Halloween 2009

The kids and I before the trick or treating began. That's my niece, don't you love the ears-hilarious! Bella is wearing the Tinkerbell costume Bella wore when she was that size. Jack is a Jawa, I thought about painting his face, but he wasn't really wanting me to.
After all the trick or treating. Jack and Bella still had a lot of energy. Sophie was pooped. She began the night running up to every door and yelling trick or treat before anyone answered. Then she whispered it once some one answered. She did always say thank you, so that was good. Bella wanted to be a peacock this year. I made a colorful dress and attached a bunch of tulle to the back. She was very excited about it. But what made the girls really excited, was the makeup. Bella had a painted peacock mask, and they both were covered in glitter powder.
The kids carved their own pumpkins. Bella's has the big nose, Jack's is on the top step. I had fully intended to make a witch's has for the greenish one. But I ran out of steam. Maybe next year. Jack's candy is over half gone. He has a bit of an upset stomach, but claims it was worth it. Bella will have candy for months to come. And Sophie's got all sorted, we didn't take stuff we knew she's like out, just stuff that she would probably choke on like taffy and Werthers and the like. She got some temporary tattoos and really loves those. Also a hit was the mini cans of play dough.
