Halloween 2009

This year Alexia was a dalmatian and Mikayla was going to be 'mustard' but decided to be a fairy instead. Despite the fact that Halloween is probably T's least favorite holiday, she was instrumental in getting Alexia's spots sewn onto her costume and she also make Mikayla's tutu-skirt from scratch. Thanks also to Sue & Andrea for the help, advice, guidance and support.

Me? I just ate candy, drove kids around and took pictures.

Friday night we went to the Fall Harvest Festival at Alexia's school.

Mikayla volunteered at one of the game booths and also at the Carmel Apple booth.


Alexia played a lot of games and participated in the costume contest. She didn't win any prizes, but her BFF Aryana did. Aryana was the 'Kittens 4 sale' next to Alexia.

Tanya and I volunteered at the Halloween Bowling booth. There's nothing qite like 12 year olds hurling bowling ball sized pumpkins at 2-liters of water... or your ankles if you aren't paying attention.

Today, Halloween, started with our final soccer game of the season for Alexia. It was a great first half, but the second half didn't turn out quite so favorable. The kids were more interested in trick or treating... or at least that's the excuse I'll use.

The weather was perfect for trick or treating. It was dry and not cold. The kids both met up with friends for their neighborhood tours and were quite satisfied with their loot.





While the kids were out trick or treating, Tanya was correcting papers, planning for conferences and ready to decorate for Thanksgiving.
