Halloween ... told from my camera

This year for Halloween, I would like to present:

Leah the Butterfly Princess 

or something like that

and

Audrey the Tiger

we even practiced our RAWRRR and War Eagle!

This year we went a trunk or treatin'.  I didn't like it *insert pout here*.  It wasn't real Halloween where you go door to door and run down sidewalks to ring doorbells and yell 'trick or treat' while the people smile, laugh and hand you gobs of candy for your bag.

Instead we fought the major crowds of older kids who accidentally trampled over my petite three year old.  She shyly approached cars and hesitantly picked out one piece of candy.  Yup ... one.  No extra candy for mommy to taste :-(.

and I may have complained a bit

or I may have complained so much that Andrew told me if I didn't complain one more time we would for sure go house to house next year.

so ... I stopped complaining.  and then he promised me a bag of candy to taste.

and to focus on Leah having fun .... I think she had a good time:


and what you ask did Audrey the Tiger do while we were going trunk to trunk?

She squished a Twix bar into a chocolatey mush:


We tried to bounce on the '5 and under' bouncy castle...

except Leah quickly said 'it's too loud and too bouncy Mommy'


So we walked down the road to the park!


and the butterfly flew while swinging in the swings

and sliding down the slide ... the tiger even flew too

we drove the train and ran around and had a wonderful time!

even Mommy tried this flying stuff ...


and even though the Trunk or Treat wasn't the Halloween of my childhood ... Leah still loved it

and even though I don't have gobs of candy to eat ... it's all half off now!

and on the ride home ... the kids fell asleep ... and stayed asleep for the rest of the night!

Happy Halloween!

I hope your Halloween was full of more treats than tricks!
