Halloween was during Fall Break this year, so on the last week of school, they hosted a trunk or treat. We arranged to meet our friends there. The weather was cold, but the kids still insisted on walking from car to car to collect their candy. After some rather steep bills at the dentist's office I confiscated everything that was more likely to cause candy. The kids had so much they didn't even mind! They might have been bribed as well....
Halloween day the weather was beautiful! We had arranged to meet some friends at Mile High Farms for the day.
We picked out pumpkins,
broke open a pinata,
and played with the animals in the petting zoo. Lila thought they were too loud!
Regan was thrilled when she saw snow cones and insisted we all get one. She loves them! I love that the weather was warm enough on Halloween for snow cones! We are definitely going back there again next year!
That evening a princess, hawaiian girl, and Jedi met up with the same friends for trick or treating. Bobba Fett had originally joined us, but I think Haden wanted to bring his light saber. He is a stickler for being as authentic as possible. Bobba Fett was not a Jedi, therefore, he could NOT have a light saber. Period. End of discussion. I've learned the hard way that he cannot be persuaded when he makes up his mind!
The older girls immediately took off together. We quickly realized that it was not feasible to keep all six kids together so we divided them up.
I got the two little girls. Many people asked if they were twins. Um, they are a year apart and short of both having blue eyes, look nothing alike. I guess it was dark? They are both super cute, though!
All three kids got loads of candy and had a fabulous time with their friends!
