I've not really ever been a huge fan of Halloween, but it's kind of a big deal up here. People go all out decorating their houses, and there are seasonal Halloween stores everywhere! Jovan's starting to buy into the whole Halloween thing too. Me, I just like to decorate pumpkins and figure out fun Halloween costumes! :)
This year we all painted pumpkins. Can you tell which one belongs to which family member?!?
This is what the girls wore to school on Halloween. I was up a little late the night before making these outfits. One of these days I'll learn my lesson and not put it off until the last minute! Lainey had a Halloween program in her class. They sang three songs and had some "witches brew" afterwards with the parents. Luckily Jovan was able to be there to see it. Thank God for flexible jobs!
These are the girls' costumes this year. Lainey had the choice between Batman and Robin and Pinkalicious and her cupcake, so this is what she chose. I figured this may be my last year to have them coordinate for awhile, so I took full advantage!

There is a tradition in our Circle that all the kids get together for pictures and trick or treating. After we herd them all for pictures, we let them go get candy from everyone on our Circle first. We then go in one huge gang through our neighborhood. I didn't get to go last year because I was huge and pregnant, so I was amazed to watch the whole charade this year. It was so fun to watch all the kids run from house to house and get to hang out with our neighbors.
