Little Bo Peep and The Lost Sheep

We had a great Halloween! Leightyn has loved her Little Bo Peep costume since she got it. The biggest problem was dealing with her new long hair. Mylea wasn't to sure what was going on, but she thought it was funny when she was dressed as a sheep. I decided to make a day of it. I got the girls ready early and took them to Toys R Us for a costume parade with Geoffery the Giraffe. Leightyn didn't get to close to the giraffe at first. Mylea was all over him.

After Toys R Us, we headed back home to see what our neighbors Macy and Ava were dressed as. Macy was dressed as a ladybug. Here are some pictures of Leightyn, Mylea, and Macy.






After taking some pictures, we hopped on Curtis' golfcart and headed up the street to see Ava.


Ava wasn't home yet, but her daddy (Graham) had plenty of candy to hand out. This was Leightyn's 4th Halloween but only her first time to go trick or treating. She now thinks that if she says "Trick or Treat", someone has to give her candy.

After having fun in the neighborhood, we headed to church for a few hours to have fun at the carnival. There were all kinds of games set up, candy and toys to win, and lots of food to eat.
Mylea loved playing the duck game. Leightyn had a hard time picking out her candy.
At this game, Leightyn had to throw the rubber egg into the frying pan.


Mylea helped kids knock down their bowling pins.

After playing at church, we headed over to my dad and mom's for their annual Halloween bash. Curtis, Bethany, and Macy met us over there for snacks and trick or treating. Curtis, Bethany, Macy, Leightyn, Mylea, and me all loaded up on the "vroom vroom" (gator) and went trick or treating. I guess people quit handing out candy after 9:00 because very few lights were on. We did find about five houses to go to. Leightyn would walk up to the door, say trick or treat, say thank you, and then ask if it was time to go to another house. We did this over and over before heading back to hand out candy at mom and dad's.
The kids seemed to have a great time. Leightyn has already informed me that she will be sleeping in her costume and wearing it to church on Sunday......we shall see about that.
