Halloween Fun

We are back from trick-or-treating. We brought home quite a haul and were able to keep the candy eating to a minimum - 20 pieces isn't too much before bedtime right? The girls had a great time and I've attached a few pics for your enjoyment.

Before you even ask I will explain the costumes. Ashlyn is - apparently - a witch. In her words, "an angry witch Mommy"! Anna's costume will need to be clarified. I will do that with the exact verbiage of our original discussion of Halloween costumes a few weeks ago...

Mommy: Anna, what do you want to dress up as for Halloween?
Anna (with no hesitation): A prince!
Mommy: You want to be a princess?
Anna (looking at me like I'm the dumbest person on the planet): No Mommy - a prince - like Prince Charming.
Mommy: Ok Anna - you're going to be a prince.

Now who am I to tell my adorable daughter that she can't be a prince. Sure, it is not the typical Halloween costume for a little girl, but telling her she couldn't be a prince would be like me telling her she couldn't be President of the United States when she grows up. Ok - that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point.

So Anna went as a prince (in a costume I made by the way) and Ashlyn went as an angry witch. Fun was had by all and the girls are now racing around the living room on a chocolate high. I think I'm going to stick them on the treadmill til they wear out.
