This year, our main trick-or-treating came on the day before Halloween when we took to Main Street to score some candy. Since we were fully booked for Halloween this year (and not with a single Halloween activity, actually), we were hoping the weather would work out and allow us at least to do a little candy collecting this year.
The rain ended late in the morning and after lunch, Amelia got her hair did again! Surprisingly, she is totally into having her hair in curlers. They were a great investment and I think they will get lots of use!
The curlers came out before Jason arrived home, so we did a mini photo shoot on the porch while we were waiting for his return. Amelia was totally feeling it and posing like a pro (which is pretty rare these days). Must have been something about the promise of candy.....
Did I mention that GG whipped this dress together in no time flat? I say "whipped" because she had just finished slaving over Amelia's flower girl dress and still had it in her to churn out the Annie costume too. Is Amelia lucky or what?? I would also like to mention that the whole costume cost less than $5 in materials too...woo!
We met a few friends down on Main St. As you can see, everyone was pretty giddy!
Emma made the cutest Minnie Mouse EVER! Check out her tiny pumpkin bucket.
Let the (trick or treating) games begin. Just ignore Uncle Dave in the background who couldn't even stop texting to enjoy a little fun with his only niece. Kidding Dave ;)
Amelia was pretty funny and received several compliments on her talking. She would say "trick or treat" on the approach and then "thank you" after the candy was dropped in her bucket. As she turned to leave, she would throw in a "Happy Halloween" or "Have a good night".
This was year #3 of Main St. trick or treating and one of my favorite Halloween traditions yet. Thanks to Uncle Dave, GG, and Grandma for joining us this year!
