Last Saturday we went to Boo at the Zoo. It was a beautiful, warm evening. The girls enjoyed the decorations and Lily got her first taste of trick-or-treating (literally).
Then on Monday, Ava got to dress up for dance class. Go figure, she dressed up as a ballerina! We also carved pumpkins.
Wednesday I got to go with Ava on her school fieldtrip to the pumpkin patch. We learned about many, many kinds of pumpkins. Did you know there is a white pumpkin with white insides!
On Thursday I brought the girls to my school parade and party. Their costumes were a big hit! I have to give props to Daddy for Ava's computer costume. We went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood that night. Ava was a good sport in her costume, even though she could not reach her basket to put the candy in. Lily was a pro, toddling up to houses and saying "twick or tweat."
On Friday, Ava had her parade and party at school. Then we went to Premier for their Halloween party. This is where our beloved babysitter works. Ava won the costume contest for 2-5 year olds!
Saturday Ava got to go to her friend's Halloween birthday party. The Bug Guy was there showing the kids all kinds of creepy crawlies. Ava was the only one brave enough to actually EAT a fried cricket. Yes, you read that correctly. She ATE A BUG!!! I guess she was feeling the Halloween spirit.
I think on the actual day of Halloween we will be too tired to do anything!
