Happy Halloween!!!

Yesterday Haley's EC class had a Halloween parade.

There were lots of songs too.

 Today Stephie's class had their party too.  Look, two candy corn witches!

 Ready for trick-or-treating...except for the rain.

 Stephie did this all by herself!

 Serious business at home....

...led to much fun and goofiness later at Northside Park with Stephie.

Newton Park and the library

Haley was excited to hand out her pretzels to her music class.  We learned the hard way (from the Butterfinger candy bar debacle of 2009) that music class parents prefer healthy snacks.

It was the perfect day for Newton Park.

 And finally, library time.

 Recognize this guy?  Great to see an old friend.

Very poor, even by our standards

It is a blogging low.  Crappy after-dinner art projects.  Sorry.

 At least this one is cute!  Haley and Daddy carved this pumpkin together at EC today.

A few more parade pics

Much thanks to Mimi and Grandpa Allen for these!

Trick-or-treating in downtown Glen Ellyn

Finally, Halloween week has begun!  We walked up into town...

 ...minor duck butt adjustment needed...

 ...and then hit the parade.

 The girls loved collecting treats together.

 Great costumes, as usual!
