Halloween 2019

Up and ready for a busy Halloween day!

Brooklyn made her lunch and decided to add a little decoration to her fruit cup.

Her school is not allowed to wear costumes, boo.  But it was 'black out drugs day' so we added as much Halloween as we could.

She loved the idea of the black lipstick and said that a girl that sits next to her told her she looked scary today.

I dropped off both of the girls and then came home and got my table ready for Halloween dinner.

Kayla had a cross country race so she didn't get to dress up at all which was a bit of a bummer.  She said later it didn't really feel like Halloween because she missed out on dressing up with all her friends at school.

It was super windy and cold at her race and she usually wants to stay all day to hang with her friends but on this day she asked me to please sign her out for the day.   So yay for me!  We came home around 11:00 and she got in some warm clothes and then we headed out to pick up some lunch.

Back at home we watched A Nightmare on Elm Street together.  A perfect way to get her in the Halloween spirit.

I loved driving through the neighborhood and finding a red balloon tied to the gutter.  Although neither of my girls would get out and let me take a picture of them next to it! lol

Brooklyn came home and was ready to party.  She set up the karaoke machine and sang along to Halloween music.  Then she turned the family room into a Halloween carnival with a few stuffed animals.

We put the pumpkins out and fixed the decorations from the wind that messed them up earlier in the day.

Kayla's kitty pumpkin

Brooklyn's witch maybe?

Cali got a pirate bandanna tired around her neck and we were ready for the trick or treaters

For dinner I made these adorable skull calzones.

They were a hit!

Afterwards the girls got in costume and we were ready to trick or treat!

Brooklyn chose her costume this year by handing me the masquerade mask and said I just want to be whatever I can so I can wear this mask, lol.  It had to be scary so we came up with this.

Kayla found the dragon accessories and she was sold!

We had fun trick or treating this year and found a scary street where the houses went all out and they had people in costumes to specifically scare you.  Brooklyn was moving from Chris and I to avoid being scared.  I asked her why she was scared when she dressed up as something scary.  She said she likes to dress up as something scary to offset the being scared underneath.

We didn't stay out as long as usual this year and the girls were really okay with it.  They both said they were ready to come back home.  They went through all their candy and chose a few to eat, took showers and they were in bed before ten and that was Halloween 2019!
