brewing up a good halloween

Having two little girls old enough to have opinions makes picking out Halloween costumes that much more fun... and that much more difficult!!! We spent hours in several different stores looking for the perfect costumes, and it wasn't until the girls spotted these purple sparkly brooms that they both agreed they'd like to be witches!

When we got home with our costumes Sam sprinted out into the backyard and immediately straddled the broom and stood still for a few minutes. I went out to see what she was doing, and she said "Mommy, it's not working!!! It's not flying me!" She was sadly disappointed when I explained to her, after having a good laugh, that the broom was just for pretending to fly.

We spent lots of time doing hair and makeup, which my girlie girls love!


We had our annual tradition of trick or treating with Joe, Lisa, and Reece!

Lisa and I walked door to door with the kids while Joe and Dan stayed behind to hand out candy. Normally we switch half way through, but it got SO cold that we called it a night!
