Trick or Treat

We had such a busy day, we didn't leave much time to get ready for trick-or-treating!  Jeremy  and Annah took the slumber party girls home, went shopping and had a birthday lunch at McDonald's, and bought some pumpkins.  We spent the afternoon designing their faces and carving them.

We prefer happy pumpkins to scary ones, so all 3 of our jack-o-lanterns are smiley.

We thought it was pretty cold, and the girls didn't want to wear coats over their pretty costumes to go trick-or-treating, so they decided to stay home and help Daddy hand out candy to those who came trick-or-treating at our house.

Earlier this month, Annah and Sylvia made these decorations for the window of our front door.

Caeden and I headed south on our street to trick-or-treat.  We visited his friend Luke's house, and discovered they had very similar costumes!

We realized it wasn't all that cold, so we stopped back home to see if the girls wanted to visit some other neighbors with us.  Sylvia came along, but Annah was having fun giving out candy.

It's so fun to get out and see our neighbors!

We met another Snow White along the way, one of our sweet little neighbor girls. (Her big sister is one of my piano students.)

Beth, our neighbor across the street turned 15 yesterday, and her parents were throwing her a big Halloween party tonight!  They had great decorations, costumes, jack-o-lanterns, and tiki torches.  Michelle was standing behind their gate yelling, "Hellllllp me!!!!!!!" to get all the trick-or-treaters to come get their candy from her.

Their pumpkins were super cute too.

Our village trick-or-treating time was from 3:30-7:30, so we finished and came home to greet more trick-or-treaters for a long time.  It was great when the kids classmates came and were so excited to realize whose house they were at.
