Last Thursday was Halloween, in case you've been living under a rock and you weren't aware. I'm thankful that I had Thursday off, and I was able to spend the entire morning with Meggie at preschool for all of her festivities!
I never let the girls wear their real costumes to school in case they ruin it before trick or treating, so Meggie was Minnie Mouse at school. Our neighbor gave us this little Minnie Mouse dress, and it was perfect! We already had ears and a Minnie Mouse hair bow.
Her school had a little parade down the hallway and teachers were passing out candy. We got their right before the parade started, and Megan was totally confused as to what was going on. She really hates new situations and is slow to warm up, so that's why she looks so pathetically upset in the picture above.
Once she realized she was getting candy, she was much happier. The kids sat at the other end of the hallway and dug through their candy before heading back to their classroom. Then, they were able to eat a piece when they got back to class.
Then, we went to an indoor pumpkin patch. Usually, they set it up outside, but the weather had been rainy last Tuesday and Wednesday, so they did everything inside.
She also got a little pumpkin tattoo.
Then, had her picture made with the school pumpkins. She matched pretty perfectly.
This is her with the pumpkin she chose to bring home.
Then, we went back to her class and they had a party.
I had so much fun hanging out with her. I was the only parent that was there in the morning and only one other dad came for the actual party, so I was able to read the kids books and play with them. I had so much fun!
I brought both Addy and Megan home with me after Megan's party. I totally thought that Megan would take a good afternoon nap and that I could sew until Gretchen got home from school, and that totally backfired. Megan slept maybe an hour and it took her forever to fall asleep because she was on such a sugar high.
When Gretchen finally came home, I started getting the girls ready for trick or treating. Gretchen decided to be Sofia the First. This is the first year that I didn't make her costume. She told me that she was afraid I would mess it up. So, I ordered her a dress from the Disney store. I curled her hair and put a little bit of make up on her.
Megan was a witch. I made her a tutu dress and hat to wear.
Addy was also a witch, and she wore her costume to daycare, but I didn't get a picture. Then, she wet through a diaper and soaked her costume and it would've been too cold for her to wear it that night anyway, so I put her in this little witch outfit, that Gretchen wore for her first Halloween and I kept Addy's little witch hat on her.
Our babysitter texted me and asked if she could trick or treat with us, and I was so excited to have some help! I usually get the girls ready and we start trick or treating, and then DJ meets up with us in the neighborhood when he gets off work.
She came over and helped me get the last final touches complete on the girls costumes and then was able to take a picture of me with the girls.
Here's Addy bundled in the stroller before we left the house.
And the big girls with their buckets and our pumpkins in our front yard.
The very first house we went to.
Meggie walking to the next house.
I have to say that we have the best neighborhood. DJ and I really want to buy a house here in Tulsa, but I just cannot imagine living in a different neighborhood. Gretchen ran into a little girl that she met at the pool two summers ago, and they started trick or treating together. Gretchen talked about that little girl for months after the pool that summer and then we never saw her again. Turns out, we didn't see her this summer because her mom had a baby in June.
Gretchen had so much fun getting candy!
Meggie wanted us to go to the doors with her.
We ran into more friends and stopped to get a picture.
Toward the end of the night, we ran into Macy, a little girl that Gretchen took dance with two years ago. They're both in kindergarten at the same school, but they have different teachers, and the girls played together at the pool this summer. Macy had a few other little friends with her, so they all trick or treated together for a while!
We finally made it home after an hour and a half of trick or treating, and the girls dumped out all their candy to dig through!
It was such a fun and exhausting night! We still aren't caught up on our sleep! Hope you had a happy Halloween too!
