It has taken me all weekend to narrow down the halloween pictures. I apologize for putting 24 on the blog, but this is kind of my baby book for the girls! We had a fun week filled with halloween excitement. Sunday night, the girls went to our church fall festival for bouncy house fun, dinner and then trunk or treat. Emma quickly learned how the trick or treat thing worked. She never has been afraid of anyone with food in their hand!
Wednesday was Ellie's class party and then Wednesday night we hit the streets of our neighborhood for some serious candy grabbing. Ellie thought we needed to go to every single house in our neighborhood (which is about 600 homes). We had to cut her off for bedtime though, and she was not happy about that. She showed Emma the ropes, and I think they both will be a mean candy hunting machine next year!
I've never really fully embraced the Halloween thing. I usually decorate more fall, mainly so I can leave decorations up through thanksgiving. I've never been a big fan of dressing up and doing halloween themed parties. After seeing the effort of some of our neighbors this year, (and a friendly religious disagreement with a patient who believes it's wrong to teach your children about halloween, santa and the easter bunny - LONG STORY ) I will definitely go all out next year. The houses with the most decorations, music and people in costume attracted us to stop and get candy. They looked like they were having a blast, and Ellie was so excited about it! Her comment to her daddy after one of the scary houses was "I'm not scared of nofing Daddy!" It was definitely a fun family night that brought us together for several hours. (In my opinion, God would smile about that!)
