Happy Halloween!

Halloween festivities continued on Saturday, with party at the local park district.  While it was a bit chilly, we had fun on the hayride, "painting" a pumpkin, decorating a cookie, playing on the playground, and Brooke even tried the moonwalk bouncing house thing...though she crawled in the "door" and immediately froze up, so Mom had to coax her to the side then out.  Guess it was a little scary, especially with big boys jumping around.  She also could not be convinced to go into the "haunted tunnel." 

However, the highlight was the "train ride". She had lots of fun, though the pictures don't show many smiles.
On Sunday, Brooke started the day sporting her Happy Halloween shirt.
Keira wore her Halloween onesie.
Later, picture time on the porch by the pumpkins!  Brooke was an Iowa cheerleader...Fight Fight Fight for Iowa...
Then trick-or-treating! As kids started coming to the door Brooke couldn't wait to head out!  Mom had to hurry to put Keira to bed before going out with her.  Brooke REALLY enjoyed the trick-or-treating, and by watching other kids she learned to run from house to house.  After each house she'd say "No going home, next house".  We went down our street and another street, and by the time we got home she was saying her feet hurt.  But she sure was excited about the candy...which is odd since we don't give her candy.
Happy Halloween!  Note to Mom, next year, get warmer costumes!
