Halloween *part II* :)

This year Halloween was the best.  We went trick or treating around our own neighborhood which had a pretty good turnout, and got to pass out candy to kids.  Every year I would buy candy, and every year, NO kids would show up.  This year they actually did, I think I might have been a little too excited.  I decked out our deck *pun intended ;)* with some awesome spider webs with a large scary spider and some jack-o-lantern garland and pumpkin lights and a few other miscellaneous things.  You could definitely tell that we were celebrating Halloween. When it came time for our little family to go trick or treating, I filled a bowl with what was left of the candy and told the kids we passed that it was there since we were out and about.  I also warned them to only take one piece each because I put a camera up and I knew where they lived.  Lol their faces were PRICELESS.  The girls were so excited to go trick or treating.

We even got dad in on the gig!!  (Trust me, its a big deal :))

They have him wrapped around their tiny little fingers.  <3

After we wrapped up all the houses on our block, we visited a few other places.  The last place we went was to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  Their block always has almost every house participating so its a fun one!

By the time we got home the girls were no where close to being ready to go to sleep.

 
So I let them stay up for just a bit later than usual and indulge in few small pieces of candy.  They were in heaven. All in all, we had a great night.  Hope you all had a great one too!!

Happy Halloween from the Stanescu's!! <3

Halloween (the beginning) :)

Halloween time is here!!! The girls are super ecstatic this year.  They chose their own costumes, and makeup/hair.  They are all into it!  I love all the excitement of this part of the year. With birthday, halloween, thanksgiving, and Christmas, its just non stop!

Scarlett is going as Rapunzel.

I think she makes an awesome blonde and an awesome Rapunzel. :) She LOVES the long Rapunzel wig.  She insists on growing her hair that long now. 

Cassie is going as Cinderella.

Since her hair is short we borrowed a wiglet and added it to her hair and I think it matched pretty well!  She was so happy that she got to wear "fake hair" too. Lol They had their Halloween Parade at school and got to show off their costumes. Boy did they show off too. To say these girls like attention is an understatement.  I swear they are going to be actresses when they grow up!  Cassie was excited to see that her teacher dressed as a princess too!

We also went to Bashas and decorated a Halloween cake.  They love decorating anything really but cakes are fun because if you "accidentally" get icing all over your hands/arms/etc you just gotta lick it off right?!  Well thats what they think so they went all out. 

So far its been a good start but tonight is Halloween so Halloween candy, Here we come!  We have about 4 destinations we are hitting up tonight so lots of pictures to come!!! lol  Happy Halloween everybody!!
