Trick or Treating

This year we had some friends over to celebrate Halloween. We watched football, did some arts and crafts, and the men had a chili cook off. For the kids, we made a jack o lantern pizza, which was a huge hit. Ally HATED her Nemo costume. Despite my many attempts to get her up and around, she kept crumpling to the floor, as if it had destroyed her will to live.
At one point, Ally rolled over and just laid on the floor with her face buried in the carpet and her little tail pointing straight up. She looked like a fish that needed to be flushed!

Sophia LOVED her Ariel costume and was happy to join Ally on the floor for pictures.

Once we got outside to trick or treat, Ally forgot all about her humiliating costume and had fun running around with all her neighborhood friends. Her little tail would swing back and forth as she ran, which made every adult in sight swoon!

Sophia is a pro at trick or treating now, although I'm not sure if she actually said "Trick or treat" to anyone. I thinks that's another skill she's putting off until she's 4.


After a full evening of trick or treating, we let the girls sample a little of their loot. I think it's safe to say that Ally finally realized the costume was totally worth it!

We can't wait to do it again next year!
