Halloween 2009

Well, we've finally made it to the end of October here on the blog! Halloween was really fun with Sophie this year because she actually understood what was going on. We carved pumpkins, which we didn't get to do last year, and Sophie really enjoyed herself--except that she really didn't like the slimy parts!


Here she is after we finally got the pumpkins on the front porch:


She wanted to pose by her pumpkin before we went trick or treating. Hers is the cat pumpkin.


She dressed up as a lion, thanks to a friend of ours whose kids also dressed up like lions. :-) She really got into her costume and started roaring like a lion. She even won a costume contest at Centre's Halloween festival!


At the festival, she won a pair of vampire teeth, which rounded out her costume nicely.

A group of students got together and recreated Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Sophie loved it, and I think they did a pretty good job!



The students had all sorts of games and crafts at different tables for the kids:


And we even ran into some of Sophie's friends!
