Happy Halloween!

So this is super late, but better late than never right?  I am sure that you will love the cute costumes that the girls wore for Halloween.  Once again we had a fun, but packed day. We started off by having a Halloween party with Ashlyn's preschool class. 

 Bean intent on decorating her cookie!

 I think this is such a sweet picture...She is so aware of prayer now! 

 Perfectly decorated cookie!

Me and my two sweet girls!

Later in the day, right after Kelti's nap we got her costume on, picked Ashlyn up and headed into Brian's office to do some trick-or-treating there.  Seemed like everyone really enjoyed the girls and the their trick-or-treating. 

 Cinderella and Ariel! Enjoying the pumpkin cookies daddy gave them!

 Here's a smile from Ash, but obviously Kelti loved her cookie too much to smile :)

Here is a great Ash smile!  Love her!

After they filled their little buckets at daddy's work the three of us girls headed to the Country Village.  They were able to once again fill their buckets!!  (Yeah, more candy for mommy and daddy to sneak!! :) ) They had lots of fun going around and seeing all the kiddos and grown-ups dressed up for Halloween. 

 Ready to hit up all the Country Village stores!

Kelti carried this Snickers bar with her the entire time, she didn't ask to eat it, but she needed to hold onto it while we were trekking around.

We headed home to eat some dinner and go out in our neighborhood with daddy.  Once we all had some healthy food in our tummies we headed out and once again.....filled the buckets...and of course we didn't even go to all the houses in the hood, but when multiple neighbors give out full size bars it is not too hard to fill the buckets.  A couple of my favorite parts from the evening. 1.  Ashlyn remembering how it worked last year and "teaching" Kelti all the rules.  2. Kelti (as always) being the most polite little girl saying trick-or-treat, nice and clear (with a huge smile) and then taking the candy and turning in a circle in the attempt to get it in her bucket....this was sooo adorable! :)  After all the candy gathering and sorting both girls only ate one piece of candy.....that is some good self control......maybe I could learn from them???

 Daddy is a great trick-or-treating buddy!

 Look, look, look another snickers bar...hmm again she carried it the whole time!

Also in this pic you can sorta see that she is holding her bucket in the crook of her arm, this is largely why she was turning in circles to put her loot in the bucket, she couldn't reach very well!

A momma picture too!

Here are a few of our decorations too!

 Front door with my cute signage and spider webs the girls made.

 Drilled pumpkin.  I got this idea from pinterest, but I totally went small on the drill holes, next year, I will go BIG! 

Another pinterest idea, I think these turned out great! The girls loved them and we got lots of compliments on how cute they were from trick-or-treaters!

 Some more decorations, from pinterest! Love me some Pinterest :)

Close up!

 

Oh, and I already have the costumes for next year...Thank you day after sales! :-)  Ashlyn requested to be a witch and Kelti chose a flying horse costume!  I think they will both be happy with their costumes next year! :)
