Halloween 2011



The girls had a great Halloween this year. I believe it is the first time, Chloe remembers, they have been through a neighborhood trick-or-treating in a very long time (since Edgefield, really). It was crazy over there! I have not seen that many people in a neighborhood in quite awhile.

April invited us and Wendy's family over to trick-or-treat in her neighborhood. I was worried about keeping warm, because I had left my coat at home. All that walking kept me warm though...no worries.

Yes, Jesse's costume is the same from last year, but made to keep her much warmer. Tempatures from this year and last year were very different! In all honesty, we were not sure if we would be trick-or-treating this year or not. John's work had given us this week as a possible date for him to be in D.C. After seeing the snow that fell there this weekend, I'm thankful that did not happen.

Many comments were made about Chloe's costume. She was a ladybug at the Halloween party and Scooby Doo for Halloween. Jesse was Scooby quite a few years ago and for the last couple of years Chloe wanted to be Scooby right up to the last minute. This year will be the last year she would be able to wear the costume, it is getting too tight. So this year she decided she was going to be Scooby Doo, because next year it probably will not be a choice. She was adorable! And Jesse just looks to grown up!

Conversation turned this weekend, as I tried to convince them to stay home and not go out for Halloween. I even offered them two bags each of their favorite candy! Chloe pointed out that soon they will not be able to go trick-or-treating. She was sad about it. I told her that is when we start having Halloween parties with their friends. Now, they are a little excited about the change when it happens.
