Lucy was also really excited about Halloween and loved all the "smooky" as she called them decorations that were out and about. She thought it was a lot of fun. I just have fall decor, not any Halloween decor, so guess I should hit the after-the-holiday sales looking for cheap Halloween decorations to have for next year!
Here's what all we did for Halloween:
On Tuesday, October 24, Lucy got to wear her Halloween costume to dance class and then ended up wearing it all day long!
On Wednesday, October 25, Lucy had a Fall Festival at her preschool and got to wear her costume to school and had a really fun time playing games, painting a pumpkin, and trying different Halloween snacks.
On Thursday, October 26, we (well, Ross) carved a pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern. This was the first time we'd done this as a family and I think the girls really liked it!
On Friday, October 27, Ross' work had trick-or-treating for kids in their building. I was quite impressed with all the decorating they did! It was pretty neat and the girls got A LOT of candy! It was a very fun time! Then that evening we went to dinner with some friends and then went to a local small town "Halloween Haunt" set up in their city hall building. It was a good time playing games and trunk-or-treating.
On Sunday, October 29, our church had its annual Harvest Party where we had a chili dinner, got to play games, watch fireworks and trunk-or-treat again.
Then finally on Halloween, October 31, we trick-or-treated at the library for their Halloween story time, had a jack-o-lantern pizza for dinner and then went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood with Gumma and Poppy. It was a really fun time and the girls thoroughly enjoyed themselves! I think Molly really liked the trick-or-treating part!

| This was a big blow-up slide. We were very surprised that Lucy went down it, as she usually gets scared doing things like this. We were very proud of her for doing so! |
