Halloween 2013!

Thursday, Oct. 31st was a very big day.   As in, almost as big as Christmas morning.  First, Lila got to put on her beautiful Belle dress and wear it to school.  She found the cutest little Red Raider in her class!

That afternoon, I helped get her room ready for their Halloween party.  First, they made these spooky ghosts...

then they got to chow down on a creepy popcorn hand and two frosted cookies.

After one more activity it was story time.  Ms. April read one story and then Lila insisted that she read Room on the Broom that we had brought from home.  It's a little long, but she loved it, and all of her sweet classmates listened to it so well.  What a difference between this class and Jackson's, when he was three years old.  That class was crazy, with a capital C!



The kids who were still dressed up even posed nicely for us.  That never happened in Jackson's boy-filled class!



After leaving school, we went by and picked up big brother.  He was excited to see how I had decorated our orange-frosted brownies.  You can never go wrong with candy corn:)

A few hours later, the cutest Pink Lady EVER arrived!

Love it.

After and early dinner, Belle, Sandy and Floyd Mayweather Jr. were ready to get some candy!

Not exactly a "tough" face, but he does look pretty fierce.

"Now gimme some candy!"

On second thought, he's not such a mean guy.

All four grandparents came over to see the kids in their costumes.

Before long, a gang of trick-or-treaters had assembled in our cul-de-sac.  The kids took off with Dad, Boom and Poppi trying to keep up.  By all accounts, they had a fantastic night.  They got to see lots of cool halloween decorations and even went through a maze at Coach Byron's house.  Lila said it was spooky, but she wasn't afraid.  She said there was a ghost and spiders, "but they weren't real." 
Brave girl!

A little after 8, we heard a familiar knock on our door.  The little monsters had come home!  And boy oh boy did they get lots of candy.  Happy Halloween from our fam to yours!
