In the days leading up to Halloween, both Molly's and Johnny's schools had celebrations to let the kids dress up since I guess wearing Halloween costumes to school is a thing of the past. Johnny's preschool has a Noah's Ark party ever year and the kids all dress like, you guessed it, animals! Here Johnny is donning the cheetah costume that my siblings. . . and cousins all wore as a Halloween costume at some point in our childhood! Samuel was happy to assist me with the games.
Molly's school does a book character parade. All the kids choose a book and write a little report then dress as the character and they all parade around the school. We just happen to have a shark costume for play and Molly decided immediately to be a shark; thankfully we had a shark book.
On Halloween morning I figured we better get a pumpkin carved so we made a quick jack-o-lantern.
Halloween night we took the kids trick-or-treating in the neighborhood and as usual they loved every minute of it! This year we had a mermaid, Captain America, and Thor.
