Each year Halloween gets better and better with the girls. We had so much fun. I started prepping them for Halloween this year by reading Halloween books and talking about Halloween things. We painted pumpkins and they wore their "Pooky" (spooky) shirts. I did all of this so they would understand a little more about Trick or Treating and also so they wouldn't be so scared with the creepy Halloween decorations. They can now identify pumpkins, ghosts, costumes, spooky, shadows, skeletons, trick or treat, and treats.
I figured this may be the last year that I get to pick out their costumes. We went retro with an 80's theme. The girls were dressed as 80's Work Out Girls. I pieced together their outfits so they were coordinating but not matching. Headbands and sweatshirts were on and off all night but overall they stayed in character. In my opinion they were the cutest things ever.
Little Miss Sam was staying in character.
Hot pink lipstick for everyone.
Before it was time to Trick or Treat, we headed to the cul de sac for our Halloween block party. All the neighbors brought food and the kids played before we headed out to Trick or Treat in the neighborhood.
This Halloween marks about 1 year since we have lived in our neighborhood and we couldn't be happier about our decision to move here. The neighbors are awesome and they have been so welcoming to our family. Here are all the kiddos in their costumes.
Time for Trick or Treating. At first, they needed a little encouragement to go up to the doors. Sam loved it. She went to every house and got treats. Mallory decided how each house looked and based that decision on whether she would get out of the wagon to go Trick or Treat. Taylor stayed in the wagon most of the time and went to Trick or Treat a handful of times. By the end of the night, Sam was so comfortable. She was actually saying Trick or Treat and thank you at each house. I was very proud of her.
Her face is covered in chocolate, but I love this picture of Mallory and her Daddy.
After Trick or Treating, everyone came back to the cul-de-sac to roast marshmallows, eat candy, and play. The girls got to stay out late.
I'm so glad the weather cleared up for us to celebrate Halloween. The girls loved it and everyone had a great time.
