The L.A. Dime

It rained on Saturday afternoon so I tried to find my inner “crafty mom” and decided to have a Halloween cookie making session for Sophie and Willa. The cookies got a bit dry but the girls had a great time adding icing and sprinkles.

Mister Clayton has figured out how much fun playgrounds can be…..

Trying to beat the squirrels from eating the entire batch of pumpkins we got, Brad and the kiddos carved them on Sunday afternoon. Sophie had drawn out some “happy”, “sad” and “baby” faces that she wanted to see on the pumpkins. Clay was happy stirring up the seeds with a rainbow pencil.

There was a parade and classroom trick-or-treat at Sophie’s school which she thoroughly enjoyed. She was a ballerina during the day but to allow for extra layers for the night time outing, she was a queen (re-purposed from last year’s CHA celebration).

We spent about an hour going door to door while Brad (dressed as an 80′s zombie with some awesome make-up thanks to neighbor Ashley!!) stayed back handing out candy. We didn’t get as many kids as we expected so now we’ve got a little bit of a candy stash that we will just somehow need to get through:)

PS: Sophie’s already told us that next year, she wants to be Belle….we’ll see if she remembers that in 2012
