Halloween

Moving on to Halloween - 2013.

Getting caught up still.

We carved pumpkins.  Tradition every year.  It's fun.

 

She did one pumpkin with stickers...

All of them - mine is the generic one with the face.  I like the basic pumpkins with a face of some sort.  Old school.  Erik's is the one on the far left.  Elaina's is the far right

Halloween night - trick or treating in our neighborhood.  It was perfect.  Elaina was a mermaid (she would say Ariel - same difference)

We went with our new neighbors - they have a 3 year old, Grace. Elaina and Grace have become fast friends.  We have enjoyed them as neighbors

We also went with our other neighbors (who also happen to be my cousins...this is Brooklyn, my cousin's daughter.

Elaina walked away from every single house with a full report on the exact candy bar she got...exciting stuff.  One house in our neighborhood gave out those huge pixie sticks AND a regular sized candy bar to each kid.  Crazy!  Needless to say they had a line at their house.

Trick or treating was fun - the only down fall is that where we live, we got no trick or treaters ourselves and Elaina LOVES to "sell candy" (as she puts it). So, she was sad about that.  But, maybe as more houses are built on our end of the road we'll get more trick or treaters.  I enjoy seeing all the kids in costume too.
