Halloween

Halloween was extra exciting around here this year because Lem had a half day inservice at school which meant he got off at 10:45 Friday morning. Us girls got up and ready and headed on over to the school to do our annual Halloween visit with Daddy, Nanny and their school friends. After we finished up at school we went to Uncle Ian's office for a visit and had some pizza lunch while we were there at the mall. Sycely was super stoked to get to wear her "Mommy penguin" costume all day.

We headed home to get the girls down for a nap before our evening festivities with friends. After a couple hours of "quiet time" we gave up on Sycley napping and got ourselves ready to head to church for the Kingdom Fair (a church-sponsored carnival type event). We stopped to get gas on the way and Sycely was asleep in her car seat before we really even got on the road to church! It made for a sweet photo-op though :)

We met up with Sycely's friend Scarlett and her family at church and the girls enjoyed touring the booths and trying out the activities. They searched for golden coins, hopscotched, fishing for prizes, scooping ducks in a pond, did face painting (a first for Sycely), bean bag tossing and Sycely did us proud, following in Mommy's footsteps, establishing her self as a professional cake-walker! After we wrapped up at the carnival we went to Nanny and Papa's to visit, have dinner and dispense candy to a few trick-or-treaters.
