Halloween

Hannah wanted to be a mermaid for Halloween because she likes swimming.  Olive was going to be a butterfly, but then changed her mind to a "blue princess with a down skirt"  She has never seen any Cinderella books/movies, she just wanted a blue dress that went down to the floor.  In fact when she saw Cinderella's face on her costume she asked, "Who dat?  Is she ni (nice)?"  

We had a big Halloween: swimming lessons for Hannah, playing at Matt Ross playground, scary face pancakes for lunch, naps, get on costumes, visit Brooke & Ted, go trick-or-treating at Vrooman's annual Halloween party.

 

Brooke's baby: Ladybug Gwendolyn
 

Hannah had a blast running around with the kids trick-or-treating.  Olive trailed behind, arriving at houses by the time the other girls were leaving.  She was on her own timetable.

 

At the party, the girls spent most of their time playing in the basement with all of the kids.  I love it that they are old enough to do that.  They had so much fun!  Hannah had some big tears when it was time to leave.  Luckily we didn't have to go to preschool the next day after staying up so late.  Have I mentioned how much I love not working/not going to preschool? :)
