Halloween 2012

It was a wonderful Halloween this year.  I helped with Margaret's school party in the morning, then I was in charge of Griffin's school party in the afternoon. (We made monster hands and owl cupcakes and played Halloween Bingo!)



Then we dressed up for the night!  Mamie wanted to design her own costume this year.  She was sort of an 80's style girl.  Griffin went as a St. Louis Cardinals baseball player, and Margaret was a leopard.








We went to a neighborhood Halloween party/dinner where we met a lot of our new neighbors, and then we had a fun night of trick-or-treating!



And then the candy sorting, trading and negotiating began. It even continued on until this morning! Man, we got a lot of candy. I'm planning on making some fun stuff with all the leftovers. (I also froze a lot of our leftover candy last year to decorate our Christmas gingerbread houses.)
