The Preschool Halloween Party Outfit Photoshoot

Yoda & Joe-da (Ha! I crack myself up!)

Pumpkins, Pumkpins and More Pumpkins

Joe's Spooky House

I also took video, but it was so dark you can't see anything, only hear it.

Halloween: Hana's new piggy bank?

(Yes, this is the saming music-playing skull from last year. And, yes, Hana loved it just as much this year, if not more.)

Trick-or-Treat!

Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair!

Notice Paschal sitting on her shoulder?

Yes, Paschal is really a chameleon and that is a stuffed frog, but no one knew any better.

Once Daddy had his haunted house all situated (stay tuned!), it was time to trick-or-treat.

She let her princess lantern light the way.

Our street was a big hit this year! Our neighborhood is always decked out for Halloween, but this year our street was the biggest hit of all!

This next one was my favorite. (I tried out my night setting on my camera. I was not pleased. I'll have to play with that some more.)

Clearly Hana has no fear. I guess that's what happens when you have Joe and myself for parents.

This next yard (or cemetery) was impressive, too.

And these people are always a hit! It's hard to tell, but there's a coffin in the driveway that a boy pops out of. Of course everyone's on their best behavior when they see Hana. She can't wait to be old enough to see the real action!

Hana was wearing her fancy light up Rapunzel dress shoes I got her a while back. I could tell they had started hurting her feet and after I asked her several times if they were, she finally said, "Yes, but I'm okay, Momma. I want to keep trick-or-treating." Halfway through trick-or-treating she reached her arms out to me and said, "My feet hurt, my candy's heavy and I'm tired." So I (gladly) carried her all the way home. As we were walking she said, "I can't wait to put my pajamas on, wash this make up off my face (her neighbor friend did her "princess make up") and help Daddy with the spooky house! And that's exactly what we did.

Halloween Costume #1: Yoda, Hana Style

Pink Dinky Doo

Last week I was able to find the time to schedule a bunch of things to post all week & fake you out, making you believe I was blogging daily when, in fact, I did it all at once. Hopefully I'll be able to do that again soon. I am behind. I am so behind! I HATE feeling behind. There are tons of pics I need to go through: Hana's last soccer game, Halloween, the Fall Festival and so on and so on. In time. It will all get done in time. For now I am addressing envelopes for a certain little girl's birthday party that is fast approaching and ordering exciting birthday presents! 'Til next time, I'll leave you with this:

(She wasn't upset about the hair, she was very excited about that.

She just didn't want me to take her picture.)

Halloween Breakfast

With

or without

an egg. Over easy. Yum.

Hana had hers without. I imagine she'll learn to love it "with" as soon as she's old enough to truly appreciate it. She wasn't feeling the photo session at breakfast, though.

Or maybe she's just full of the Halloween spirit!

Halloween is a big deal 'round here. Stay tuned!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

HANA: Why is the sky blue today?

JOE: What do you mean? It's always blue.

HANA: But I thought you said it was Halloween?!
