Halloween TOTing

Yes, same picture that is on brother's blog, but I will say some different stuff.

Isabel wore her Alice in Wonderland costume. A few people knew who she was TOTing, but not as many as she had hoped. She has already told me that next year she wants to be Annie, which will be easy enough and I think she will be more recognizable (unless people think she's the Wendy's girl - LOL!)

We looked at the 70% off costumes at Target yesterday and couldn't find any she really liked a lot and she didn't want to be a costume that anyone else had. She likes to be original, so I told her that we have a whole year to decide and we will make a costume next year then instead of buying something. I think she will like being creative and coming up with her own costume better anyways.

Lil Monster's Ball

 Here is Isabel in her Alice in Wonderland Costume. All of these pictures (except the pumpkin one are from the Lil Monster's Ball at the Owatonna Art Center. It was such a fun Halloween Activity. I sure hope they do it again next year!

These are their pumpkins that they carved with our (heavy) assistance.

Be sure to check out brother's blog for other pictures, as well as my Wordless Wednesday on Save Green Being Green on Halloween.

Playgroup Halloween Party

Just a few pictures of Isabel at the playgroup Halloween Party. We had 10 families there, so I think there was about 25 kids there then. 

I am making her an Alice in Wonderland costume, but the tulle I ordered did not come yet. So, she had to be the Pumpkin Princess costume she picked out after Halloween last year.

More Halloween 2010

The top picture is of Isabel playing in her witch costume at the playgroup Halloween party.

This is some pictures of some of the activities at the ON Lil Monster Bash. They did a good job for a store providing a free event.

Halloween 2010

This top picture is of Isabel at the picture station at the Old Navy Lil' Monster Bash. I think the witch costume was her favorite this year. I had bought her a fairy costume and a witch costume.

Isabel wanted to be a fairy princess (from her costume box) to go to the Halloween Carnival at the firehall that was put on by the high school Student Council. Grandma & Grandpa M. took her to this carnival. The night before daddy took Isabel & Henry to a Haunted Schoolhouse & bus at the firehall, which was put on by the high school SADD organization.

I took the kids trick-or-treating around the neighborhood and pulled them in the wagon. They seemed to have a good time and liked checking out their loot once they got home. We didn't stay out too long, because after a while Isabel didn't want to put her hoodie back on because it covered her costume. She is wearing it for the above picture, but as soon as we got to the first house she took it off & it stayed off.
Last night we took the kids to a Halloween event at RBNC. We went to it last year and it wasn't too crowded, this year it was very crowded and not as enjoyable as it could have been because lines were too long for things. But we did get to go on the horse-drawn wagon ride (made that a priority since Henry loves animals so much and really wanted to go by the horses), did the halloween games, Isabel went on the inflatable dinosaur slide, and had campfire food by a bonfire. To this event, she was just a princess (from her costume box).

The picture of just Isabel is of her is at the Halloween & Monster storytime at FPL. She is wearing the fairy costume I bought her for this year. The other pictures are of her preschool Halloween party.
