Tonight was the big night at school – TRUNK OR TREAT. 

I’m no fan of Halloween. Never have been, never will be. I do love that my girls still enjoy the dress up. They enjoy the cute, fun costumes instead of the blood and gore. (Did I mention that I HATE to be scared! Using the word hate here…) 

I do love Trunk or Treat at the girls’ school though. Their school is small and a great little community. The event is the perfect size with friends and families attending. It’s not overwhelming. Just a few cars, games, dancing, cake walk, pizza and cookies. 

B and I each decorated our cars and the girls got to run around all night with their friends. It was nearly 80 degrees for the festivities — what’s up Colorado? Where the heck is fall? If you skip right over fall and go straight to snowy winter I’m going to be T.O.’ed!

the trunk winner of the night: the kids love the twister theme and the costumes were so, so festive: 

the Ford family. Kylie is in Annabelle’s class:

Rare family photo and I love it. Our ttrunks were pretty boring simple. Mine was covered in webs and lots of spiders. B’s was pretty gross…bloody kitchen tools and body stumps. We’re going to step it up next year because the girls really want a theme. They have already started planning…

Annabelle’s friend Samantha hurt this leg and Annabelle has been happily helping her get around at school. She offers to carry her lunch, folders, musical instrument etc. Tonight she carried her bucket for her so they could both collect candy.

Ready to trunk or treat:

Gwyneth and her friend Kat. How cute do they look???

B was generous with the candy, naturally making him very popular!!

Cars are ready. Bring on the trunk or treaters: 

Enjoying pizza and lemonade:

With their teacher Ms. Certain, who we absolutely love, love, love. She has been amazing for both of our girls:

The girls had a wonderful time with their friends. 

Tonight was declared the best trunk or treat ever. 

This picture is really dark and kind of a throw away but I love how Gwyneth stands out so bright white in her costume!

Back home the girls sorted and traded their Halloween candy…and then quickly hid it from us. Smart, smart girls!
