Halloween

We started out Halloween with brunch at Nani & Poppa's house.  Lisa and I brought the costumes for all of the kids in hopes to get a great cousin costume photo but that never happened :(  Lis was able to get a pic of these two sweet girls.  Ella was Doc McStuffins (her coat and stethoscope are somewhere in the house) and Sydney was My Little Pony in the morning. 

We headed back to Coronado with full bellies and got ready to go trick or treating to the businesses along Orange Avenue.  Most stores handed out candy from 3:30-5 - perfect for those with small kiddos!

All ready!

Silly face!

And SpiderMan (aka ScaryGuy)

:)

Orange Avenue was crazy packed!!!  There were so many people but the kiddos loved being able to see the other kids dressed up in costume during the daylight so it was worth it.  

I love this picture above of Cole checking out his bag of candy

Sydney trick-or-treating

We got home and Daddy quickly carved a jack-o-lantern with one of the pumpkins we painted while we got some dinner ready to eat before trick-or-treaters came.  

We asked Sydney if she wanted to go out trick-or-treating on our street or if she wanted to pass out candy - she chose pass out candy and asked to change into her jammies :)

She was SO great at it!!! Our neighborhood was PACKED and we quickly ran out of candy, even agter dumping the kids loot from Orange Avenue into our bucket to hand out.  So, we turned off our light and Sydney and Cole asked to go back out for a little bit.  

Came home and they both dumped out their bags to check out their treats.  

The day after Halloween they asked to do their own face paint.  We said "Sure!" and they went to town.  

The end product.  *This was NOT fun trying to wipe off ...lesson learned*

And then, they decided to trade Halloween costumes... Sydney as Spiderman

And Cole got to be Minnie Mouse!  He was excited until I pulled out the camera to take his picture, I promise!

Happy Halloween!!
