The girls had three (!) opportunities to wear their costumes this year: Wednesday night Small Group at church, Story-book Character Parade at school, and then actual Halloween. For Halloween we, as usual, went to our church for the 'Great Pumpkin Party' (The girls felt very cool being able tell everyone that it was their daddy driving the tractor for the hayride). This year I even caved and took the girls (by myself!) to a few neighbors for trick-or-treating afterward. Talk about an activity that goes against pretty much everything I like/am comfortable with (knocking on people's doors, asking for things, talking to strangers, being in any way scared or surprised, walking around outside after dark etc) - but it was worth it to hear lil Jo saying 'tick-r-teat!' And the girls said trick-or-treating was their favorite part of the evening. Guess we'll have to do it next year too....
Here's the before pic:
We even managed to make it to school on time today! :)
