Happy Halloween

Halloween started early for us. We were shopping in Lexington in August and went into a store where they had strategically placed Halloween costumes right up in front so that you had to walk by them in order to walk inside. Try as I might, I caved to the pleas and we left with two princess costumes that were tried on at least once a week all the way up to Halloween.
This was the first year that we actually had a front door to place a pumpkin by! The girls really enjoyed helping their Dad out, until Abbie realized that she really didn't like the gooey mess. So Morgan and Dave finished alone...I still can't decide who had the most fun.
It was so fun to have Halloween on a Saturday this year, it gave us adequate amounts of prep-time which was well needed; we had two princesses to prepare. Morgan was excited because Halloween is the only time she gets to wear make-up besides during her dance recital. Abbie hopped aboard the make-up train and even let me put mascara on her--it was an interesting process.


Morgan was next, she took it like an old pro. Next it was time for pictures.

The Abbie pose...
Snow White with her curls. She was excited about spraying her hair black.
We took a ton of pictures of the girls, their costumes turned out really well. Here they are with their look-a-like dolls that Grandma Nan gave to them.
We went trick-or-treating (with another Abby, my co-worker's daughter) to the halls because it has been successful for us in the past; however this year it was only in the lobbies of a couple buildings so we were done within ten minutes.
So after the halls we went to my boss's neighborhood and hit the jackpot. The doors were close together the weather warm, and the people friendly.
Had to include one last picture of the hair spray coming out later that night. We had to wash her hair three times and rinse the water twice. A fun end to the Halloween night!
