The Me and Mine Family Portrait Project - October 2017

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope everyone has fun dressing their little ones up tonight (if you take part in Halloween). We chose to really embrace October, Autumn and Halloween this year, I guess it was a way for us to have a bit of fun with the boys and try our best to ignore the fact that the weather is really not very nice outside. Because when you've got children, that's actually a really big inconvenience because trying to find things to do inside all day every day is hard, hard work! (So please do stay away for as long as possible Winter!). 

We decided that this year we'd all be skeletons - a family of skeletons if you'd like with Mummy Skeleton, Daddy Skeleton, Kid Skeleton and Baby (or toddler really, but he's still a baby in our eyes and probably always will be!) Skeleton. We even all went to town in our outfits at the weekend (minus the scary pumpkin mask and other props because that would probably have been a tad too much!). ;) 

Taking photographs of us all as a family is still just as challenging as ever. Although I have to say, sometimes we get super lucky and magically get one on the first go. But usually, it's a bit of a challenge getting the boys to both semi-look in the direction of the camera and not pull a strange face! Ethan has a new smile that he does for the camera and he doesn't realise it, bless him, but it's sort of like the scared emoji (see below!). But regardless, I'll never stop trying to get them, they are actually quite fun to do, sometimes stressful at the time too, but still fun and I love having them and looking back through all of my old Me and Mine family posts. 

October has been a busy month - Adam's custom LEGO minifigure business has picked up fast now that we are closer to Christmas, and it's always a great thing, but it does mean that he get's super busy. Ethan seems to be getting on well at school and has just today gone back from half term. During half term we visited the library, Ethan went to the cinema to see the Ninjago movie with his Daddy and he actually sat through a film for the first time ever, we made leaf hedgehogs together, we went to the local pumpkin patch, we went to Gulliver's Land (blog post coming soon), the boys had two days with a sleepover at their Grandma's, we watched Hocus Pocus (SUCH a great film!) and lots more!

We don't currently have many plans for November, I guess we'll be filling it with trying to work out what Christmas presents to get for everyone and no doubt working hard to pay for it like pretty much everyone else. I hope you've all had a lovely month and that November is a good month for you too!

Did you or your little ones dress up for halloween? What did you choose?

Thank you for reading.
