Trick or Treat

Halloween 2009 (our last one with 3 ballerinas)

Happy Halloween!!!

Trick or Treat fun

Trick or treat was a lot of fun this year. We ended up going twice (not counting Trunk or Treat). Lauren's teacher had invited them to go trick or treating at her house. There was a big mix up on the dates. Her teachers lives in the same school district as she teaches in but all of her students live in a different city from that school district yet attend that school district. This led to the city that the school district is in having Trick or Treat on Thursday while her student's Trick or Treat night was not until Friday.

So, we dressed and loaded up all the kids to go Trick or Treating at Lauren's teacher's house. Of course, after you have just done all that prep, you don't just go home after one house.

Tonight was our neighborhood and we ran into a friend from school and did our neighborhood. Poor Ellie's wings were drooping and she was just ready to go home. Shannon had a great ride in the wagon and didn't make a peep because she had a "nummie" in both hands.

The night was finished off with pizza. Don't worry kids most of the candy goes to mommy's work on Monday.

Riding in style

Got our costumes

The girls are very excited about Halloweeen. Well, Lauren and Ellie are, Shannon's just excited because they are. Lauren is going to be Belle, Ellie will be Tinkerbelle, and I think Shannon will be Cinderella

We were discussing how I'm going to take out the wagon so Shannon could ride in it when we go Trick-or-Treating. I asked Ellie if she would like to ride too. She thought about it and said very politely "No, thank you mommy". I told her it would be a far walk.

At that point, she stuck her hand on her hip and said "No, Mommy I have wings, I going to fly"

I could see the wheels turning in her head as she imagines herself flying around the neighborhood.

I might have to go check on my ER coverage. I see another visit in our future.
