Halloween



We had a lot of fun festivities for Halloween this year.  From school and church parties to pumpkin carving and trick-or-treating, I was wiped out at the end of October!

Allison had many costume changes.  She wanted to be something different at each event.  Luckily these were all costumes we already had.

Allison as a black cat for her preschool party:




Church "Trunk or Treat" and chili cook-off (which I didn't win and I am still a little bitter.) 
 Allison and Corinne went as '80's punk rockers, Matthew was a soccer player, and Shane was a clown:







Pumpkin Carving 
(Corinne wanted a cute one, Allison wanted a scary guy, and Matthew wanted something creepy and cool):



Allison had a preschool field trip to Cornbelly's and I got to go help out:








And finally, Trick or Treating!! (Allison was Cinderella this time.)
 



I took Allison back to Cornbelly's with Corinne and Matthew right after Halloween. 
It was a beautiful warm day and not too crowded.  We had a lot of fun.




I am also the room mother for Corinne's class and I had to plan her class party too. Whew! It was a busy month! (And the day after Halloween, Shane got the stomach flu which we passed around for the next two weeks.  Fun times!)

Such fun pictures. Allie and all of her costumes made me smile. Sydney did that one year, I think when she was 5. Whatever makes them happy! I've wanted to go to Cornbelly's every year, but have never quite made it. It looks like it would be fun to make a priority to get there next year. I think you were smart to go right after Halloween. I didn't even know they were open afterwards. Maybe we can do a cousins meet up there next year.
