TGI-over

Well, we had a fun, exciting, stressful Halloween week in our house. The girls mostly had a blast. I am glad it's over and yet have a bowl of candy the size of a small mountain. Granted, there were other things going on in "real" life (as opposed to "party" life) that contributed to the craziness.

It started last Saturday with the Apex Halloween Carnival at the community center. It is geared toward kids under 8, yet the time is always 2-4. So they knock out the whole napping crowd. I just took Sydney and Phil stayed home while Mollie slept. She decided to wear a cute witch costume that my mom had gotten to keep at her apt. for dress up clothes. She got to hang out with her BFF Matthew so it was a good time!
Tuesday a girl in Sydney's class invited us to a party at her house. It was huge! There were tons of kids there and food, crafts, games all over the place! It was somewhat chaotic, but a lot of fun. I forgot my camera for that one, but took this one before we left:
Wednesday was Sydney's Halloween parade and song performance at her school. She was really shy about all the people around and was not in the mood to smile for many pictures. She didn't sing either, but she had been singing all the songs at home so I had already heard her do it:) I love things like this!

Thursday we had our TH playgroup Halloween party at our friends Kim, Aaron and Sarah's house. That was more low key because it was all the kids we usually hang out with and very well organized.
Last night our friends the Wrights met us for trick or treating. Their oldest 2 are Sydney and Mollie's ages. Trick or treating was FUN. The girls all had a blast and didn't really complain about being cold. We went to Ms. Mary's house (Mollie's dance teacher) and about 1/2 the houses in this little circle of our neighborhood.
Now we get about a month reprieve before Christmas kick in full swing!
