Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween! Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween. We all had a wonderful time, especially now that they understand trick-or-treating. We kicked off the day with the neighborhood Halloween party where the kids' costumes were a hit! Thanks mom, for making their amazing outfits! Eva was so excited to be Jasmine, and for Dylan to be "Elvist". They enjoyed decorating pumpkins, playing games and getting sprayed with silly string. That night, it was fun watching Eva show Dylan how to trick-or-treat. After a few houses he got the hang of it and was running up to the doors. Many of our neighbors go all out and make their own haunted houses...I'm doing good to set out a few pumpkins. :) Eva preferred to skip the "tricks" this year, but Dylan is still young enough that he didn't mind walking through the "Thriller graveyard" to meet a Michael Jackson giving out treats (who by the way, was honored to meet "The King of Rock and Roll") Once we returned home, the kids were just as excited to pass out the candy as they were to receive it. Much fun was had by all. Eva is already planning her costume for next year, "a princess with a blue dress." I said "oh, Cinderella." She said "No, mommy. A princess with a blue dress." Ah, I stand corrected.
