Halloween Festivies

I love Halloween!  Not the scary, icky stuff, but the parties, dressing up and decorating part :)  If it were up to Ronnie, we would skip Halloween and start listening to Christmas music October 1st, but he's always a good sport and dresses up for me!  This year my sister Meghan threw a mad hatter tea party and as usual, I procrastinated coming up with an outfit, so we had to make due with what we had at the house.  We ended up being Alice, the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat, which I think we pulled off pretty well (despite Ronnie's humungous mouth I drew on him).  It was an awesome party and Chloe had a blast entertaining everyone.  She's such a goof!

For Halloween we also had a theme, though most people didn't put it together.  Chloe was Rapunzel and Ronnie and I were her Ruffians aka the mime and a thug from the tavern.  Everyone we walked by would say something about Ronnie being from How to Train Your Dragon, which is a pretty fair assumption.  We left our bowl of candy sitting on the front porch because I knew we were going to run out anyway and I would just feel guilty and went around the neighborhood as a family.  Our complex is full of families, so it was really fun going out and seeing everyone's costumes and visiting.  Chloe loved going up to the houses and saying "trit tor treat" and even walked up to a few of them by herself.  After we finished our area (and my legs felt like they were going to detach from my hips) we headed over to my parents house to hit up some of the more choice houses (where they give out pop, full size candy bars and homemade snicker doodles).  It was a great night!

PS  We also helped my Dad dress up for work....he's the scary guy holding Chloe in the picture above :)
