Halloween 2009 ...

Halloween in our new neighborhood was really awesome, the day started with a Halloween party at our clubhouse from 2 - 4, there was a parade of costumes to the clubhouse led but the local fire department, it was really cool, I have video but again it takes too long to load so maybe later ... there the kids had hotdogs and juice and went on hayrides, played in the hay hunting for treasure and just got a bunch of free goodies, they also had their pictures taken which was fun although the line was a long one. There was music and dancing, it was really cool and thank Heavens the rain held off till it was over with.

Every Halloween the weather is just strange it is either so damn cold or like this year it was crazy warm, Jades costume was not too warm although it looks that way, it was light weight thank Heavens, so even though we had long sleeves under it and tights we took those off later and even that night trick or treating she didn't get cold.

She went as a Snow Princess ...









Here are some pics from the afternoon at the clubhouse. It was Ambers naptime so Dave stayed home with her, I feel bad sometimes that he misses out but thank God he is not a social guy so most of the time he doesn't mind missing out and would rather be home playing on his computer, yeah I know ... boring right but that's just how he is and what he enjoys so oh well ... as long as he is happy right !!!



Some of Jades friends from school, the girl in the red dress is a neighbor and she is in Jades class, Jade really likes her but they don't get to play outside together too much, I guess Jade is more of an outdoors girl than she is.



There were two of these going all afternoon, the kids had a ball, what a clever idea.



Just some of the people that attended, it was a really good turnout.



She took her hat off just for a few minutes ... she loved it on when I think she looked cuter with it off but it was her costume so if she wanted to cook with it on, then so be it :-)



My little Ladybug !!!



Always my smiley girl :-)





A close up ...



She was so chatty in her exersaucer but in the pics it looks like she is singing :-)



With Jades stash of candy from trick or treating.



That's another Halloween over, but really it was awesome in this neighborhood and some houses were done up so amazingly, it started raining a bit while we were out so I told Dave to take Amber home and then he could also hand out candy to the trick or treaters but what I didn't realize was that the camera was in the stroller :-( It didn't rain too long and I wish Dave had come back out coz really some people really went all out ... did I say I love this neighborhood !!! Well I am sure next year it will be even better.

Remember to scroll down as I have done a bunch of updates today, Amber is waking up and I have one more to go but I did more than I thought so good :-) Enjoy !!!
