Happy Halloween!

Here's the big Halloween recap. It's been a long week full of lots of fun. Laina has had a lot of opportunities to dress up in her costume. I think Laina has enjoyed it all but is probably ready to move on to the next holiday!

Laina dressed up as a dancing fairy. When I asked her over the summer what she wanted to dress up as for Halloween, she told me "a dancer" so that was the plan. But then her outfit turned out to be the outfit she wears every week for dance class so I decided we should spruce things up a bit. We added a crown, a wand, fairy wings, sparkly silver ballet flats, some hot pink lipstick and glitter makeup to her face and there you have it - - - our dancing fairy!

We went to a Halloween party at the YMCA last Friday night.
They had a cute craft area where Laina made a fun ghost painting.

They also had hayrides that took you over to "trunk or treating" where people decorated their cars and passed out candy from their trunks.
Each car was decked out in a different creative theme!

Last Saturday night we attended Pumpkinfest.
The town lines the streets with tons of carved pumpkins
and all the area businesses hand out candy to the kids.

Laina with a bunch of cool pumpkins carved by some of the area school kids.

On Halloween Eve Laina and Daddy carved our pumpkin.
Laina wasn't too fond of scooping out the pumpkin guts!

Daddy's masterpiece!

Ohhhhhhh, spooky!

On Halloween morning we frosted and decorated
the brownies we baked for Laina's school party.

Here is Laina playing Halloween BINGO with her friends at school.
Antonio won the 1st round and Laina won the 2nd round.

And here she is playing
"Pin The Stem On The Pumpkin" at the party.

In honor of my little fairy, I put together a fun gift bag for Laina filled with
Tinkerbell goodies, including the new movie which just came out this week.
Here is Laina opening her gift before trick or treating.

Here we are Trick or Treating at our next door neighbor, Robin's house.

After the fun, back home, exhausted!

And now we're ready to snuggle on the couch and watch the
Tinkerbell movie with mommy in her skeleton gymmies.

Whew! And now its all over! All in all I think Laina had a great time. Today was a long day with lots of sugar, no nap, a lot of activity and a long movie at the end of the night.
Laina was pretty wiped by the end of the day.
Hopefully we tire her out and she sleeps in for daylight savings this weekend!

We hope you all had a Happy Halloween too!
