Halloween

Halloween in Baton Rouge...

 

We started off with pumpkin carving immediately after school.... 

 

The gypsy has finished with her pumpkin... I think she is casting a spell on it!

And, the pirate has finished hers... Arrgh!

This photo is to capture the great face-painting job you both did!

We are ready for trick-or-treating with a big FAT tiger (eating pizza)!

And Witch Hazel.

 

Unfortunately, we had the WORST weather for trick-or-treating this year... it began to rain around 4:00 and did not stop all night!  At about 7:00, with the rain still pouring, we decided it was now or never.  So, we grabbed the umbrellas and our treat bags, jumped in the van, and started down the street.  After a while, we gave up on the umbrellas, then the shoes, and eventually  the van -- we ran from house to house in the rain while mommy (or daddy - we took turns!) followed in the van.  Pretty soon, it was just too miserable -- the rain beat us and we headed home for a hot bath to warm up!  The up side?  We got lots and LOTS of candy!  There were so few trick-or-treaters out, the neighbors were handing it out by the hands full!  HAPPY HALLOWEEN BATON ROUGE!
