Halloween 2013

Halloween!
Halloween was so much fun this year.  Hudson got into it for the first time and we had a blast.  Tuesday night we decorated pumpkins for the neighborhood competition.  The girls got to do their very own pumpkins all by themselves.  They went crazy with the markers, googly eyes and glitter.  Pretty sure Sobes ate more glitter than she decorated with!

Pumpkins for the Neighborhood competition
 I went with the classic pumpkin eating a pumpkin but used the seeds as teeth.  It turned out pretty good.  I am happy to report that I came home with Second place for my age group and the girls got honorable mention!  Luckily they can't read so all they know is they got an award!

Hudson and Sobe's Twin Pumpkins
 Wednesday at Mother's Day Out the girls got to dress like a storybook character.  Hudson went as Minnie Mouse and Sobes went as Angelina Ballerina.  She wouldn't wear the ears but she was super cute in her tutu.  Wednesday night we went to Trunk or Treat with our sweet neighbors the Bell's.  The kids had a big time and Sobes got to show off her tutu to a few more people!  They got a ton of candy and Hudson was able to practice her trick-or-treating skills.  She was a bit shy at first but certainly got the hang of it in a hurry.
These two love each other

As you can see, the girls LOVE the Bell Kids!

On Halloween, the girls had their class parties and costume parade at The Academy.   Our theme for Halloween was Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  Hudson was "Izzy" and Sobes was "Scully" (the parrot).  Hudson looked super cute as you can see and Sobes...well she was hilarious!  

Unfortunately, it rained all day Thursday and they had to do the parade through school as opposed to across the street but the kids had a blast anyway.

 Because of the horrible weather, our neighborhood postponed the annual parade and trick-or-treating to Friday.  It was a beautiful day and there were a ton of people! It was so fun!  We all got decked in our pirate gear and Makers even got to take part in the parade while revealing her secret identity...Super Dog.

 We had our fun new neighbors, The Booth's, and the Kopfs over for trick-or-treating and dinner.  The kids had a blast.  Hudson became fast friends with our neighbor, Braxton.  Although she couldn't remember his name so she lovingly referred to him as "my minion" all night!  But they loved being "big kids" and handing out candy.  After over an hour of trick-or-treating, they both stood outside by themselves and handed out candy to everyone for several hours!  It was super cute!

 After a full week of Halloween fun, Hudson had her very first Dance class.  She loved the outfit and liked the class.  She was a bit shy but she went back to the studio without me and made a new friend.  She didn't do everything in the class but she said she liked it.  We are giving it a try for the Month of November before we commit to a semester!

 That is about all for now.  Here are the rest of our Halloween Week fun pictures:
