Halloween - It Has Multiple Parts

We were very worried that this would be the first Halloween David would not get to be off from work. That's of course the regular problem with working his schedule for over 5 years now! 23rd - I took the girls to the YMCA for their fun family carnival (I think they are too big now). For that event, Kierstin dressed as the daily Cinderella (you know slave to the evil stepmother and sisters) and Adrienne dressed as Felicity the American Girl. 24th - PTA Carnival at the school. Ok should have pictures but since I stayed and set up and asked dad to grab the camera it didn't happen. We had the camera with us all night long but never stopped to take a picture! Dang it!! Adrienne dressed as a 50's girl and entered the costume contest. We even made a spider cake for the Cake Walk that was desired by several kiddos (it made me happy to know people thought it was cute). We had a good time but worked our butts off before and after. 31st - We didn't know until 7:30 the night before that David would be off so I planned a very low key night. Friends were having some people over and we decided to Trick or Treat to their part of the neighborhood and then stay put. We ran into The Brock's so we had treated together, along with Rylee whom we borrowed from the King's while the little ones got ready. The Fun Cul de Sac did the usual set up: Haunted House (which neither girl entered but dad enjoyed), Concession type goodies for any and all who wanted, Hayride (long lines to do but love that they continue doing it for free), and candy. We had dual witches (finally been trying to get that as a costume for years now) and didn't get home till late.
