Trick-or-Treat

 This was our first try at carving a pumpkin.  Izzy kept wanting to 'put a smile' on the pumpkin she picked out.  This was mostly her design with mommy's help.
 It doesn't take a genius to figure out that many 3 year old girls want to be a princess for Halloween.  At Izzy's school party many of the girls in her class were some sort of princess.  I just laughed at her friend Amelia's pose... she was like this in almost every picture.
 Izzy's good friend Bonnie pose for a picture.
 This was the parade of costumes so the parents could oh & ah.  This also resulted in many of the younger kids crying when they couldn't go with their parents on the way to the park which is were the party was held.  Again, many girls were princesses but not all of them... can you find which one is different?
 Wayne comes every Friday to play songs for the kids.  He also comes to their Halloween party every year.  The kids just love him which is so fun to watch.  One song was about jumping.  The kids all stood still for the first 4-5 notes and right when he started to sing they all started to jump.  Despite their age, they know exactly what each song is as soon as it starts.
 After her school party, we headed to my friend Kiran's house to trick-or-treat in her neighborhood.  Izzy wanted mommy to wear my spider headband which was a hit with others.
 This was a pretty impressive spider that we found during our outing.
 Leelah & Izzy captured in the act of trick-or-treating.  They were both so polite always saying 'trick-or-treat' and 'thank you'.
 The group of adults who went out.  Manish (Leelah's dad) was mainly responsible for walking the girls up to each house.  Kiran is due any day but able to join us.  Leslie & Dave brought out their little one as well for his first Halloween experience.  He did quite well without any crying.
The night was not complete without a picture of our little devil and kitty cat!
