Halloween has come and gone, and here we are in November. It’s hard to believe. Yesterday’s Halloween activities included Lyla’s last soccer game of the season. It was her last and her best game yet. This girl was on fire – scoring goals, playing defense, and showing quite a bit of skill. Clearly, I’m biased, but she felt great about show she played, and we were happy to see her so proud of herself.
We celebrated the end of the season with donuts and cupcakes – just what every kid needs on Halloween!
We had a little bit of down time after the game, then it was time to get dressed and ready to head out trick or treating. The previous night, the girls and Mark carved our family pumpkin. Despite hating the fresh pumpkin smell, the girls helped take out the inside, then Mark got to work carving. We were quite impressed with his wolf. I think it’s his best one yet!
For Halloween this year, we had Athena, the Greek goddess, and a ninja! Both costumes really fit the personalities of the girls – they are so different!
There were a handful of houses that had turned their garages (and one, the whole house) into haunted houses. The girls weren’t too keen on trying them out, but we did walk by and check them out from across the street.
Cayenne came with us and even got a handed out a dog treat! The girls collected a ton of candy, saw some spooky characters, saw friends, and were wiped out not long after 8:00.
We arrived back home to our webs not glowing (as they were supposed to) and an empty candy bowl (what we expected) so, with the girls tired, we passed out some more candy to the last of the trick or treaters and called it a night. It was a fun night!!
