Saturday, we signed the girls up for the annual DBS princess party which benefits a local charity. They dressed up in their princess costumes and were assigned a "princess" to do their makeup and hair. At the end of it, the girls went on stage to show off their new look. The really enjoyed being pampered for an afternoon. Saturday was also Allie's real first sleepover with BB & Abby. She was so excited to be staying at BB's house! On Sunday BB took the girls to the park with some of her friends' grandkids. 
What a fun Halloween! This year we all dressed up as super heroes from the DC Comic books. Abby and Allie made such cute super heroes and had been practicing their poses all week. It was cold and rainy for the first few minutes, but thankfully the rain dissipated and left us with a chilly evening. Our neighbor hitched up a trailer of hay so the girls rode from street to street with all the other neighborhood kids. What a blast! Abby's BFF lives just down the street from us so the two of them went off on their own trick or treating adventures while Allie met a few girls and went trick or treating with them, mommy was not allowed to go, but instead watched closely from afar. The kids were having so much fun, it was hard to get them home for bath and bedtime. It's going to be a rough day for their teachers with these kiddos' Halloween Hangovers.
Abby brought home a pumpkin from her pumpkin patch visit on Friday. It was too small to carve so we agreed to let her and Allie paint a couple pumpkins in addition to carving. It was a busy Sunday morning! We started with the painting while mommy & daddy prepped the pumpkins for cleaning and carving. Allison still is not into the cleaning or carving, but Abigail was into it. She loved the way the pumpkin 'guts' felt like slime. The pumpkins ended up being really cute and another special memory for our family.
This weekend really turned cold on us! It was only in the 20's when we woke up Saturday morning to get ready for Boo Bash, which made it the coldest one to date! The weather really kept a lot of people away even though most of the activities had been moved inside. The only outside was the hayride and no one was brave enough for the weather except our family so we had a nice hayride all to ourselves! It really ended up being the best Boo Bash so far!
