As Brynn calls them "scary pumpkins"
This was one of my favorite Halloweens of all time. Seeing this "holiday" through the eyes of a child just brings so much more fun and joy to the festivities.
This year, Brynn had many many many costume changes (thank god for our large dress up collections). Originally, she wanted to be a black bird. oookay.....not sure how we would have pulled that one off, but eventually she decided she would be a princess.
Come the Halloween festivities, she decided that a true woman never wears the same costume twice so her ensembles went like this:
1) School Parade: Princess Aurora
2) School Halloween Carnival: Snow White
3) Trick or Treating: Scary witch (see below)

I have to say the scary witch was my favorite and it was so darn cute!
Audrey was a blue octopus! Seriously: cutest.costume.ever. And it comes with built in distraction for the stroller/carseat/etc.
So the big night came. We made our annual pre-trick-or-treat "Goul-ash" and then got ready to go out.
Audrey, who decided this was just way to much for her, went to sleep at about 5:30pm...crazy. what a party pooper.
Brynn, as usual, played a little bit of the melodramatics about everything, but eventually picked out her outfit and was ready to go. We went to TWO, count em TWO houses and Brynn said "Mommy, I wanna go home"
okey dokey artichokey (or as Brynn says "okee okee chokey")
We went home to dad and sleeping Audrey and Brynn went through her candy (which was made up of 3 pieces of candy), she licked each one once and said "All done" and threw them in the trash.
Then we all got in comfy clothes and sat on the couch watching movies while trick or treaters came. We had a whole bunch! It was so much fun and Brynn was having a blast with them. She would sit facing the window on the couch and say "any more trick or treaters?" and when she would see some she would say "More KIDS!" and then rush with us to the door to pass out candy, although as soon as the door opened she was super shy Brynn but she really enjoyed seeing all the fun costumes.
What a fun halloween!
