Halloween

I didn’t think Anna could draw a face, I handed her an erasable marker just thinking she would scribble on the pumpkin while I got ready. When I came back to look, there was this cute face; I was so surprised, so I carved it!

We made Halloween crafts one morning. The witch we made would fly to a different wall every morning! The girls would wake up and run out to see where the witch had moved to. It even flew to Nana’s house one morning; silly witch! And some more carving pics.

I had the cutest little frog for Halloween. She kept pointing to her frog costume and saying, “frog!”

. I had both girls practice saying, “Trick or Treat, Thank you,” all week long so they were ready for the big night. Elise would pitter patter following Anna up to each door. After the first door we went to Anna realized she got candy for trick or treating, she got so excited she giggled and yelled, “I love candy, this is soooo fun. Let’s go to the next house.” Whenever Elise saw a a Halloween decoration she would point at it and say, “witch or ghost, or pumpkin.”We stayed at my mom’s house for Halloween since Kent was out of town.

Anna’s favorite part was not the trick or treating, it was passing out candy. She got even more excited about that. When she heard the door bell ring she would jump up and run as fast as her legs would carrier her to the door and put candy from the bowl into all the trick or treater’s bags. For a long time she wanted to just sit on the porch with the bowl on her lap waiting for the dressed up kids to come by.

We had fun decorating Nana and Papa’s house with cobwebs. The girls loved it and Papa was prompt to take it down when Halloween was over. I think he thought it was too scary for his house :) We also had fun at my parents Halloween neighborhood party

Here is a video of Anna singing her Witch song.
