halloween

this year mae was really excited about halloween. people in our neighborhood go all out, so every day we would go on a walk and look at the halloween decorations. (my personal favorite were the scary crows)
she got to pick out her costume, and izzy's.  she found a minnie mouse costume that she really loved, and she decided that she wanted izzy to be daisy duck. 

holidays are so much more fun with kids.  when i found out we were going to be in virginia for halloween i was excited.  my parents have some great neighborhoods near them for trick or treating. 

my little girlies in their matching halloween shirts.  

 i absolutely love this picture.  i love the way they are looking at each other.  izzy adores mae and lights up when she sees her, and mae is such a sweet big sister.

with how fast everything happened with the funeral and coming home, we didn't even have a chance to go to a pumpkin patch this year.  i was pretty bummed.  but, lucky for us my mom is one festive lady and already had some pumpkins.  so we were able to carve one this year!
 aaaannd the knife broke...
mae loved ever minute of it.

it was so much fun when we put the candle inside and lit it, she was thrilled.  i love moments like these.  to see the world through the eyes of a three year old, and enjoy the simple things.

mae was so excited to put on her dress, and for me to put some makeup on.  
 i forgot to get feathers for izzy's headband, but i think these two turned out to be pretty darn cute daisy and minnie.




 we had a great time trick or treating.  izzy sat in the stroller and people watched the whole time.  and mae did not want to stop.  we went three blocks of town houses.  after each house "i get more candy mom".  she was very polite, saying trick or treat and thank you.  there were a couple of houses that she did not even want to go near.  a family in my parents ward goes all out each year.  they did a haunted house in their garage, and screens with crazy images outside, and they were dressed like clowns.  the dad came out and mae went running.  then the wife came (she wasn't dressed as scary) and mae took candy from her. we scored some great candy...that's the real reason parents do this right?
