Halloween

I think Halloween is Amelia's favorite holiday.  She loves to dress up and eat candy, so being that is what Halloween is all about, it makes sense.  Also, she told me about 10 times that day and is already on countdown until next year.

A zookeeper and a peacock. 

Like last year, we partied it up at school and in the hood.  Liam got to join Amelia's class for a parade and trick-or-treating and cried when he had to go home for a nap.  Earlier that day the daycare crew had a small celebration of their own.

Later that night our neighborhood hosted a Halloween carnival and trick-or-treating.  We had record numbers show up, with probably about 100 kids plus their parents.  It as a lot of fun, but I spent most of my time painting faces.

You also know that Halloween was a success when you realize that is it time for bed and all you and the kids have had to eat is Krispy Kremes and candy.  One ham sandwich later, we all hit the beds wiped out.

Until next year.....

Who knew the zookeeper was REALLY Spiderman underneath!!!

She shook her tail feathers ALL day.  She love the tutu a mother at school made her.  

Liam was Spiderman last year too.  Tradition.
