But here are a few more pictures. The first are from the Halloween Parade in Jim Thorpe. It's a pretty small parade, but it goes right by our house and they throw out candy, so how could we miss it??
Here's Izzy in her halloween costume. She was a ladybug and got lots of compliments on her costume.
We got dressed up 4 different times for Halloween this year, so I didn't take pictures of every one (since 3 of them were all the same). But here are the pictures from our Halloween party at church (dress-up opportunity #3). They were supposed to dress up as characters from the Bible.
Julia is a frog (again...she's either from the ark, or one of the plagues...we couldn't decide if she was a happy frog or an angry frog). She had lots of fun wandering the church (which on Sundays she doesn't get to do). Chloe was dressed as Miriam (with Baby Moses in the basket), and Gracie was Mrs. Noah. She brought a frog and lemur with her to represent some of the ark animals.
Gracie enjoyed bobbing for apples. I don't think Chloe ever did, although she told me that they'd practiced bobbing for apples in their room that morning (with a bin and some balls) so they knew exactly what to do.
Part of the activities was to give clues so people could guess who you were dressed up as. The girls both did really well and spoke into the microphone and everything. Chloe said "I'm Moses' sister and I took care of him when he was in his basket in the river" and Gracie said "I helped get animals onto the ark" I was pleasantly surprised that they both were willing to get up there and talk. A year and a half ago, Chloe would have gotten shy and run to find me, but she's getting much more willing to get up in front of people.
We had a fun and busy Halloween, and ended up with LOTS of candy. Chloe thinks that we have enough candy that it will last us until NEXT halloween.
