We had a great Halloween! It is one of our favorite holidays because it's full of imagination, fun activities, and excitement.
This year we decided to have a little Halloween party on Saturday since we had so much fun throwing one a couple of years ago. It was a little chilly but the kids didn't seem to notice. Although we had all kinds of fun games planned (pin the nose on the pumpkin, pumpkin bowling, etc), the kids were more interested in playing with our backyard toys!
I had a lot of fun scouring my new addiction, Pinterest, for ideas for recipes and games. The food was yummy and it was so helpful that so many people brought goodies, too!

Trick or treating this year was SO MUCH FUN! Campbell loved it and Maggie was such a little trooper. Campbell loved her Strawberry Shortcake costume that we created out of a hilarious red wig, a borrowed hat, some new tights, and an iron-on picture. Maggie's costume is very special because it was actually a costume of mine when I was little!
We first went by one of my co-worker and friend's house, then we stopped by Campbell's teacher, Mrs. Chamberlain's house, and then we headed home where Robbie took Maggie home and I took Campbell to a few of our neighbors' houses. When we were at Mrs. Chamberlain's house, we ran into Campbell's BFF, Eleanor! It made Campbell so happy to see her. One of my favorite memories of the night was when she and I went to one of our neighbor's houses. They had left a basket out since they were trick or treating with packs of crackers and candy. Campbell looked at the items in the basket and said "Crackers? No" and then immediately grabbed a piece of candy. Man, that girl is definitely my daughter ;)
