Pre-Halloween

Pumpkin carving, Boo at the Zoo, carnival going, spooky Kalmia Garden trails and Halloween parties are all apart of our Pre-Halloween Fun!   (Which is why we gather several costumes each year.)  Both of my girls never seem to be able to make a final decision on costumes each year, and frankly, they tire of wearing the same costumes to our events.  So, to make it easier on all of us, we gather lots of accessories and have lots of choices in costumes!  Sometimes all it takes is a trip to our very own dress-up trunk!  This year, Mary Clare decided on her pink pony costume about 20 minutes before we walked out of the door to go trick-or-treating.  She had been Snow White all day but made a last minute costume change.  Typical.  McCanless surprised me and wore her Pirate costume most of this Halloween season.

We pimped out our Jack-O-Lantern this year, thanks to Kacy and William.  They sent the girls a princess/ bling carving kit.  Mary Clare had nothing to do with the pumpkin once she had a good look at the insides.  She screamed once her hand touched the “slime.”

This was the night of the THA Halloween carnival.  Mary Clare decided to be Katy Perry, aka Cupcake Fairy.
