Halloween Bonanza

We started our celebrations off with a trip to the library.

Anyone who showed up in a costume received a free book.

The Parade

Abby sucked her thumb the whole time, but she didn't cry!

The Party

Pumpkin Painting

Abby took a Jackson Pollock approach to her pumpkin.

Anne adds the final touches to her Gonzo style pumpkin.

We got "booed" this year and in our bag of goodies was a box of Halloween cupcake mix and icing with sprinkles. We had so much fun "booing" our neighbors.
Anne carried the Boo Bag ie. a bag full of Halloween goodies, to the front porch of our neighbors and then ran back to where Abby and I were waiting in the shadows. Then Daddy rang the doorbell and we all ran like bats out of the hot place.
Anne sprinkles.

Anne designed the face and I did the carving.

She wanted to make it extra spooky.

I can never get them to look at the camera at the same time.

Halloween Night

Let the fun begin!

Last year we made it to five or six houses total. I was expecting about the same results this year. Boy was I wrong! We spent two hours collecting candy, visiting every house in the neighborhood, and I think Abby would still be at it if we hadn't made her come home. Anne had so much candy that her bag nearly burst!
