Halloween 2015

Last Halloween, we didn't really do much with the girls. We went to trunk-or-treat at our church, and passed out candy at our house, and that was about it. This year felt MUCH busier around the holiday!

It started with pumpkin carving at Grandma and Grandpa Slagh's house.
Aunt Liz had made cute little bags for each of the cousins.

Carving time...Cam wanted a happy face, Tay wanted a scary face

Cam was all about touching the inside

Taylor....not so much ;)

Chris and Liz were hard at work

And so was cousin Annie :)

The finished pumpkins

Tasty cupcakes afterward

As for costumes this year, Taylor knew she wanted to be Rainbow Dash. Camryn had a hard time making up her mind. :-)
First, she thought she might want to be a black kitty

Then, she spied the white tutu from Taylor's costume last year, and made up her own costume as "Snow Fairy Sparkle". This was her costume she wore the most.

The day before Halloween, I had off from school, so I got to go in and help with Taylor's class party!

We made crafts

Played pin the spider on the web

(A stinker smile from Tay because she peeked ;))

After the crafts, I got to eat lunch with Taylor. It was fun to see what it is like for her in the lunch room. She had a whole routine for how she laid everything out before she started eating. Made me smile. :) It was also fun to listen to her conversation with little friends.

After lunch, I helped Taylor and some of her classmates get dressed and ready for the costume parade.

Mem came to watch, too!

Lots of kids and parents!

The whole class. :)

After Taylor's fun day at school, we picked up Camryn, and headed downtown Zeeland for the trick-or-treating.

Camryn was NOT a fan of any male dressed in any sort of a black costume. She is still not so sure about the scary Halloween costumes.

And then after dinner we headed out AGAIN with just Camryn (Tay was tired, and stayed home with Mem) to check out the fun at Van Raalte farms. They had lit trails, treats, live animals, crafts, and a wagon ride.

Finally, on the actual Halloween day, it turned cold and windy and rainy.

The girls went with me to a Halloween party at the gym, and we hung out with a bunch of Crossfit Lake Effect friends. Cam decided to be Elsa for this party. :)

Tay loved playing ladder ball.

And Cam loved the rings (the Elsa dress got in the way of her fun ;))

Ashley was my partner for the workout that day. :)

The whole group!

That night, Ryan went out with the girls for just a little while on our street - and got completely soaked. :)

It was a BUSY, fun Halloween this year!!
