Halloween week

This week we spent out doing the necessary Halloween traditions that everyone else probably did, too. Our goal this week was to get as much mileage out of the kids Halloween costumes as we possibly could (since we spent a small fortune on them at Disneyworld, see post below). We took Hannah and Lucy to the Outlets for free trick or treating, costume storytime at the library, trunk or treat at church, dance class, and finally trick or treating. After trick or treating Friday, the girls asked if they could wear the costumes again for Halloween next year. Sounds good to me. Some highlights from the week:

Lucy racing Guocci on the 'Haytona Speedway' at the Pumpkin Patch. (The girls all argued over who would ride which of the identical tricycles).

Hannah and Lucy on the hayride back to the pumpkin patch.

Lucy 'picking out' a pumpkin. My favorite part of this clip is when she actually kicks the pumpkin before going on to another.

Hannah with our carved pumpkins. Hannah designed the pumpkin on the left She drew it out first on paper, and we were worried it wouldn't work on the pumpkin. We made the one on the right into a Domo pumpkin (sadly recognizable to those of us who spend too much time in Target).
We had spooky pancakes for Dinner on Halloween, since we like to really overdo it on the sugar!
The princesses getting ready to trick-or-treat. It was a bit chilly Friday night (50's), but the girls both refused to wear anything over the dresses to keep warm.
