Let the festivities begin...


The family kicked off Friday with Blackboard's annual Halloween party in the DC office. Evie and Ellie donned their costumes - Evie as a princess with a sparkly headband, Ellie as a little pumpkin - to join the festivities. The first stop was Megan's office where she and mommy had put together a "Pop a Pumpkin" for a surprise - delicious candy for the kids.  


Ellie was eager to give the popping a try - no hesitating with the thumbtack here!  


Then the girls continued to trick o' treat through scary offices. Funny enough, neither of them seem too scared by the  giant gargoyle from Ghostbusters.  


Evie pauses for a moment while sister Ellie snacks in the background - which will soon be a consistent theme throughout the rest of the afternoon.  


Ba tries to lead Ellie out of Hogwarts Castle.  

Our little pumpkin finds some chairs she enjoys climbing on - our little girl knows where the party's at! 

When daddy arrives later, the girls have to demonstrate the pumpkin, of course.  Evie playfully pokes daddy in the nose. 

Then they put their forces together for a big pop!


Then, on Saturday we checked out Maury Elementary's Fall Festival, which had plenty of bouncy toys for Evie to enjoy.  She conquered the giant inflatable slide first thing, with joy on her face the whole way down (actually, she got a little scared when it got really fast), but had a big smile at the end.  


Then she headed over to the jungle gym, which was like a giant obstacle course, or "Wipe Out Zone," as one of her favorite shows.  She got right into the action, climbing, sliding and squeezing through. 

At the end of the big slide, she had a huge smile! 

Meanwhile, Ellie prepares to go down the slide like the big girl she is. 


Whee!!!!!!!!!!!!

She and mommy enjoy the beautiful afternoon before heading over to Dairy Godmother for pumpkin frozen custard.  Fall is great!
