Happy Halloween

 We didn't go all out with our pumpkin carving design this year. The girls were eager to help out and yet extra grossed out at the slimy innards too! So it was more of a sensory activity than artistic portrayal but fun nonetheless. And judging from their expressions, I'd say they enjoyed the experience!

We had a great time trick-or-treating tonight and I dare say the girls did amazing for it being their first real time! After a couple of houses (to familiar neighbors) Savannah and Lexi got over their fear of door knocking and then were running from house to house collecting the goods. A funny issue was that many folks hold out a bowl full of candy and ask for the girls to pick their favorite. To which Savannah would pick out 3-4 pieces of her favorites. We would reinforce the "choose just one please" and she would respond "but I'm choosing my favorites!" Our neighbors thought that she was too cute. That's the issue. Our girls are too cute so they got away with stealing. lol.
The girls costumes were a hit. Savannah dressed as an American Idol and even performed a few requests for extra candy! And Lexi was a fun little kitty cat. (Personally I think her costume kinda resembled an 80's rocker with a cat tail and ears!) The important thing is that the girls were happy dressing up and they looked adorable right? It was a fun evening out for sure.

Singing "Amazing Grace" for our neighbors the Thains  :-)
