Halloween!

Halloween really gets fun when you turn four.  At least at our house years 0-3 are pretty uneventful.  You get to dress up, knock on maybe three doors with Mom and Dad pestering you to say "trick or treat" and "thank you" and then you go home and your parents confiscate your candy only to eat it all themselves.  This year, however, Lucy is old enough to really appreciate the songs, books, costume choices and candy.  We had a great day.
The day started with rice cereal. I am finally starting to feed these babies real food. It takes so long, but I'm trying to do it more reguarly.

Then Lucy painted a pumpkin. She cut out a jack-o-lantern with Grandma Marilyn only a couple of days ago, but it was rotting already so this was her last minute Halloween pumpkin.

That afternoon Lucy had her last ballet class for the fall. Parents are allowed to come watch the last class and Lucy's Grandma Karen and Great-Grandparents came as well! They usually aren't allowed to wear tutus-but Halloween was a special occasion.

Then we changed into our costumes and got a few pictures of Rapunzel and the skeleton sisters

We went trick or treating in Danville with our Leininger cousins. We were also able to meet our new nephew James-although unfortunately I didn't get a picture of his cute face.

The kids had a great time running around the neighborhood together. They are at such a cute age-they were sincere in their "Trick or Treats" and would yell "Happy Halloween" at every house as they ran on to the next one. Elizabeth was especially adorable. We carried the babies with us and they just enjoyed being outside.  Lucy was content with one kitkat bar last night, but mom and Dad both snuck quite a bit when she'd gone to bed...
