Halloween - 2011

We had 3 separate Halloween celebrations this year. First, on Friday we went over to Rob and at's house so Katie and Claire could play for a bit. Our intention was for the girls to go to the Pumpkin Patch but it was raining and about 38 degrees outside - so the Pumpkin Patch was OUT. It didn't matter because Katie and Claire had a good time just playing together at the house.

On Saturday, our church had "Trunk or Treat." Its basically trick-or-treating out of the trunk of church memebers' cars. Again, the event was moved inside the church due to the bad weather. Can you believe how many little ones there are at our church?!?!

Finally on Monday night, Katie and I headed out to brave - once again - the bad weather. Our neighbor Noah is one of Katie's favorite playmates and he and Katie hit "the hood" together (he's the red Elmo). We only made it to about 7 or 8 houses before heading back home. For the rest of the night Katie handed out candy to other trick-or-treaters. Unfortunately, some older kids in scary masks got the better of her and from there on she was happy to let mommy pass out the goodies.
