live.life.create.art: Halloween 2012

Talk about a crazy Halloween this year! So many fun things to do and see and we covered it all just about! Today the kids had a half a day at school so Zoey went home with a friend until I got off of work and then we headed over to Peace Lutheran Church for some Trunk-or-Treating fun.

They always have great games set up for the kids, and this year was no exception. Zoey loves getting to go to Trunk-or-Treat so much! It's something that I don't think she will soon outgrow.

For those that may not know what trunk-or-treating is, it's where you line up a whole bunch of vehicles with decorated trunks and instead of going from house to house to trick-or-treat you can let your kids go from car to car to trunk-or-treat! It's great! At Peace they have half of the lot partitioned off so that the kids can just run and play and not worry about traffic or strangers...there are old fashioned games, face painting, pumpkin decorating and a bouncy house as well as fresh baked goods and treats.

Here is a picture of Zoey and Leo...Leo is thrilled to be dressed up as a pumpkin again this year. You can tell right?

Had to get a picture of Zoey sorting all her candy of course, one of the first things she does after coming home from trick-or-treating!

This is her carved pumpkin this year...

Last night I thought it would be a good idea to make up some whoopie pies...all while I was helping Zoey with carving pumpkins, cooking dinner and trying to shoo the neighbor dog away from our house. Not the best timing but they turned out yummy.

Zoey did some last minute decorating for trick-or-treater's that we have gotten this evening, though we didn't get even one!

Last weekend while we were in Appleton visiting Ethan's family we also hit up the Boo Zoo at the Zoo in Green Bay. We may as well get as much use as possible of Zoey's costume after all...
