Halloween 2011

I am attempting to catch up with my blogging.  Not to say I will stay caught up, but I am trying at least, right?   On Monday, we had a fun evening of parading around in costumes and trick or treating.   SK requested to be Rapunzel this year.  This was the first year she got a vote in what she wanted to be.  She already had the costume (received for her birthday from Nana and Papa) so all we did was make some fun Rapunzel hair.  SK picked the brightest yellow yarn she could find and we went to work figuring out how to make long hair (braided with flowers of course, just like Rapunzel). 
We started out the night eating a quick bite with friends at our place then headed out to the basketball  court with all of the other kids on campus for a parade of costumes.  All the kiddos were so excited and cute.  After the parade the kids scattered to the apartments to go trick or treating.  SK really got into it.  After finishing up with the apartments here on campus, we headed with some friends to a neighborhood closeby and did a little more trick or treating. 
It was a fun night that wasn't too cold to begin with at least.  By the end of the night it was getting a bit chilly though. 
Now we have a big ole bowl of candy that keeps tempting me (and SK too).  It makes for good motivation to finish her meals though :)

SK with her buddy Joanna!

All smiles at the end of the night with her buddies Kara and Sophia!
