This afternoon, we went to Trunk-or-Treat at our church. Genna had a GREAT time walking around, getting candy, eating candy, playing games and playing with friends. She was very bothered that she and "baby brother" had on costumes, but Mama and Daddy didn't.
Since I use this blog also as documenting purposes, I have to tell the story behind picking this costume. I asked Genna after school one day what she wanted to dress up as for Halloween. She quickly replied "Tinkerbell!...no, Belle!....no, a BIRD!" What???? I immediately start trying to figure out 1) how I'm going to get/make a bird costume, then, more importantly 2) how am I going to talk her out of this? I figured she would change her mind again, but she stuck to that for a few days....until I decided to take her to the Disney store. Then, after changing her mind about 5 times, she finally settled on Aurora/Sleeping Beauty. Needless to say, I was thrilled that I no longer had to worry about making a bird costume.
Andrew dressed as a dinosaur and he was not too happy about it in case you can't tell. He has 2 costumes this year, but for today I tried to pick the more comfortable and cooler one of the 2. On Halloween, he is going to be a super-cute little lion....stay tuned to see pics in another week!
2 pretty princesses.
Genna and Jason (Reese's daddy). Our Sunday School class's trunk was decorated in a 70's disco theme complete with disco ball and dance floor. Jason really dressed the part and the kids enjoyed dancing. Our class won the award for best decorated trunk! Thanks, Jason for all of your hard work!
She can even dunk in high heels!
Olivia is the cutest little witch I've ever seen!

Sleeping Beauty with Mario and Luigi!
Genna seriously wanted to get her face painted tonight, but the line was SO LONG and Andrew was getting fussy and we were all ready to go home, so I promised her that when we got home I would paint her face. This was probably better because she got to pick whatever she wanted me to paint...A ghost with black eyes, a "jack-o-lantern pumpkin" and "swirls on her eyes" (the person painting faces at church was painting designs around the kids' eyes and forehead and she really liked it...I could not do anything like that, but she was happy enough with it).
Later that day, she had a party at school, too! Here she is first sitting down to her fun lunch full of cute, special food! They had jack-o-lantern grilled cheese sandwiches, a ghost-shaped sandwich, witch's hat cookies, ghost cookies, orange cupcakes, fruit and chips. Of course, she took one bite of each sandwich, then ate her chips, fruit and cookies.
