Halloween Prep

Grandma and Papa had the kids during the day a few weeks before Halloween and I came home to photos of Spider Man and Ariel surrounded by festival activities.

Look at him, sitting so still, little hands on his legs, girly headband in the unruly hair...

Decorating his pumpkin with Grandma...

And Abbs getting Ariel on her face...

And we ushered in the (surely) annual Halloween school party. 

We were busy getting ready for the Trunk or Treat ("make it fun, but no candy!"), the Cake Walk ("enough for a whole family") and of course, Halloween Night ("I want to be Rosetta the Fairy, not Tinkerbell!" "I want to be Tigger, not Peter Pan!")

And so - Rosetta got to make the Cake Walk cupcakes as long as Tink showed up on the big night.

And we even got to see Papa during our hard work.
