We had a wonderful and very busy Halloween. We started with our usual early morning play date with baby Jack. Then we went to gymnastics, where Alia got to wear a costume. We decided on last year's dance costume because we thought it might be a little tricky to do all her moves in her mermaid outfit. Then we went to the kids school for class Halloween parties. Even though Halloween fell on a day that they don't normally attend school, all kids were invited! They enjoyed seeing all their friends in their costumes and then eating all the treats, of course!
For dinner we had pumpkin shaped pancakes and then changed into our costumes and headed out for a lap around the neighborhood to do some trick-or-treating. Max really loved ringing doorbells and picking out candies .. the "orange ones" (Reese's peanut butter cups) of course. He was ready to be home when we got there, but I think Alia could have done a bit more. She really enjoyed it! Both kids did a great job holding our hands, and saying please and thank you :-) We really had a wonderful time!
I included a few pictures of pumpkin carving too! Max was REALLY into it!
