Happy Halloween!!!

We've done LOTS of playing in the leaves lately!
Sophia's wonderful new rake from the "small hands" Montessori supply catalogue! Small Hands has lots of awesome, "real" tools for children to use... she also got a chopping knife that works really well, and is one of her favorite things to use!


Posing with our "silly" jack 'o lanterns...


Halloween night! Leslie and her daughter, Aria, joined us for trick or treating in our neighborhood... one of the wonderful things (and yes, there are wonderful things!) about living in a suburb: safe and fun trick or treating among many neighborhood children! On SIDEWALKS!


The girls have so much fun together! Aria is a hoot!

One of the most beautiful, warm Halloweens. Ever.

Trying out one of her treats...




Waiting to shout those magic words!


SUPER scary decorations at this one house! Might have been rated a bit PG13ish for our little girls... they didn't know what to think! I mean, there was a LOT of blood!


Not feelin the PG13 place...


Ok, so LOTS of the families out trick-or-treating were the ENTIRE family: mom, dad, gaggle of kids AND the dressed up family dog! I couldn't BELIEVE how many dogs in costume were out!


After a good hour we returned to my place and Leslie and I chilled with glasses of red wine while the girls went through (and consumed!) their loot. It was a pretty awesome, mellow, fun, perfect Halloween! Considering Travis had to work, Halloween was on a Monday, and we missed out on the epic cousin festivities, I was pretty happy :) HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
