Happy Halloween 2012!


Did you have as much fun as we did? I hope so! For the first time in our over four years of living in Chicago, we found the best and most amazing block to go door-to-door trick-or-treating. Conor and I both remarked that we haven't had that much fun since we were kids...um, 25 or so years ago? We had a lot of (last-minute) fun with costumes this year. Lillie was a one-of-a-kind purple Power Ranger...she decided there needed to be a purple one, not just pink, and so it was. She even named the character Purple Flower Power Ranger. Quinn decided, the day of, that he wanted to be Super Why, and so he was! A little colored duct tape and scissors along with some plain colored clothes, and their costumes were done! Little Adele was our ladybug gal, and she fits the part quite well, don't you think?


The day started with Lillie getting to wear her costume at school, then a fun parade that wound around the block of her school. Costumes these days are so cool, aren't they?

Then in the evening we went to the previously mentioned perfect street and met up with some (princess) friends. Lillie and Quinn had no idea what they were in for at the start. Halfway through the block, they had to empty their (large to begin with) pumpkin bags to make room for more candy!


Here are the kiddos in our clan from last night. Nice looking crew, eh?


Adele hung out in the stroller and took it all in...


The first half of the evening was also spent in a near sprint by everyone. Amazingly, they were still going strong an hour or so later when it all came to an end. After all, there was candy to be had once we finally got back home!


I love seeing the kids have this much fun. Can't wait until next year...
