Halloween week is always a fun one around here. We all get into the dressing up and the festivities. Here are a few of the happenings this week....

We played some Halloween games.....spin-offs of old favorites:

| Silly girls next to the silly jack-o-lantern |
Since the weather didn't cooperate on Halloween night, our neighborhood postponed trick-or-treating to the following night. So Halloween night, we took it easy with a family movie night.
Friday was a busy day. We started the day with 8:15 mass since it was All Saints Day, then came home and finished getting the girls saint costumes ready and headed to our homeschool All Saints party. After an early dinner we headed out trick-or-treating for about 45 minutes then packed everyone in the van and headed to Rose's school for a carnival-themed fun night.
 |
| Can you guess which saints they are? |

| Rose as St. Lucy |
 |
| Ava as St. Elizabeth of Hungary |

Trick-or-treating time!
I didn't stress about costumes this year. Between the costume box and the dress-up bin, whatever they could find, they could wear. Most of the time, Ella didn't want to keep a costume on. I think she changed her costume 3 times in the last 10 minutes before we walked out the door.
 |
| Dorthy, Dr. Ava, Minnie Mouse, and a bunch of grapes |
 |
| Trick-or-treating at the McCarthy's house |
 |
| Ger and Paul on baby duty (with Bella and Ella :) |
Ella was SO excited about all the candy. After every house, she would turn to me and say, "Mommy, I got this one!" and then run to try to keep up with the big girls. I think the suckers were her favorite.
 |
| Cutest bunch of grapes I ever did see ;) |
