Halloween Time

We had a fun Halloween this year and I feel like it lasted a whole week!  We started off with our ward Trunk or Treat on the Saturday before Halloween. Tyler brought home cast lining to wrap up in as a mummy, I was a black cat, Bridgette was a pink horse and Penelope was a cheetah.

 We ate lots of pizza and fruit and then went around trick or treating at all the cars.

Penny loved playing with pumpkins!

We carved Bridgette's giant pumpkin on Sunday.  She didn't want to participate at all for the carving (see face in picture, haha!)

 But loved it after it was done and frequently talked about how it changed into a "Jack-o-latern".

 While we were all busy with carving and cleaning up, this crazy girl opened her puffs and stuffed her face!

 That night we had ghost cookie for dessert.  (Sisters- you should try a giant sugar cookie instead of a cake next year!)

 Bridgette dressed up for dance class on Tuesday.  We didn't think she'd be able to move well in the horse costume, so she was a butterfly instead.  The wings lasted only 5 minutes until they were off!

 For music makers on Thursday, the girls wore costumes again.  We had about 25 kids there and it was a fun, mad-house party!
Friday Bridgette was so excited to go trick-or-treating.  We had pumpkin shaped pizza with Daddy(yay for easy rotations!) and then off to the neighborhood for candy. 
Our cute horse.  Not the most practical for walking around in, but she loved it and pet/nuzzled it all the time.  She wouldn't let go of the "handles" and so had a hard time carrying her bucket, picking out candy and doing stairs by herself.

 All ready to go!

 She was very brave about saying trick or treat loudly and sometimes remembered to say thank you on her own. 

 We went for about 2 hours.  It was perfect!

 We couldn't stop laughing at Penny who got so excited with all the noisy candy wrappers.  She just kept grabbing handfuls and stuffing them in her face!  This is my favorite picture from Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  It definitely makes it more fun to have kids who are excited for holidays!
