Halloween is getting more fun the older the girls get. They seem to get what holidays really are and unlock the magic that holidays held as a kid...I think that's one of the best parts of being a parent. It also makes me thankful for my parents and the effort they always put into our holidays as a kid(as a parent you find out it is ALOT of work). This year Hallie changed her mind a handful of times with what she wanted to dress up as. Gracie was a lady bug and Hallie was tangled...at least for most of the events.
Halloween fell on Hallie's preschool day which made the entire day full of fun and candy filled events. Halloween morning we got her all dressed and ready. When she got home she was full of stories to tell about all the activities they had done. They had a fishing pond, pumpkin painting, ghost bowling, Halloween story time, and even a place to decorate cookies. She had a blast!
We had lunch then her and Grace both went down for naps. When they got up we got dressed up again and headed to Matt's office for trick or treating. The had a great time and ended up with a haul of candy. Seriously a gallon bag each! That night by Hallie request and what seems to becoming a Halloween tradition we had Chinese Take-out picnic before heading to the ward trunk or treat. Before we left Hallie decided she wanted to be sleeping beauty instead of Tangled and it didn't matter to me so he she is being sleeping beauty.
It was a little on the chilly side so in a matter of 30 minutes start to finish we were done and headed home for the night. But not before the kids each got a ride with Brother Toone and his cool creation of the lawn mower pulling a wagon...it was a big hit.
As a whole we have more candy than we ever needed but we all know that in only a short time it will all have been eaten and not just by the kids. We had a fun and eventful Halloween.
