Halloween Family Fun

The weekend before Halloween we carved 2 pumpkins without students! I loved this picture of Drew and Curtis together.

Kate had a specific idea for her pumpkin and insisted that the mustache must go above the nose. Here she is proudly displaying her final result:

Here is Anna's:

A sister picture!!

We went to a Trunk or Treat where we had better weather than it was forecasted for Halloween night. 

Buzz Lightyear, Ariel, "Rainbow Sunshine" unicorn

Our little Buzz discovered candy and he has been requesting it ever since!

Anna had some rainbow face painting!

Kate had a butterfly!

Fast forward to Halloween! It was the first snow of the season (and too soon, in my opinion). I took this picture while we were waiting for Anna to get home from the bus! You can at least see the snow in my hair.

And then the kids were ready with a few costume changes. Anna stayed the same, but Kate appropriately changed into Princess Elsa and Drew was Lion-O (our deceased pet cat).

We thought this costume would be warmer in the snow!

We took one outside for better lighting though the girls were done with pictures and ready to get candy!

Curtis and I took turns going up to the doors with the kids while the other person stayed warm in the van. It was very cold and most people decided not to trick-or-treat this year. The good news for us? We have more candy than we need! By the end, the girls stopped carrying their buckets because they were too heavy. Don't be surprised if we offer you candy for the next 2 months if you come to our house. ;)

It's been a little while, but here's one more comparison shot to show each child in the Lion-O costume on their second Halloween (2014, 2016, 2019). Drew's wearing a bowtie instead of the pink bow!
