Happy Halloween!

This was my favorite Halloween in a long time. It is so much fun when you have kids that like it! Daphne has known for months that she wanted to be a bat. And I must say, she makes a pretty cute bat!





For Daphne's school Halloween party Sophie was a witch (which was pretty funny since it was her costume from LAST YEAR - size 0-6 months!)



But she ended up being a bat when we went trick-or-treating.





My sister and her kids came to our house to go trick-or-treating. Chloe was a bat (what a surprise for our family!) and Phoebe was a pumpkin (albeit a crazy pumpkin!).

Here are a few (okay, more than a few!) pre-candy pix:













This was the first house that Sophie ever trick-or-treated at... she was pretty much set from then on. She got in the wagon and ate her Skittles! Then she just ate whatever candy she could get from the other girls (she ate right through the wrappers!) and she actually visited about 5 houses total. Some of the people were so nice, they actually walked down to the road to bring candy to Sophie. She loved it. But she didn't say 'thank you' until we were about 10 feet away from people!



Here are a few pictures of the trick-or-treating. The older girls RAN from house to house without a break for the first hour. Then they totally wiped out and all 3 of them wanted to ride in the wagon (Thanks again to Grandma and Grandpa Merrill for the great wagon!). Poor Sophie had to give up her spot and walk home!







Overall, the girls had a blast. We came home to find that Josh had already given away ALL 700 PIECES of candy away in the first hour so we turned out the light, kicked off our shoes, and ate some candy!
