"Happy Halloween Day!!!"

Yea Halloween! We had a great Halloween this year! Many months ago Allie decided that she would be "Baby Bop". For those of you that are not familiar, Baby Bop is a little green dinosaur character from the kids show "Barney" (you all know Barney, right? That giant, annoying purple dinosaur?).

So, since she was consistent for a couple of months that she wanted to be Baby Bop for Halloween, I found this really cute costume for her. She might just be the cutest Baby Bop ever!



And poor Baby Will, of course, was left being a monkey....which is what Allie was last year. Hand me downs.....

And no, I promise I won't make him be Baby Bop next year....

We started our festivities with the Halloween parade and party at their school. Allie did a great job in the parade marching around the room and then jumping up on stage yelling "Happy Halloween Day!" to everybody.


Will wasn't into the parade so much, but he was super happy to get his costume off and go to his classroom to play with pumpkins and eat cupcakes!


Sunday night we ventured out for our first trick-or-treating adventure. Allie was SOOOO excited all weekend and she practiced her "trick-or-treat" for several days leading up to the big event. We first attended a little neighborhood party when all the kids paraded around in their costumes, and then we turned them loose!



Here's Allie's hesitant approach to her first house.


Daddy went to most houses with her....


....and it didn't take her long to realize that she had a bag full of goodies!


Will spent most of his time in the stroller, but he was a happy camper for more than an hour and then he decided it was time for us to all head home.


Check out Allie in action!


We had a GREAT first trick-or-treating adventure!!!
