Trick or Treat

We ended our pre-Halloween activities with a party at My Gym. It was fun to see the teachers dressed up. The girls had fun playing around and it gave us a chance to give the costumes a test run.



Halloween night we headed over to the Andersons down the block, and our gang headed out. We canvased quite a bit of the neighborhood ending at our house. The girls got quite a haul. Before we ended up at the house, we had 2 kids come by. TWO. Then we had 7 (we picked up a couple other neighbor kids along the way). And a couple more neighbor friends stopped by after that. I think our grand total was about 15. I think next year maybe we won't hand out candy and then both Andrew and I can go trick or treating with the kiddos.




I love this picture of little Claire. She looks so NOT thrilled to be in the frog costume. But she held on to that trick or treat basket for dear life. She wasn't going to lose any of her candy.

How cute are they?--Ella, Isabelle, Hope holding Claire, Lily

We headed over to my dad's house after that to help my step-brother Sam celebrate his golden birthday. The girls did one more round of trick or treating with Daddy and B-pa. Then we trouped into the car and headed down to Cedar Rapids for a visit with my mom and Dave.
