One of our favorite traditions is going to Mommy's work for the annual Halloween party. The girls enjoyed trick o' treating down the spooky hallways before sitting down to enjoy the magician make balls disappear and turn red handkerchiefs to blue. Above, Ellie is amazed while Evie looks a little skeptical. Evie would later impress Megan with her own magic tricks.
On Halloween, we stopped by Nall's pumpkin patch to pick out a new beauty as the one that was sitting on our porch for the last couple of weeks got a little moldy and had started to be scratched at by cats or raccoons (?).
The girls become tamers of these never-seen-before snake gourds - spooky!
Ellie is hosting "Brown Bear" from her preschool so we also had to take him on an adventure in the playground. Ellie and Brown Bear say hi to a couple of raccoons at the park.
Once we got home, Evie was happy to help with the gross task of taking out the "guts" so Dad could complete the carving of the pumpkin.
This year we dressed our headless man in Dad's varsity sweater from Dartmouth. Even Brown Bear got in the spirit by dressing up as a cool snowboarder.
Evie likes looking inside the pumpkin head.
Finally costumed up, the girls show off their "Brittany the Chipette" and dragonfly costumes (homemade by Mommy, of course). After a night of trick o' treating around the neighborhood, Ellie said, "Everyone kept calling me soooo cute." [head slap] Evie felt like a "famous person" because her costume got raves.
We had a great time at Gina, Eric and Cole's house where we enjoyed pumpkin decorating before a delicious dinner and hitting the streets. It was another successful Halloween!
