Halloween 2012

Halloween 2012 was a fun day in the Freihaut household.  Addy chose to use wear her Cinderella costume that we had bought for our Disney vacation in May and Carter fell in love with his Spider man costume at Target in early September, so decisions about costumes were pretty easy this year.  On the day of Halloween I was signed u to volunteer for Addy's Pre-K Halloween party, so Carter and I headed into her classroom for the festivities.  I was in charge of doing a craft, so we made jack-o-lantern windsocks.  The Pre-K students got to parade down the elementary halls in their costumes while all of the other students came out of their classrooms to watch and applaud.  Since Carter was with me and wearing his costume, he marched down the hallways with Addy and was prouder than a peacock to be in the parade.  Addy was also very proud to be the "big sister" and did her job very well!  It was very cute to watch!

 

That evening we had a quick dinner and headed out to our neighborhood trick-or-treating.  It was a bit chilly and windy that evening and the lots in our neighborhood are pretty far apart, so we decided to drive around the neighborhood.  We left a candy bowl on the front porch for visiting trick-or-treaters and were on our way.  The kids had been to several other trick-or-treating events prior to Halloween, so they ended up with a huge amount of candy, which eventually was taken to Derek's office.
