Halloween 2011



Halloween 2011 was quite a treat...for all of us!

This year, Sophie had a blast on Halloween.  Since early October,
she would come home singing Halloween songs, some I
remember from a long, long time ago.  I was surprised that they
were still being sung, and that I could still remember the words!

We began talking about what she wanted to be on Halloween. 
She decided that she wanted to be a princess.  We looked
around at different princess costumes, many of which I did not
really like (and she did, of course).  Finally, we decided that she
would be Snow White.  Sophie has Snow White's hair,
so it was perfect!

On Thursday night before Halloween,

Sophie's school held their annual Trunk-or-Treat.  The

weather was perfect, and everyone came out to

enjoy the evening.



We ran into our neighbor, Lauren, there. 

She plays with Sophie a lot on the weekends,

so Sophie was really excited to see her.

Sophie's friend, Lily Kate (aka, Spider Girl), soon

joined us, and they jumped right into the festivities! 

They quickly filled their buckets with LOTS of candy,

so much that Sophie was soon asking me to carry her's

because it was so heavy.

As we were making the last round, Sophie and Lily Kate

ran into their classmate, Cooper (aka, Luigi).  I slowed them

long enough to get a quick photo before they were

off and running again!

The night was great, but we had to hurry on home so that

the sugar high could wear off  we could get a good night's rest

before Sophie's class party the next day.

Here we are, ready to go again! 

When we got to school,

Sophie's teacher, Ms. Cindy, was very surprised to see

Sophie dressed as Snow White.  Apparently,

Sophie had been telling her for two weeks that she was going

to be a bunny!  I'm glad I did not have a rebellion on my

hands while trying to get ready for school!

Here is Sophie's sweet class, all dressed in their costumes.

They are always smiling and laughing!
