Happy Halloween 2012

 Trick or Treating with our friends Olivia & Charlie (& not pictured Zoe, Benjamin, & Caela too)

 Julia gets a lift from Daddy.

 The girls fell in love with their purchased costume, and Julia soon realized hers was the best.  People stuffed her full of candy.  They didn't really know what she was, especially with the hat off, but just seeing her brought joy to everyone around her.  I highly recommend this costume to everyone.  In fact, Elliot & Samantha have requested one for next year.  I did make it.  Pieces of felt hot glued onto some old (& hideous Christmas PJs).  The pinterest woman I stole this from made the hat out of foam...i hot glued onto a bucket hat we had slated for GoodWill.  

 Our after trick or treating was:  no rules on candy.  Eat all you can.  It was much easier for us to enforce and police this rule.  "can I have this one mom?" YES!  What about this one?  YES!  Really?  Of course, let me open it for you...and then they passed out.

Joy to the candy.  And a candid of making the pinata.  Had to see if it would fit on her since I was gluing the stretch out of it. I especially like Samantha howling at her in the background.
