Play school Halloween party day. The kids and teacher lined up so we could all take their photos at the beginning of the class. Savannah is Sleeping Beauty. She says it "Sleeping Eauty."
This is their "scary face" photo. I don't think Savannah quite knew what to do!
Our radio station decided to give candy away to Trick-or-Treaters from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We just happened to be in the city that day and after our Dr. appt. we drove over, got into our costumes and got our photo taken with Crash and Mars! Savannah was a bit scared of them. She has no idea what a nun or Catholic priest are.
This is the receptionist, Taz. Savannah says she is a Princess. She gave Savannah a lot of candy as we were the first Trick-or-Treaters at 11:15 a.m. There were only about 20 in total.
Outside we found the NOW! van. Savannah loved the "Poke-E-Dot" car and the little puppy on it.
Her "scary face!" Guess it's an "improvement" over the play school scary face.
Day 3 - October 30th, 2010
Posing with our Pirate Potatohead Jack-O-Lantern.
Another play school type pose!
So excited for Trunk-or-Treat!
The table cloth from Daddy's birthday party and a few new dollar store items as well as a few things from previous years made for a pretty good Halloween trunk if I do say so myself! This was our first time doing a Trunk-or-Treat so we weren't sure what to expect. It was a great time for everyone and so many kids!!!! Savannah got the hang of things pretty quick and after making the rounds once with an adult, she proceeded to make two more rounds!!!! I ran out of candy before all the kids made it around, so I "recycled" some of the candy Savannah had safely stored inside the car. She ended up with more than a shopping bag full anyway. Some people were giving out handfuls of candy!!!!
Closer up view of the trunk.
One of the coolest homemade costumes ever. This young boy was a Lego block. During this photo he was in the middle of doing robot like moves hiding in the block and then coming out again. He also fancied himself a comedian, but Savannah didn't understand his jokes.
Handing out candy - my witch hat changed to a crown so I could be Sleeping Beauty's mother!
Long time friends, Nora and Drew. You can read Joelle's blog too, she is hilarious!!!
Another trunk nicely decorated for the evening.
The SUPER family
Savannah was having a temper tantrum, but turned into a happy kitty as soon as the camera started to flash!!!
Day 4 - October 31st, 2010
The neighbors always do a super scary yard. This makes for an evening of Halloween music and twice scared Trick-or-Treaters. Rick thinks it is hilarious to scare the older kids that come over still watching the neighbours place. They aren't expecting anything since we don't do much decorating. He opens the door and makes some sort of noise to make them jump!
The empty chair is where the neighbour sits dressed like one of the dummies, so when the older kids come around he can get up and scare them! He has a "chainsaw" that he cuts the heads off the other dummies with. This year I saw someone else in his yard take off running after one of the kids halfway down the block. Poor kid.
Eating some of her loot. This is only about half of it.
My favorite part of Halloween. I go Trick-or-Treating with Savannah and take around a pillowcase (and the wagon) and collect things for our local food bank. The haul this year included quite a lot of canned soup, some "meal helpers", a box of candy (next to our Jack O'Lantern) and 6 kids toothbrushes. Love it!
At one house the lady was giving Savannah 2 bags of chips and a whole bunch of candy. When she said she didn't have anything for the food back, Savannah took one of the bags of chips and put it in my food bank bag! That's my girl, always sharing with everyone.
Here's hoping next year will be bigger and better! I've learned a few things over the years and now we take a wagon to collect all the goods in. Think next year I will deliver flyers prior to Halloween to remind everyone I am coming.
