The weekend before Halloween, the kids went to the fall carnival together Bella at their school. All the activities, games, and food were outside on the playground and they all ran around in their costumes having a great time.
Holly used her game tickets on a pony ride and face painting instead of the carnival game booths.
She looked lovely with her face painted and wearing her Little Mermaid Ariel dress.
Since Halloween was on a Wednesday this year, it was my day to work the morning shift at the dental office. My friend Rebecca and I decided to make the best of it and dressed up as the "sunrise special" and wore our bacon and eggs costumes. Luckily I was able to use the kid's pretend grocery food to make accessories and jewelry for us. We were a success in getting a laugh from our coworkers and even won 1st place in our costumes contest!
Once I was home from work we got to work carving pumpkins. This year the kids picked out an Angry Bird template book for the patterns, so we had Angry Bird pumpkins!
These cute pet costumes were on sale for only $4.00 each, so YES, I did make my poor dogs dress up too!
Halloween night the kids did a great job canvasing our neighborhood and depleting the local candy supply. We joined our neighbor Andrew (Superman) and Holly decided to wear her honey bee costume and they went trick-or-treating. They collected so much candy that they had to stop back by the house to empty their bags before heading out for more. Just what we need....enough candy to last the next 12 months!
