Trick or Treat & Trunk or Treat

Yesterday we started the Halloween festivities! We went to the 10th annual Downtown Halloween celebration. And I don't think it's going to be an annual thing anymore for our family. It was WAY too crowded. Everybody and their Mama was there. It didn't help that Libby had fallen asleep at 5 o'clock and it started at 6. Nolen doesn't get home from work until 6 anyway, so we just planned on being a little late. We'll we were about an hour late. Libby woke up and didn't want to have anything to do with her costume.    Bless her she was just so tired. We had to talk her into putting her costume on to go "trick or treating". She finally gave in. Thank goodness!

Walking to downtown (she didn't want to wear her pink SS wig)

Getting excited...

The lines were SO long. We stood in one line for about 15 minutes and weren't making much progress. So we decided to go walk around a bit and hit a few spots.

  

The tables to the left were filled with Auburn Athletes giving autographs. It was super crowded so we just watched.

Excited after she got a first piece of candy from Miss Auburn!

Family photo... It had been a long day.

We watched the band for a little bit, then called in a night.

We had to get home and finish things for Libby's school Trunk-or-Treat.

I went the healthier route and got mini cans of play-doh as her gift to her friends.

I thought they turned out pretty cute!

Today we had Libby's school Trunk-or-Treat. Libby has been so excited about it, but this morning wasn't feeling like dressing up as Strawberry Shortcake. She wanted to dress up as Pinkalicious. (We read that book almost everyday!) Fine with me! She picked out her pink tu-tu and I got her pink leggings and a white turtleneck to wear since it was cold outside. Then she got her wand and butterfly wings. She was happy! If she's happy I'm happy! :-)

The party started at 10 o'clock so I had some time to go home and figure out what my trunk was going to look like. This is what I came up with...

Didn't really think about the wind blowing my sign everywhere though.

All the kids started off at the other parking lot where the jumping house was...

Libby didn't want to jump with all those crazy kids. So she and her friend Avery hung out.

Then we went trunk-or-treating... Libby's favorite!

And yes I know Libby's wings are on upside down.. ;-)

Libby got her face painted too...

And played some games...

Then everybody went inside for snack time.

Saying the blessing...

My sweet girl

Everybody enjoying their snack.

Libby's favorite costume was Mrs. Carmello's. She was the princess from the Princess and the Frog. (Mrs. Rich was the frog.)

You would think Libby would be worn out, but that's not the case at all! We're about to go outside and burn of some of this ENERGY!

Happy Friday!
