Halloween, halloween, Trick or Treat! Our costumes...

If you were able to complete the sentence that I used in my title and hum the tune that goes along with it then you will know that you have watched too much Dora Explorer. That line constantly has been going through my mind as we started the month of October and Ashlyn began her daily inquirey. "Is tonight Halloween? After I go to sleep tonight and then there's another morning and another night, is THAT Halloween?"
She was just too excited about dressing up and getting candy. Ever since we found some of Brock's old books and she found a couple Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle stories, she has been hooked on being Donatello for Halloween. Not only because Donatello uses a cool bo staff and is an inventor--his mask is purple, and that is her favorite color.

Candy brings our the best and the worst in everybody. :) Lara didn't know what it was, but boy she wanted some, but she had to be careful not to pounce on any of Claire's candy...the Grouchy Ladybug did not want anyone to touch her candy.

After our Halloween cookie decorating party at the Browns, the trunk or treat at the church and Trick or treating around my brother's neighborhood on Halloween night, we had the costume thing down, and Ashlyn had all the good poses. too fun.
