Halloween is so different here, they don't have trunk or treat and there is a designated time for trick or treating. We were unsure of where to go so we went down town Arlington Heights with a family from my church. I guess a lot of other people had the same idea because it was packed. I got so many compliments on both the girls costumes but I had people stopping me to check out Aniela's. The kids had a great time and got tons of candy. Once we got home I decided to try a few building in our complex. Some of the doors were locked and the ones that were open only had one door who wanted trick or treater's. (you hung a sign on your door if you wanted people to stop) Everyone we went to said that we were the only trick or treater's had and were giving out handfuls of candy. Areya could have kept going all night but Aniela was getting tired so we headed home.
Areya had a Halloween party at preschool. They had food and game and sang songs they have been working on. One of the mom's made really cute spider cookies fun treats. Aniela wants to do everything her big sister does so she wore her costume to preschool too.
I was a party pooper this year and decided not to carve pumpkins. Maybe next year when we have a house and Aniela is older. I know Boo me!
