Friday we went to the Halloween party for Ava's school, at the park in our neighborhood. I have never seen so many kids under 5 at the playground at the same time. The girls had fun, even if they hardly ate any of the snacks available because they were so excited to play with friends. It was fun to see Rachel as one of the older kids in a scenario, too. Ava was particularly excited, because Grandma managed to score her an Elsa costume at the last minute. Ava (and many of her classmates) are obsessed with Frozen and Elsa this fall. In case you weren't aware, "Elsa is a great climber, Daddy."
This weekend we carved our pumpkin and Rachel decorated mandarins to take to school Monday.
Today Rachel's school held a parade, where all the K-12 students gathered at the track, then walked one lap around so they could all see each others' costumes. Dozens of parents lined the track as the kids showed off their costumes. Rachel is so excited about her Triceratops costume, beautifully handmade by Nana!
After wearing her Elsa costume all day at school, Ava changed into her Panda costume for the cooler evening weather. Mom scored this one used in Victoria during Fall Break, and it is nice and warm, if a little big this year! Panda Ava was definitely a crowd favorite as we made our way through town. She was also the first person in our family to ever trick or treat for pizza! Thanks Secret Stash for giving out mini-slices of pizza.
Starting at the "top" of Elk Ave, we walked down through town, eventually turning onto 5th, continuing right past Mommy's clinic, and ending at the Library!
As an added bonus, the Halloween festivities included Batman and Catwoman staging a battle while rappelling off the Library roof!
