Halloween 2012

We had a busy, but fun, Halloween.  The girls and I went to Grant's class in the morning, and I led the kids in two fun activities for their Fall class party.  Afterwards, the girls and I came home, had lunch, began getting ready for Halloween, packed up the car, and then went to pick up Grant from school.  From there we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to eat dinner, and then go trick-or-treating.  

 Grant was a viking, but he had to add a skeleton hand to make it at least a little bit scary, Johanna was Spider Girl, and Julia was an emerald fairy.

 Cousin Abby was an 80's aerobic instructor. How cute was that?!

What are we waiting for? Let's go!

  
Here is the pumpkin the kids and I carved based on Grant's design. It was supposed to be a Captain America theme, but the girls still wanted it to be a "cutie" pumpkin, so we added a "cutie" smile with one tooth.  We also put out the mummy lanterns we made earlier in the week.

It was a beautiful night for trick-or-treating.  Once we were done, the kids enjoyed a few of their goodies, then we changed them into their pj's and made the drive home. They all slept well that night, but Grant had a little trouble getting up the next morning for school.
