Happy Halloween 2009

We had such a fun Halloween this year!  Grant actually let us dress him up and we were so happy to have Charlotte here to celebrate with us too! 

We started the day off with some Halloween treats for breakfast…banana ghosts and “bones and blood”.  The banana ghost were just bananas dipped in white chocolate and the “bones and blood” were cinnamon-sugar breadsticks and strawberry jelly.  Grant really enjoyed both of them!

Around lunchtime we headed to the front of our neighborhood for the festival that was going on.  They had games, a cake walk and lots of “bouncy houses” that Grant loved to play in.  He also enjoyed his first bite of blue cotton candy!  Unfortunately I did not have the camera so no pictures from there!  Lunch was also in the form of a Halloween treat.  We made mummy hotdogs!  Just hotdogs wrapped in breadsticks with mustard eyes…they were a hit and gobbled up!

Our kiddos are just so adorable that we cannot help taking lots of pictures of them…and now that Charlotte has come along it has gotten worse.  We tried to get them to pose together in the rocking chair and it worked for about a minute…

And then it turned into this…

Oh well, maybe one day Grant will like to be near his baby sister!  After a long nap for everyone it was time to get ready for trick-or-treating!  Grant was the cutest little fly fisherman that we have ever seen!

Charlotte was so little that it was hard to find a costume for her so we just decided on a cute onesie and bow.  Since it was chilly outside we thought that a hat might be better…but as you can see she did not approve and wanted her bow back.

Grant’s friend, from across the street,  Isabella stopped by for candy so we decided to trick-or-treat with her family.  She was the cutest angel ever!  They went from house to house together collecting lots of candy!  Grant would say “more me house” after he would get candy and was very polite saying “tank you” to everyone too! 

 

Grant got lots of candy and got to eat 2 pieces when we got home.  He also really enjoyed ‘helping people” that came to the door to get candy from us.  About 8:45 everyone was tuckered out but we had had a great Halloween day!
