Happy Halloween!

We had a GREAT day yesterday. First off, it was Nevada Day (where we celebrate the freedom to play slot machines in the grocery store. Thanks Nevada!!!) Grandma, Grandpa, AND Daddy were all home to play. We did some chores in the morning & then around 2p.m. we couldn't put it off any longer. We had to start getting ready. Ella has been excited about her Ariel costume for WEEKS, so we put that on & got her hair all pretty.



The pearls in her hair are from a vintage thrift store necklace that fell apart. Plus some new jewels from our stash.





We went outside to take pictures with baby sister. Baby sister would be excited about her costume if she knew how cute she looked.



Ha ha! Something is hilarous! Maybe baby's eyebrows?



Dread Pirate Gretch commands you to give her candy!!!



OH MY GOSH! We're really get to carve pumpkins?

Yes, dear, we do. This is a "Baby Witch" pumpkin, design by Ella. She's available for commissions.



Dad helped with the hard parts.



Then we went to our friends house & had a lovely dinner of stuffed pumpkins (which the kids all thought was gross but the parents all thought was divine) and home made bread. By this point Ella & her BFF decided to switch costumes. We thought maybe they'd switch back...



But they didn't...



Left the Right: Snow White, Ariel, Towel Monster (her idea, very creative), Capn' Jack Sparrow



Arrrrgh, I want to get candy!



The other dad was a SPACE MAN. And yes, he made his costume. And yes, it was awesome...



The "practice" trick-or-treat. Ella is so happy. She get's candy at every door? AWESOME!!!
