After work I rushed to Brenda's to get my girls and I was sooooo HAPPY to find Eva wearing her lady bug costume, and looking soooo CUTE! I'd sent it to Brenda's letting her know - if Eva falls asleep stick her in it (when other than physically hurting her I was willing to do nearly anything to get her to wear her costume! I should say, we'd had the costume for over a month and she would run the opposite direction any time she saw it.) Eva has this thing where she refuses to wear something, and then when she finally does she won't take it off... so I knew putting her in the costume might mean that she'd still be wearing it come Christmas, but I was okay w/ that:-) So to my huge surprise, when I got there out comes Eva wearing her lady bug costume (not the hat, but who cares!). I was so happy!!! And she looked soooooo cute!
From Brenda's we went home to get Gracie all dressed - she went as Jasmine, the Disney Princess from Aladdin. She let me do her hair in messy buns (my favorite!) although, she really didn't think that was how Jasmine liked to wear her hair. I told her, "Jasmine always wears her hair like this - if you wear it like this, they will really think your her!" That must have convinced her b/c she was good w/ it after that. Once both girls were dressed (Eva in all black and red -- and her WHITE shoes, yes she picked them out.) We headed out the door w/ Daddy.
Our first stop of the evening was a Pop-pop's work, where he loaded the girls up w/ tons of sugary things. Not sure how he managed to slip this one past me, but as he left he gave Eva a Reese's cup candy bar. And wouldn't you know it, she managed to get the candy bar open and ate some of it! I know, so what right? It has MILK in it! And peanuts, so w/ her food allergies, I had a little bit of a freak out - but got over it. We were lucky that only her hands and the car seat straps were covered in chocolate, I think had we been in the car any longer and Eva would have had to go as a Hershey's Kiss for Halloween:-)
The girls got Princess snack treats at Grams's, from there we headed over to Grandma-Great's house, and then on to Brenda's. I think both girls could have stayed at Brenda's the rest of the evening. When we got there Ella Griggs and Riley Lee were there so the little people were running around playing:-) But knowing it would get dark soon, we didn't stay long - our next stop was Rick & Vickie's. Matt did a little bit of his own "trick or treating" there and managed to get dinner out of Vickie:-) While Matt ate the girls passed out Halloween candy w/ Uncle Rick. Grace did a great job this year, in the past she wouldn't give anyone candy who was wearing a mask. But she wasn't as afraid this year, when pretty girls would come up - Grace would immediately tell them, "I love your costume." or "You're beautiful!" And she always said it w/ such honesty - she's so sweet! Although Rick probably would have liked to have help the rest of the evening, we left and went on to Marilyan's house. Where Grace rang her doorbell and came right on in - making herself at home. She then passed out candy there for a bit. She only decided she would leave when we told her she could trick-or-treat at the houses on our old street (Springway Drive).
Grace thought it was great going up to the houses getting candy. And so many of the neighbors were sweet having Teddy Grahams, etc... for Eva too! Both girls had a GREAT time, and the weather was so nice too! After trick-or-treating we headed back to Nanni's where Grace and Eva passed out more candy, and examined all the candy they both got. I'm sure way more than Poppy would ever want to see them eat! But they had fun, that's what matters! Plus, after seeing how excited Grace was, Daddy managed to find his Halloween spirit!
