Happy Halloween

As life gets busier with two growing, curious toddlers it sure gets to be more and more fun. We had such a great time celebrating Halloween yesterday. It was a loooong day! The festivities started with a breakfast treat and continued late into the night. The kids had their first Halloween party at school and we participated in the family "Trunk or Treat" at Primrose. John did an amazing job transforming our swagger wagon into the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Honestly, trick-or-treating in the neighborhood was kind of a let down after the fun school event. It was super cold last night so we didn't last long ringing doorbells. Wow, we're tired today.

These are creepy fun

Wow, Elsa is everywhere with her pal Olaf these days.
The Great Pumpkin is certainly timeless.
Who knew there would be movies and popcorn at this event?

Go ahead Jack, Cookie won't bite your finger.
Trick or Treat
Well those are some sharp teeth and that's a creepy tongue.
Taking a break, checking out our loot.

How bout a TV dinner before neighborhood trick-or-treating?

Can I get any cuter?
What? My hands aren't that big.
Tried to a get a traditional front step pic but failed this year.
This is the best it gets.
Well, our jack-o-lanterns didn't make it this Halloween.
Lesson learned: Don't carve too far in advance when the weather is still warm.
Nanny J and Mr. Ronnie celebrated with us too.
She's helping us sort our goodies and open them for taste testing. 
Looks like we dropped a few and left them behind. 
Mr. Ronnie, there's a witch in this book. She made Halloween Pie.
