Halloween Festivities

We kicked off our Halloween festivities with a party at little gym. Esme wore her "nice" cow costume to this party and had a great time. I think she made the cutest little cow ever!


Savannah was a dragon!


One of the little boys in Esme's old Little Gym class (the bugs) was at the party and he was dressed up like a chocolate chip cookie. I thought getting a picture of the "milk" and cookie together was a cute idea.


Ez and Savvy had Halloween snacks at the big kid table.


They sat in big girl chairs and everything!


Ez wondering when I am going to take away her usually forbidden treats...


That night, we carved pumpkins as a family. This was Stephen's first time and I think he did better than I did!


Esme really enjoyed playing with the pumpkin guts and even attempted to eat some!


Daddy working on his pumpkin (with Ezzy's help, of course!).



The end result...



The next evening, we went to a Halloween party at our apartment complex. I am nothing if not competitive, so I decided to put Esme in a second "naughty" costume in an effort to win the best costume prize at the party. It paid off.

Esme won first prize in the baby category for her Chucky costume.

The happy family


Esme was the belle of the ball. People thought she was a doll at first! It was said that the fact that she actually looks like a doll in real life made her costume extra frightening. We even had people on skype ask us to come into the computer lab so they could show their friends!

The actual night of Halloween was spent indoors handing out candy to trick or treaters. We didn't have many trick or treaters and we were left with a bunch of candy...someone has to eat it!

All in all a successful Halloween!
