Halloween Fun!

We had a fun Halloween. It started with Lizzie and I making Pumpkin Bread for her class party. It turned out very yummy! We made mini bread loaves and cut into slices… it was the perfect size for kindergarteners.


Yesterday afternoon, Sarah and I went to the school Halloween parade. The kids walked down Main Street then crossed over and came back on the other side. Sarah and I camped out in front of the Post Office. It turned out to be a beautiful day and warm enough that the kids didn’t have to wear their coats.


After school we came home and got ready for trick-or-treating. Anna and Lizzie loved having make-up put on. I think they were the prettiest Princess Aurora and Princess Snow White I have ever seen. I wonder if we’ll ever have a Halloween without a princess?


I was going to dress Sarah up as a cow but in the end switched to a ladybug. I figured I couldn’t let her get by without wearing it since both Anna and Lizzie wore it also…it’s a tradition I can’t break.


We took the girls in to town to trick or treat. It was their first experience with going house to house. I loved watching them in their excitement. There were a couple of spooky houses and costumes that scared Lizzie but all in all they had a blast. We got a late start but still had a great time. Even I am looking forward to next year.

can you even think about lady bugs without thinking of Virginia now?! I know I can't!
how exciting ... you're living in an area where you can go house to house now, perhaps in a neighborhood! haha
