Happy Halloween!

Halloween was great again this year!  This post contains everything from the last week that was halloween related.  Madeline is all about the computer lately, typing on the keyboard, changing settings and aspect ratios and generally messing up the computer in any obscure way possible.  Because of this I have had a very hard time getting a minute to upload, edit and write the posts as I now have to keep the mouse and keyboard up on the bookshelf :)  

Back to Halloween.  Of course I did home made costumes again this year!!  We were a super hero family!  It was dark and snowy again this year so we took all of our photos inside.  Chloe was TOTALLY into halloween this year and wanted to keep going and going and going!  We even had to stop by the house halfway through to get the charriot for Madeline!  The houses in our neighborhood are pretty far apart so we were probably out for about an hour or so.  If Chloe had it her way we would have been out all night!
One of our wonderful neighbors gave Chloe a glow stick.  You can also see how red her little cheeks got after being outside.  You may also be able to detect the crazy in her, aka candy!!!!!  She loves the stuff!
Madeline did not really know what was going on so much with the trick or treating but she did go up to the door with Chloe and got some loot of her own.  We didn't think she really even knew about candy but right when we got home she ran right for her bag and dumped it out and held out candy for me to open for her.  Next year we will really be in for it with two candy crazed girls.  We will have to pick some sort of crazy warm outfits in preparation for the sure to be endless night of trick or treating in years to come!
We also did trick or treat street this year.  All of the downtown businesses get together and do a daytime trick or treating event on the weekend.  We went business to business collecting candy :)
One of the favorites was definitely the firetruck.  The firefighters were lined up along the street and were handing out candy.  Chloe must have been especially charming because she got to sit in the fire truck.  Too cool!
Maddie enjoyed running around exploring and touching everything.  She didn't trick or treat, but was definitely along for the ride!
The cape detail.  We designed logos both for the front of the sweatshirts and for the back of the cape.  I even had to design the font especially for this.  If you can't tell it is an R with a lightning bolt.  Hopefully they will use the capes for years to come.

Right before Halloween it snowed again.  Wohoo!!  Fun in the snow!



 And lastly our pumpkin carving pictures.  The girls LOVED the pumpkins.  It was so much fun we ended up buying more pumpkins after this! 





Chloe wanted spooky, so I tried my best to draw the spooky faces.  Thank you internet for the ideas!  Hope everyone had a great halloween!!

You rock the costumes, and the pumpkin carving, those are awesome! I think you have some future furry animals on your hands. A bear costume would be quite warm!
