Halloween

We are so lucky to live in a neighborhood that is super kid friendly, and every year we have a Halloween parade over by the park. Our friend Courtenay had a bunch of people over before the parade for mimosas (which i could not indulge in!) and brunch that was really fun. Then the whole crew of us walked over to the parade, where the local fire department also sends a fire truck which the kids love. It amazes me every year how many kids we have in our neighborhood, wow! Everyone attends and comes out of the woodwork for the parade.

Maggie was not feeling it so she stayed in her wagon, in her Ariel costume with. At least 3 or 4 Ariel dolls. She's a little obsessed. Riley loved the fire truck and all of the action around her. She is such a social butterfly compared with her sister!

Note the multiple Ariel dolls in attendance

Daddy & Sebastian

Lots of neighbors

And lots of wagons

We had pizza at the Mulledys after as we'll. really an awesome day in the neighborhood!

By actual Halloween, Maggie had already been wearing the Ariel costume daily for over a week, and forcing Riley into Sebastian as well. It was cold and pouring rain, but we decided to brave the storm anyway and hit just a few surrounding houses for trick-or-treating for the effect. R refused the Sebastian costume and went with a mismatched bumble bee outfit, and luckily M agreed to wear her rain boots in place of the Ariel heels, phew. 

Here they are geared up to hit the road

M was very concerned with the umbrella covering her crown. R just ran! She also walked into every house we trick or treated at...luckily we only made a few stops and no one minded!

First stop, their buddy Mrs. Brown!

Trick-or-treat! 🎃
