Trick or Treat

This year,

Sara was a beautiful little Minnie Mouse.

She was so excited to wear Minnie's dress.

She went down for a nap

so Minnie could give her magical powers

to turn her into Minnie for the evening.

(Good thinking to get her to actually nap - daddy).

Sara first wore her costume

the day before Halloween

at Stepping Stone's for truck or treat.

She got to truck or treat

with Gunnar and Dallas

(the ninja turtles).

Checking out her treats

on the drive home.

On Friday evening,

Mr. Mason had a spooky bash.

He had yummy foods,

fun decorations,

and a game that involved eating a donut

off a string with no hands.

(Very funny to watch).

On Halloween,

Mama made a quick costume for Anna.

I wanted to be able to wear her in the Ergo

while we trick or treated with Sara.

Ta-da!  Popcorn!

The costume was a hit.

Cheap & easy to construct too.

She smelled like yummy popcorn all night.

Extra bonus for mama.

So many changes in two years.

Sara trick or treated Wheatfield

with Mr. Mason.

It was so neat to see

her actually keep up with him.

In the evening,

we went to another party

at Cory & Ann Marie's house.

Daddy was dressed as Mr. Derek

when Mr. Derek was 12 years old.

Mr. Derek loved it.

At the end of the night,

I took Anna out of the Ergo

and she laid on the floor

"stuck" in the Ergo position

for at least five minutes.

Overall, we decided 2.5y+ is the best age

for Halloween.

Sara did much better than last year

and had an absolute blast.
