Maya dressed up as a Ballerina Skeleton (every time she told somebody what she was, she did a little twirl afterwards) and Brianna was a Cowgirl Skeleton.
This was our first makeup attempt. We were late for the trunk or treat and it was a little rushed, but still turned out cute.
For playgroup the Tuesday before Halloween we had a fun Halloween craft and a pinata. The kids loved it!
They did not, however, know how to really SMACK a pinata. Most of them did gentle taps, but they still thought it was cool.
One afternoon we made Halloween sugar cookies. I like to put the sprinkles on before we bake them, so they still look cute but we don't have to take the time to frost them.
Maya got pouty for a minute with Brianna got to do the rolling.
We found a cute decoration kit for a pumpkins from Target. And...Brianna is silly.
Treatsylvania was the Saturday before Halloween. We went with our friends, the Cooks. They have a cute little boy, and he was dressed up as a Cowboy. This is make-up attempt #2. We got some great watercolor crayons that work well for drawing on skin!
Maya was silent all night long. She didn't say "trick or treat" one time. She was acting really tired and not with it...it made more since once when we got home and were taking off her make-up that we discovered she had a fever.
The night before Halloween we decorated and carved our pumpkins.
On Halloween Day Maya had a Halloween party at preschool that families were invited to. Brianna had a great time, but made it obvious she is not old enough for school yet! They had fun crafts and treats.
This is Maya's class. Her entire class. 3 cute blondies!
The last 30 minutes were spent in the gym doing gymnastics.
That evening my mom and dad came over for the festivities. We (I) have a tradition of making Jack O' Lantern pizza on Halloween. After dinner we did the make-up on the girls (final attempt turned out awesome I think!) and then Ryan and my dad took them trick or treating.
We didn't get a ton of trick or treaters at our door, but when they came, Brianna was all about handing out the candy.
I love holidays with kids!
