Trick-or-Treat

Well...we did it! Somehow we squeezed in all of our Halloween activities into TWO jam packed days. Here is a recap!

On Thursday afternoon Kristi and I took the four girls trick-or-treating at my work! Here is Seville in what we now fondly refer to as her "generic fairy" costume. It is really from Gymboree, but when my Dad asked what they were I told him they were fairies and then went on to explain that Hadley was Tinker Bell and Seville, well, "she is a generic fairy from Gymboree!" He got the biggest kick out of that. To top it off her hair was looking a little extra crazy that day! The "big" girls in the spooky aisle near my office. Alyson was a UCM "Jenny" cheerleader!
Gracyn was the cutest little bumble bee! Everyone loved her outfit.
This is not a good picture of her by any means, but we have to save it for her when she is older. This in the elevator. I can't remember why she was mad, but I think it is too cute! I am sure her mommy doesn't! On Thursday night after dance and dinner we carved pumpkins. Hadley was way into it this year!
The girls didn't know what to think of the gross, slimy insides!

Seville wanted to be right in on the action of scooping out the insides.
What is in there?
Smile for Mommy!
Daddy's big helpers!
Daddy teaching them how to use the knives!Putting their listening skills to good use! (no, we didn't let Seville have the knife for long, and yes, we were right there!)
Now Seville's turn to smile for mommy!
Roasting pumpkin seeds in the over...a fond memory I have with my Dad!
Out of the oven with special seasoning! Yumm! Hadley loved them!
Hadley carving her own Jack-o-Lantern. She wanted a "classic" one!
Our non-classic skeleton pumpkin and the treats I made for Hadley's school!
Hadley so proud that her pumpkins are finally lit!
On Friday, Hadley got to wear her costume to school for their party. Notice how Miley Bear is dressed exactly the same. We found Miley's costume awhile back and even a little ghost treat bag like the one Hadley has had since she was one. That morning Hadley got the idea that Miley needed white tights like her, so we rounded up some of Seville's from last year. They worked perfect!
This is before trick-or-treating on Friday night. I rarely get pictures of them together. They are always going two separate directions!
Which one do you like better?
My little woodland fairy!
She loved her wings, but I don't know how...they were always in her face like that!
I am never in pictures with my girls so I made Scott take this. Too bad Seville is eating.
Which one of these do you like better? In this one she is trying to climb off my lap!
My other woodland fairy...
...peeking through the trees!
Off to trick-or-treat! Gam and Grampa came over to go with us!
Gam and her fairies! No one will believe this, but I really did not mean for them to both be fairies...let alone coordinating fairies. It somehow just happened! REALLY!
One of my favorites of the night!
At the neighbors!
Tinker Bell and Annie! This is Hadley's friend Abby from the street!
I just can't believe Seville is old enough to do this on her own this year!
Literally running to the next house!
Hadley too!
After trick-or-treating on our street we went over to Grandma Sue Sue and Grandpa Jim's. I had to catch this one of them holding hands really quick!
Hadley loved helping hand out candy!
Seville giving Sue Sue a kiss. So cute!
Want a bite!
Grandma Sue Sue and Grandpa Jim got them some fairy toys!
After Grandma Sue Sue and Grandpa Jim's we went to Grandma Pat and Grandpa John's!
Then we headed to Uncle Craig's. We had a great time and he and Shawn served us some AWESOME chili!
Hadley has always had a thing for her Uncle Craig!
Hadley, Uncle Craig and his dog Leeroy!
...and this one if for Susie...she has been needing a new screen saver and I thought this might just do the trick! I will send you the file, Susie!
