Halloween and surrounding activities

Halloween keeps getting more fun every year! We did a much better job this year at pacing ourselves with activities. Here are some hi-lights and costumes from this year:

Halloween day lunch:

Violet (cake-baker) and Daphne (cupcake) at the trunk-or-treat at the Ames' church:

Knock knock! Daphne learned how to say, "TRICK-OR-TREAT!" which she said as we were walking around. She Never said it at the door, but when we got home she fell asleep still saying her new favorite word.

Our neighborhood gave out really good candy, and a lot of it. We have to step up our game next year! All of this went to Erik's work...

Cupcake!

Baker! (Isn't she the coolest 4 y/o??)

Halloween dinner:

Did you notice that she wasn't wearing her cupcake costume in her trick-or-treating pictures? She absolutely hated it and I didn't want to ruin her night. Here she is as a very happy flower fairy, improvised from the dress-up bin.

We carved some pumpkins, too:

Pre-trick-or-treat (notice that Violet insisted on carrying her Mary Poppins carpet bag from last year, even though I had made her a flour and sugar sack for this year):

Happy Halloween 2012!
