Happy Halloween!

Lauren has been SO stinkin excited about Halloween, and Yay that it is finally here! We started off out Halloween with the Down Town Lovell Trick-or-Treat on Friday night. As we started getting ready Sawyer would NOT get on her costume! I had a feeling she wouldn't earilier in the week when I tried to get her to try on the tutu I made - she was not having any of it. (yes, I made a tutu! I didn't realize how easy and cheap it is to make tutu's, and it was so fun and easy, that I made one for Lauren's costume also!) So that afternoon Lauren went as a cat, and Sawyer went as a Terrible Two year old!

Look at miss serious Cat Women here..

She was in a posing mood apparently, or else she was trying to be cat-like! I was having a hard time not laughing while I was taking pictures!!

 

This one is more Lady Lauren!

 

The next Halloween festivity was Lauren's Preschool Party! She was so excited and told me that they would get to party the whole time at Preschool, no "work!"

 

 

 

 

Lauren had a blast at her Preschool Party! She LOVES preschool, and her teachers, and friends! I am so grateful to live in a community where she can have such a great preschool!

 

 

When Lauren got home from preschool, we ate some dinner and headed over to the trunk-or-treat! Trying to be a sly as possible, I succeeded and got Sawyer into her costume! My mom had bought Sawyer's Lady Bug costume at Pamida when they were selling out all there stuff for cheap, and it ended up being too small for Sawyer. So I thought if I added a tutu it would work, and it did - but I think she looked more like a Strawberry than a Lady Bug! If Sawyer would have let me try the costume on all together sooner, I could have made a green tutu and she could have been a Strawberry :) But, she was a Lady Bug and it worked out just great!

 

Trunk-or-Treat is a great way to go when you have small kiddos, I think! You can get their buckets filled fast, and then have time to go show off the kids to their Grandma's and Grandpa's!

Erik has a different job (same company), and now he works straight days (instead of a continuous work week) and this was his first Halloween to go trick or treating with the girls! 

We visited Great Grandma Allred, and I forgot to get a picture with her! Then we visited Great Grandma Fran! (and my camera has been taking very blurry pictures lately, and of course I figure out the problem when I get home Halloween night, and have a camera full of blurry Halloween pictures! Oh well, you get what you get and you don't throw a fit, right?!) 

 

 

 

Sawyer was so sweet, she didn't want to leave Grandma Fran!

Erik was set on doing some door to door trick-or-treating, so we went around Cowley to a few places, and then headed to Lovell to visit the Grandparents there! We had a fun night trick-or-treating, the girls ate too much candy - and they still are eating too much candy. I just try to remind myself that I probably ate too much candy during Halloween when I was younger and I made it through ok!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!
