This is Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! Meli had a record of three costumes and they both made out like bandits as usual.

The celebrating started at Colin's school. My sweet mom came up to volunteer with me. This extra set of hands allowed me to take Meli; who did such a good job. I was surprised by that because she slept horribly the night before, which means mama did as well. I feel I managed very well with roughly 4 hours of sleep. After everyone was in their costumes, we walked to a nearby nursing home. Meli loved walking with the big kids! The elderly people enjoyed seeing the little kids. Once we got back the kids had library time. Meli got to go with the class. It was so sweet. When they got back we had all of the treats (a mix of sweet and healthy - which is the policy) ready. 

Colin was Wolverine and Meli was Aurora (her first pick).

Last it was time for the serpentine walk through all of the classrooms. Meli wanted to go so we went too. 

We got home and rested for a bit. This gave Meli the chance to change her mind  yet again. We were going to do a princess pirate (which was so cute) but ended up being a fairy (which was equally cute). Then we headed downtown for trick-or-treating. We love going down there because they close the streets off and all of the stores really get into it. 

Later, we ended up going around our neighborhood. This time Meli was Snow White as a blonde. At this point in the day she was not for posing. Actually, she was not for it all day. Every time I tried she would look away. Stinker.

The kids ran the whole time. They were exhausted by the end of the night....but were still up for handing out candy!
