Halloween and all that stuff
Halloween has come and gone and November is here already. Here's a brief look at our Halloween festivities in a mere sixteen photos. Introducing Glinda and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Trunk-or-Treat. This is the only photo of Charlie in his costume, who slept soundly through most of the fun of this week. He was a duck.
Nora waiting to see Hailey in her school's Halloween parade.
Check out the air Nora has on that jump! She was so excited to see Hailey in a parade.
Can you spot Hailey?
One day we woke up, and our backyard tree that has resisted changing color transformed into bright yellow overnight! The girls loved the leaves, and by the next day, all the leaves had dropped and the tree is bare.
Daily dose of Charlie.
Annual pumpkin carving. Hailey wanted a kitty, Nora wanted a Ghostie,
And Charlie wanted a classic jack-o-lantern. I think he did a great job for a four-week-old.
Glinda.
Wicked Witch.
Trick-or-treating.
Whoops! There goes Hailey's hat! It was windy trick-or-treating.
I mean this as a compliment: I think Hailey is the BEST wicked witch ever.
Happy Halloween!

How fun! Annie was Dorothy this year... too bad we don't live close anymore!
Very cute pics. Looks like your holiday was a huge succes!
We just watched Wizard of Oz with the kids for the first time and I was SO delighted to see Glinda, for me that was the best part of that show seeing how ridiculous she was when I remembered her being so glamorous as a child. Nora really redeems that role for me. And I LOVE that shot of Hailey sans hat.
I, too, am very impressed with Charlie's pumpkin-carving skills. The costumes turned out great and Ben thinks Nora looks like she's flying in the picture where she's excited to see Hailey. That's a feat the real Glinda never pulled off.
So I'm just wondering if the witch casting had anything to do with personalities?---Is Hailey going to look back on this Halloween and write a self-help book about how to overcome your childhood labels.
I just hope no-one remembers me dressed as a cheerleader. That's one Halloween I'm trying to put behind me.
