The A Team's Happenings: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

So today I've caught up on our blog, be sure to read the 3 posts below. We had a quiet but nice Halloween. Only about 20 trick-or-treaters but tons of candy (oops!) and no tricks.

It's a little difficult to see but the Coburg Cow even dressed up for Halloween - she's a ghost, I think.

Carving the pumpkin - Maggie May and her "conehead" right on cue. She loves raw pumpkin! Along with every other eatable and non-eatable thing in the universe, except a lemon - crazy dog! I love that she shares our pumpkin carving tradition!

Then it was time for face painting. Alyssa is notorious for changing her mind up until the last minute of what she is going to be for Halloween. This year she was first going to be a Ballerina, then a Skeleton (we bought a costume for that one) then finally Dracula Vampire Girl (Gotta go buy face paint on Halloween day!) Anyway we both had fun while my sweet girl turned into this . . .

Ready for action - Happy Halloween y'all!
