Like many families we know, we participated in so many Halloween festivities over the last two weeks, it was scary. The Great Pumpkin even made a visit, bringing new toothbrushes and toothpaste (clever fellow!) for the girls. The girls wore their costumes so many times, there's no doubt we got our money's worth out of them!
Brace yourself for a terrifying amount of Halloween pictures ahead....

The girls had an amazing couple weeks of tricks and treats, and it all came to end end last night with the grand finale: trick-or-treating.
I donned my hippo ballerina costume per usual, the girls got decked out in their costumes, Daddy grabbed a beer, and we rolled out to the neighborhood Halloweenie Roast to enjoy a casual dinner with our friends before pounding the pavement for treats. It was a great night.

Margaret gave it her all...

 |
| Julia was exhausted, but never gave up. She trick-or-treated with the big kids right up until the end of the night. |
 |
| We had a blast! |

| Despite the late night, Caroline was up and 'em early the next morning, ready to sort through her candy stash! |
