We started our candy collecting last night going "downtown" to Uptown Normal's business Trick or Treating. I could not believe the ridiculous number of people out on such a windy and cold night! The only reason we went was our time tonight would be limited before heading to church. Our Dinosaur Diva and Little Red Riding Hood did pretty good before they started to go numb with coldness.
We left Uptown and headed to our friends the Comadena's. We have been making these stops since Shelby's first outing at 1 1/2. Mark was teaching his night class at ISU so we chatted with Pam for a bit and Morgan read the book she gave her. Thanks to Pam for tolerating 3 takes on the picture. As you can see by Shelby's gum, I gave up after 3.
Our final stop of the night was the Berta's. The girls love eating goldfish at their house and Ray and Karen didn't disappoint. They gave them goodie bags full of all kinds of fun pumpkin stuff. Morgan read about 6 books and then we headed home. We appreciate the Comadenas and the Bertas for allowing us special visiting hours since we couldn't get there tonight.
With our busy schedule we didn't get to make our annual visit with Jenn and Seth (old babysitter). They are usually one of our special stops. At school today the girls had class parties. They both had a lot of fun.

other game was pin the nose on the pumpkin
her nose is #5 - not too bad!
I headed over to Shelby's room and found her just finishing up a game. Here she was tossing headbands on the pumpkin stems.

At 5:00 we headed out for 1 hour of fun. We met up with the neighbors and the kids all had fun together. Look at Tinkerbell. How cute is she?!? She was so excited about her little pumpkin bucket.

Shelby, Carson, Kyle, Ryan, Morgan, Alice and Henry
our next door neighbor to the south had this great Skippyjon Jones pumpkin!
Morgan was so excited!

Morgan and Jamie
he belongs to the house with the great pumpkin
I had the idea for Morgan to be Red Riding Hood because I played that part in my 1st Grade school musical. I knew I had that cape around her somewhere and finally found it in the 4th place I looked. Here is a comparison picture.
I think the girls had fun even though it was kind of a rushed and crazy couple of days. Happy Halloween everyone!
