I'm behind in posting the pictures from Halloween mainly because I've been so busy with my classes this semester. Next semester should be much, much better so I'm looking forward to that. Very luckily, Carl is on a good rotation right now. He has a difficult one coming up in the spring, and I'm just so glad that our busy times did not occur simultaneously.
One of our homemade Halloween craft projects
Another project - we made ghosts out of Lily and William's footprints.
On our way to a Halloween festival sponsored by Grandma and Papa's community
After the Halloween parade (which all the kids participated in), all the businesses gave out candy. We forgot our bucket, so Lily collected candy in William's hat. :)
A fun family day spent outside in the warm sunshine
Halloween night before going trick-or-treating. This picture does not do justice to the amount of candy and snacks that my mom and dad had to give out to trick-or-treaters, but let me tell you, it was A LOT....and it was all gone in 2 hours. The entire community really gets into trick-or-treating, and there is no shortage of little ones there for the taking. It is a really fun place to go trick-or-treating, and I love our tradition of going over to mom and dad's house for this night. In fact, Lily has spent every Halloween there (minus the first one in Baltimore in which she gave out candy instead of trick-or-treating). And, of course, William has too, with his first trick-or-treating experience at just 9 days old last year!
Hansel & Gretel
Hansel with his 'rents
An attempt at a family shot
As I said, people really get into Halloween at New Town. There are lots of displays including neighborhood-built haunted houses, bounce houses for the little ones, and many, many elaborate house displays. While Ryan was goofing around with one of the displays, an animated skeleton got his revenge by sneaking an attack from behind.
Lily, William and Ingrid pause to check out the huge inflatable, animated cat (a much less scary display than the skeleton, of which William was understandably not fan).
