Halloween fun!

Halloween is a fun holiday. There are usually lots of festivities. And there are lots of decorating for littles to do, and my littles love some decorating! This year, Augusta dressed up as Elsa and Calla was Anna. Yes, they are Frozen obsessed! 

We love painting pumpkins. I started it when Augusta was a baby because it was an easy way for her to get to help. And the tradition has continued. Both girls love to do it!! 

We also still carve pumpkins. The girls like the finished product, but aren't really into the whole process. And who can blame them. Pretty much the only part they can do is extremely nasty--cleaning out the pumpkin. They both tried it this year though! 

This year, the forecast for Halloween was rain. And not just a little rain, basically a monsoon. So to be safe, we wanted to get our trick-or-treating in other ways. 

We did a family trick-or-treat on campus the Thursday before the actual day. It's always fun because there are bounce houses and games. But it's also always crowded. And not the best candy haul since there are only like 5 sororities participating. But we still enjoy it. 

On Friday, some neighborhoods decided to go ahead and move their trick-or-treating due to the rain chances. Whole Daddy was at football, mommy and the girls met Mrs. Whitney and Turner and trick-or-treated Wellsgate. The girls had a ball going to the houses and getting candy. And also riding in the wagon Mrs. Whitney brought! 

Saturday night, Halloween, the rain actually cleared!! We had our traditional family trick-or-treat around Mims and Pa-Paul's neighborhood. The girls loved it!! Getting to be with their cousins always makes things fun! After making the rounds we had pizza for supper and the girls dug into their candy! It was definitely a successful Halloween!!
