Halloween

So we made it through the last couple weeks of October. We started the month off with a ridiculous amount of Halloween activities. Then it died down and picked back up strong at the end of October.

We carved one pumpkin. Sadie thought the pumpkin guts were gross. 

 Never got around to carving the rest of them. 

We attended Sadie's preschool Halloween party. She was happy to have a dress rehearsal with her costume. The wig was her favorite part. When we bought the wig it just happened to be the last Snow White one on display at Target that day. When a classmate of hers dressed up as Snow White but didn't have a wig, Sadie said, "It's because I got the last one!!"

 The preschool party was adorable, with cake walks, bean bag tosses, candy fishing, face painting, and more. Sadie got cotton candy, which is always the coolest thing in the world to her. 

Which brings us to Halloween. Sadie whined for 2 hours straight before trick-or-treating and I really didn't want to let her go at all. Daniel talked her (and me) off the ledge and convinced her to get into costume. I let Elise choose whatever dress-up she wanted and she chose Tiana. She actually told me all month she wanted to be Tiana, but I didn't believe she'd stick with it. 

 I neglected to take any photos while we were trick-or-treating. Sadie was a pro at it, but it took Lou a few houses to get it down. At the second house she tried to trade them the candy in her bucket for new candy. She was excited when she found out she didn't have to give people candy in order to get more. We made it to about 18 houses before both girls were spent. 

Sadie chowed down on candy when we got home. She was much more excited about giving candy out to trick-or-treaters than receiving it. She would sprint to the door and excitedly tell everyone they could have 2 pieces. Our neighbors told us to expect 300-400 kids. We got about 100. So who wants to come eat the extra 200 pieces of candy???
