The month of October was a blast!
The girls really got into it this year with visits to the Pumpkin Patch with friends and again with family. They LOVED decorating the house for Halloween. Hayden walked out almost every day from her nap and said "Look at all the Halloween decorations!" They loved driving by houses with pumpkins and scarecrows in the front yard and of course got very excited for this thing called Trick or Treating.
So, when the big day arrived the girls were prepped and ready to go. They still didn't completely "get it" but they had their bags and knew that we were going to visit our neighbors. It did not take long for them to figure out that when they pushed the door bell and said trick or treat something would get deposited in their treat bag. We had our friend Catherine "The Frog" Drain with us and I think we hit about 12 houses. The girls were ready for more having fun (and getting a little nervous) when they saw people all dressed up. I think the parents were the ones who were ready to call it quits. Plus, we had to get back to our house so that we could answer the door for our trick or treaters.
I have to say, that was one of my most favorite parts of the whole thing. EVERY time the doorbell rang Hayden would perk up, open her mouth wide and say "Ohhh, who's that???" She would run to the door, help open it and proudly comment on all the costumes. We were very excited to see Cinderella visit us and some other witches. Mom loved the homemade Whoopee cushion. The neighborhood was full of kids and we ran out of candy at 8pm, thanks to Jonas letting a bunch of 12 year old boys "take as much as they want." But we had a blast and the girls fell asleep dreaming of tricks and treats! It just keeps getting better and better!!!
Here are some pictures of the fun we had during the month of October...hope you all had a great Halloween!!!
