually said to me last night "mom are you getting your Christmas cds out for Friday" You betcha I am!! I love November 1st
Sarah Smith says
RED SOX NATION!! My husband and I just moved to Boston from Georgia.. What a great year to fall in love with Boston and the Sox! Happy Halloween!
Jaren says
The morning after the Red Sox won I heard it on my alarm radio, and I immediately thought of you and how excited you must have been!
I love their unique pumpkin faces!!! Too cute!
Aubrey says
My favorite thing about your Halloween is Kensington's jack-o-lantern. That is AWESOME.
Time to bust out the Christmas carols indeed!
