Since Blake is in Jr. High this year he didn't get to go Trick-or-Treating...some how he felt he was too old for all the other Halloween festivities too. (We did get him to participate making Halloween cookies, but some how I forgot to take pictures.)
And since Dad has never been excited to carve pumpkin Ashlyn and I worked on the one she brought home from school together and the boys missed out!
She just wanted a traditional pumpkin this year...nice and easy.
Her costume choice was even easier! She wanted to be a punk rocker and dye her hair pink. We added some leg warmers, lots of bracelets, hot pink lip stick/blush and bright blue eye shadow to add to the effect...and of course a rock star shirt - by 8 year old standards that meant Ross Lynch.
Then instead of going out alone we invited her best friend from school for the last couple of years to come Trick-or-Treating with us. The girls were pretty excited and ran from house to house all around the neighborhood and us moms lagged behind and enjoyed chatting.
And no Halloween would be complete without the traditional "dump your bucket to swap and organize candy" event at the end of the night. It was a lot of fun so they are already planning for next year!
