We had the most amazing weather for Halloween this year. Perfect for Sophie’s annual school parade, where all of the classes parade around the athletic field and all the parents come to watch (and then take the kids home at 12:30 with a whole 5 hours to fill before trick-or-treating starts….)

The year the girls wanted to get their costumes at one of the pop up Halloween stories, and Sophie picked an alien abduction and Lauren picked a deer. As long as they’re happy…

The alien abduction herself parading around the filed.

The Tomasetti’s, who live next door, came over for some pre-trick-or-treating pizza and we got some pictures of the kids before they went out.

The neighborhood gang – Lauren, Maya, Emma, Sophie (unnamed alien friend).

We still had to wait about an hour after this picture was taken before they could go out. There was a lot of bouncing off the walls even before all the sugar was consumed.
