Trick or Treating

Ah Halloween. What could be more fun than dolling your kids up in costumes, painting their faces, and making them walk around for hours in the cold, begging strangers for candy? Since Lynette is now three we decided to take her out for her first honest-to-goodness Trick-or-Treating debut. It was a big hit. We were out for about an hour and after the first house she really got the hang of things. She loved going up to each house calling "Trick-or-Treating" we thought it was so cute we didn't correct her. A lot of the people thought it was cute too and she got a couple extra pieces of candy for just being adorable. We made sure she said 'thank you' everytime, although that was harder for her to remember. Poor little Pirate Trevor was in the stroller the whole time and was chilly but behaved pretty well the whole evening. It was a good time had by all, especially the eating of the candy afterward. Can't wait for next year.

Our little Pirate Trevor held by Aunt Rebecca. Sadly I couldn't seem to keep his eyepatch on long enough to get a picture of it.

Cold but happy.

Our little fairy. I'm not that great at art (at all) so her facepaint is a little funky but she's still pretty cute. I was very proud of her hair though, braided into a crown by yours truly. Lynette especially loved it when I put mascara on her- just like mom!

What a trooper. Nice pirate pants.

One day I'll figure out how to get this girl to smile for the camera.

Wings pinned to her coat. She loved them.

Ready for fun.

I went as a witch...again. I don't know if I'll go into too much effort coming up with a new costume for myself every year. Being a witch is good enough for me- although I try not too go overboard on the green pain next year. And I really ought to get a hat that fits.
