Around here trick-or-treating is on Saturday when Hallween falls on a Sunday, so we had a great Halloween Eve yesterday - hanging out, decorating, getting costumes ready, making chili. It was a good, fairly calm day.
Pre-Halloween dressing up
Carving pumpkins - sadly this is the only picture I took and it was when Nyah was upset about the pumpkin faces she drew on her pumpkin, but oh well.
Sophie - Cheer Bear. Isn't she adorable? Yeah . . . about 5 minutes after these pictures she had poo from her diaper to her armpits. So that's how long her costume lastet.
Jolie - Sugar the black dog (after a new stuffed dog she has).
Olivia - Ginger the orange cat (after a new stuffed cat she has). Can you tell we had trouble finding matching orange stuff? Good thing she doesn't care.
Nyah - Blue Fairy. She says her favorite part was the real eye shadow.
Austin - Grim Reaper.
More cute pictures:
It was a rainy, stormy night so we didn't do much trick-or-treating, and we kept having to go back to the house for jackets and umbrellas or to drop off kids who were too cold. Then we headed to a neighbor's house for their annual after-trick-or-treating party. Lots of donuts, s'mores, cookies - just what the kids needed before heading home to sleep :). I had a fabulous bowl of clam chowder.
