Halloween 2009

Ok, these are mostly backwards because that's how blogger loads my photos and it's too difficult to move them all around. I'll just post a caption around each photo. This first photo is at the end of the evening. Lilly stayed the night at grandma and grandpa's house so Levi and I could go to a Halloween Party. Grandma and Lilly were getting ready to make popcorn.

Grandpa made Lilly giggle about something!

See, we let her eat some candy.

Showing me some candy.

Her basket of goodies amidst her golden eggs. (She was a chicken)

Out trick-or-treating. She walked a lot of the way but Daddy or myself had to occasionally give her a lift. She walks too slow.

Frolicking around grandpa's neighborhood.

This was actually the second house Lilly went to. We went to Kathy's (the babysitters house) but Lilly thought we were going to leave her there and she grabbed onto my leg and cried! Good thing I don't drop her off at Kathy's in the morning. I don't think I could handle that every day. Levi says she has never done that for him though. I WAS gone for three days this week so she might have been missing me still.

Here we are on the porch getting ready to go. We had to try out a piece of candy we were supposed to give out before we left. Wanted to make sure it was safe for the kiddos and all.....

Our little chicken before we left. She's holding her basket of golden eggs.

After trick-or-treating sorting through her goodies. We probably only went to 10 houses. People were generous! It was pretty chilly. Notice the red cheeks. She wore her jammies under her costume and the rest of her was sweaty when we took off her costume!

We carved our pumpkins earlier in the week because I went to the MANS conference for school Wednesday through Friday. Lilly had fun pulling out the guts. She ate the seeds fresh out of the pumpkin! Here they are on our front porch. We decorated the porch this year and put a spooky red and purple light in our porch lights.
Here are my kids from school. I was Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus books/tv shows. I won't tell you my students' names but I'll tell you what their costumes were instead. They are a pretty creative group of kids! From left to right starting at me:Ms. Frizzle, an end table, vampire, May and Desaray (those are the girls middle names and thier alter egos they've created for themselves. They write stories about themselves and stuff!), her dad (Roger!), Harry Potter, a mouse trap, a swan, werewolf, robot and just a 6th grader (he was going to go as a girl but he didn't enjoy wearing tights! Can you imagine!?)
