The Barbies needed costumes too...what you get when you have a artistic daddy and cups nearby...
The week of Halloween was a crazy one. We started out the Halloween celebrations by going to the girls' dance party. For this party they decided to go as Brave:
And a Witch:
We were supposed to go to a church Halloween party but none of the girls were feeling well and Kim had a HORRIBLE diaper rash that wouldn't let her sit down. Needless to say, we passed up that party. After everyone was feeling better, we mixed up a batch of sugar cookies. Nothing beats my Grandma's sugar cookie recipe. Add in 101 cookie cutters for all occasions and your guaranteed a awesome treat!
Tuesday, Taylor had her 2nd grade music program. The songs were Halloween themed and all the kids wore costumes...she decided to wear her brave costume again. She did such a good job. Kadie sat on the floor in front of our chairs to watch, and Kim had to be just like her so she did too. They sat really good for the program.
Earlier in the week, Taylor's class had the chance to sing a few of the Halloween songs on the local radio station! Here they are singing one of their songs:
Since we missed the church trunk-or-treat, we promised the kids we would do the down town trick-or-treat. They block off the main street and the businesses hand out candy. We ended up with a ghost, a fairy, and a princess for this occasion. Kim enjoyed the whole experience and was really good at asking for treats and holding up her bucket.
Halloween was also Lee's birthday. Happy Birthday Honey! He had the pleasure of sitting outside our business and handing out over 1000 pieces of candy to the down town trick-or-treaters while my mom and I took the girls around. (It's quite the town affair.) Taylor hopped in front of the picture I was taking of him. You can see part of our business behind Lee.
