Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! We took the girls trick-or-treating tonight, that was an adventure! I took Julia out to school this afternoon and one of the girls in the cosmetology department braided her hair so she would look like a real cowgirl. She thought she was so big! When we left the band was outside practicing and she just stopped in her tracks to watch them and then started dancing! 

Julia took a late nap this afternoon so we had to wake her up to go trick-or-treating which meant she was not in the best of moods to start with. Once she realized she was getting candy she perked up a little bit!

My sweet girls 

Once Julia got out of her mood she had a blast. I told Michael that next year I want to trick-or-treat our family the day before so that we can go actual trick-or-treating on Halloween. 2 hours seems like a long time, but it just wasn't enough time! Michael doesn't get home from work until about 5:15 and by the time we got everything together and in the car it was already 5:30 and trick-or-treating was over a 7:00. 

When we went to Mimi and Papa Thad's we let Julia trick-or-treat in their neighborhood. Tartan Pines goes all out and there were lots of decorations and candy. Several of the houses had people sitting outside instead of ringing the doorbell, most of them in costume with lots of decorations. One house had a girl passing out candy with a fox mask on. When we walked up I was thought Julia might be a little scared. She was a little hesitatnt, but she said "Mama, it's a fox!" When we were walking away down the sidewalk she yelled "Bye fox! Thanks for the candy! Had a good time!"

When we went to Mr. Speed and Mrs. Tula's they gave her some coins for her piggy bank. When we got to Mimi and Papa Thad's Julia looked at Papa Thad and said "You got any money?" I could have died! But of course, he found some money for her!

Charlotte was the cutest pumpkin out there tonight without a doubt. She was so good and easy going while we drug her all over.

I know next year will be even more fun for all of us!
