Carving them. For the first time they actually cleaned out their pumpkins themselves - yay! And even convinced me to carve one of them themselves. They drew the face and carved most of it with just a little help at the end.
The finished product - not too shabby!
The costumes - Maya chose to be Batgirl and Laurel picked Applejack (one of the My Little Ponies). Big HUGE thank you to Grandma Jean who helped pull together Laurel's costume. She had a VERY particular vision of what it would look like and was really vocal when we didn't do it quite right. But, with her help we managed to make something she loved.
Trick-or-Treating. My work did a big Halloween party for the kids and the girls had a great time trick-or-treating, playing Halloween games, going through a very tame haunted house and decorating cookies. It was a blast!
And then we once again ventured to the Joneses where the kids had a BLAST running from house to house (literally). For the first time they were all old enough to go up to the doors themselves and it was pretty fun to be able to hang back and watch from the street.
