We kicked off the day's festivities by attending a little carnival put on by Lizzie's Brownie troop where the kids decorated mini pumpkins, . . .
ate donuts off a string . . .
played ghost in the graveyard (skinny little Liz had to keep tugging up those pants) . . .
won cupcakes at the cake walk . . .
and just chilled in our costumes.
Undoubtably influenced by Lizzie's witch costume, Alaina wanted to be a "scary toothfairy" and asked for eye makeup. The eyeshadow and mascera didn't even make it to the party since Laines cried herself silly on the way over (b/c I insisted she wear a seatbelt and not just "hold on tight").
In the evening we went trick-or-treating. It was fun and we are really happy to live in an actual neighborhood now where we can do this classic childhood things.
We tagged along with the other families ont he block (the kids didn't look at me once, darn it).
Half-way through Drew turned back with the little ones, while Liz and I soldiered on. We didn't even go to every house and we ended up with SO much candy (too much candy). Before we left Alaina insisted on wearing a witch hat (she wanted to be a "scary toothfairy witch") so eventually we ended up carrying around two hats full to the brim with candy in addition to the girl's treat buckets.
