We had a few different Halloween activities that we participated in. The weekend before we went to a kids carnival/concert. We attended this activity with some friends and spent the majority of the time in line for face paints. We also listened to the kids music (children's lyrics sang to common adult rock songs), did a bean bag toss, ate candy, and posed for pictures on a pile of hay.
On Wednesday night the girls recieved a package from their grandparents with a ton of candy and Halloween outfits that included headbands and socks that light up. (Thanks grandma Karen). So, that evening they wore their outfits to an annual pumpkin carving night that we do at church with foreign students from the local university.
On Halloween the girls wore their costumes to ballet and then we drove to a shopping center to snag some candy with some friends and to ride the train. Then we went home to eat Spaghetti because Paul ran a half marathon the following morning and wanted carbs that night. Then after spaghetti we went back out to trick-or-treat at two friends' homes.
The girls of course changed their minds a lot about what they wanted to be, but we went to a second hand store and found the wings and they were easily persuaded into being fairies, which I like better than the only other option...princesses. They got to decorate their wings with some help and they turned out pretty good.
