Happy Haunting






Halloween is not my favorite holiday.  Luckily, there are always fun things going on that we can participate in to make it fun for the girls.  This year, Emma and her friend planned a Halloween party for a group of their friends. They played the spider web game (pictured above); Halloween charades, Halloween "capture the flag", and decorated sugar cookies.  It was a perfect day to be outside, plus Emma's friends' yard provided plenty of room to fun around and get silly.  She also had a Halloween costume parade at school with a grade party later that I got to help with.  In between the parade and the party, we went to Brielle's preschool carnival where they sang songs, decorated cookies, and played some carnival games.  My mom made Brielle's Indian costume and I thought she looked so adorable! Emma had a hard time choosing her costume (partly because I thought a lot of the costumes were immodest for her age), so she finally chose a leopard girl.  On Halloween night the girls went around our neighborhood trick-or-treating with their friends and cousins. By the end of the night, their buckets were so heavy they could hardly carry them back to our house! A giant bucket of candy...what more could a kid ask for?
