We had one small 'inside' pumpkin that she colored on and put stickers on during multiple occasions.
We waited to carve the 'outside' pumpkins until Sunday. She wasn't so sure about the insides at first...
but got over it!
They had a class party at daycare on Monday afternoon-turns out Nora was not the only cupcake in her room, so was friend Myra. And Myra's mom bought the right size costume...
A class photo-they all look so enthused!
Following a parade through school, it was time to begin the 5 continuous hours of sugar intake. Nora and I made 'pumpkin' cakes on Sunday-Martha Stewart's looked so much cuter...
Nora was not very cooperative with getting her picture taken, and Finn was not very interested in wearing his costume, so we have no pictures of the two of them this year. The Shaw family hosted a pre trick or treat pizza party and the weather couldn't have been nicer-breezy and 70! As usual, our neighborhood was just buzzing with families, adults having just as much fun as the kids. It truly is a fun night to live here. The only dilemma is that nobody wants to stay inside to hand out candy-everyone wants to go out. Six houses worth of us sat in front of our house under the Shaws' heater handing out candy, the best of both worlds!
Since I had purchased the cupcake costume for Nora, I decided to dig out my culinary school gear and be a baker this year. It was easy, and worked well, pregnant and all.
Ummm, I'm not sure what to describe Jeff's 'costume' as...
Kerry and Paul came over with Ellie.
Nora loved her, as always.
Trick or treating with Lily.
Back home, sitting on Diane's lap.
I have no idea how much candy (particularly Kit-Kats) Nora had, but a good time was had by all!
