Halloween

Lily, Henry, Kate and Kara. Once we actually got outside to trick-or-treat, Kate wouldn't let go of my hands.
Oh, the treasures!

Kara's just happy to be part of it all.

So the girls had a fun filled week full of halloween festivities. Besides wearing their costumes around the house all week long, Kate had a little halloween party/parade with her joy school and then on Friday night we joined with some friends Henry and Lily for trick-or-treating. Good thing for Henry and Lily who were all pumped up and ran to every house. Without their enthusiasm I think Mike and I would have had to hold the girls' treat baskets for them. After about two houses, Kara got the jist of it. In fact, she even decided she didn't just want candy, but wanted to stay with them for the night. We had to pry her out of a few houses. Needless to say, they had a great time. Kate came home, dumped out her treasures and started organizing her goods (that's thanks to her daddy's DNA). Kate wanted to savor everything and Kara just wanted the blue suckers, which she had about ten of (who invented blue suckers anyway?).
