Halloween was kind of a big deal in our house this year. Haley was really excited about it and when I asked her what she wanted to dress up as, she knew. A pirate. With a sword. Emily was just excited that she got to wear more beads.
The week of Halloween fun began with the Fall Fair that the base puts on. There was pumpkin decorating. Haley created a very silly pumpkin.
And Emily was quite content just holding hers.
And Emily fell in love with a turtle.
There was even a hay ride and somehow (a miracle!) we managed to get a picture of all four of us!
Next up was the girls' school pumpkin patch. Emily was in serious mode. She wasn't very sure what to make of it all.
There was a cute little parade where all the kids marched around in their costumes. Then there were Halloween stories and songs. Haley was just excited that she got to wear her costume to school with her friends.
Then came the pumpkin carving. Haley was beyond ready to dig into that pumpkin. She loves getting in there and making a mess.
Even Emily got into it a little. She mostly played in the rocks while the carving was going on, but she did stick her hand in the pumpkin a few times to see what was in there.
Finally, it was time for trick or treating. Our street doesn't get many kids, so we only planned on going to three or four houses. The girls looked so cute in their costumes (even with Haley's pink sparkle shoes).
After an exhausting night of asking a few people for candy, Haley was able to kick back and relax while sucking on her lollipop.
It was a great holiday this year, but I am happy to say it's over!
I love it!
