Okay...I promise that this is my last Halloween post. I know there have been a significant number of them between the pumpkin patch trips and the numerous fall festivals, but what can I say...I love this holiday!! You should all just be glad that I had to work on the day of her school party or that would have been another Halloween post. Today is actually Halloween and we went to Kids Fest in the downtown city park with Hanna, Chris and Anna and Ramsey, Robin and Marley. Unfortunately, it started to rain right when we got there. Lily played in the bounce house some, got her face painted, got a balloon animal, played the fishin' game and danced some and then we left. We all came back to our house to eat pizza and go trick-or-treating. Well, everyone went but Robin and I--we stayed behind to pass out candy, which was a job in itself--I didn't expect quite so many trick-or-treaters...we would have run out of candy if the kids hadn't come back when they did so I could steal some of theirs to hand out. Everyone said the kids had a great time trick-or-treating--all 3 girls would go to the doors and actually say "Trick or treat!" Lily has been looking forward to this for weeks so I'm glad she had a great time! The first thing she said when she got up this morning was that she wanted to go trick-or-treating!
As you saw in my previous post, the costume that I bought for Lily is a super cute witch costume. However, she has a princess dress in her dress-up basket that was $2 at Garden Ridge that she really wanted to wear for Halloween. So of course, we let her and she was very happy to be a "princa" as she pronounces "princess".
At Kids Fest, in the rain.
To stay dry (and because Lily loves to dance) we went under the gazebo for a bit to dance. Lily loved it until a kid in a very scary zombi-ish costume showed up to dance as well. Lily didn't like his costume one bit and wanted nothing to do with him. I can't say I blamed her.
