Trick-or-Treating


Jane was so excited about trick-or-treating that she woke up and put her costume on and was ready to go by 9:00 a.m. so.... you can imagine it was a LONG day. We finally let her go before the sun was even down around 6:00 (okay 5:45).

A few people were ready for trick-or-treaters but we got several, "Wow! You guys are early". Jay was so embarrassed we stopped after a street or two, which was a good thing because we had to rush over to Southlake to Jane's friend Jennifer's house for real trick-or-treating. Jane was dressed as Belle and Jennifer was Cinderella. The girls held hands walking to all of the houses. It was so cute!
After a while the girls got tired of walking around in their plastic high heels (or at least we thought they should have been tired) so we put them in the wagon. This is Lola, Jennifer, and Jane.
The highlight of the night was one of the last houses we went to. They had a fog machine and a cemetery with scary noises and a witch that watched over the candy bowl to be sure you only got one candy (which were FULL size candy bars- let me tell you trick-or-treating in Southlake is a different experience). The witch would "wake up" and cackle and move which scared the girls to no end. It was all Jane could talk about on the way home! Here are some pics of the girls walking up to the house and then the pic of the witch. She looks much more harmless in this pic than she did in real life.

Greatness! We were out that early too, tell Jay not to worry about it. You need to see Emily's pics... we had some scary things too but the sun wasn't down yet so Lord only knows what would have happened if it was dark.
Oh, and those high heels - they are dangerous! I had many an accident in those things!

What a cute little princess! Yep, Southlake is a whole different world. I worked there for 2 years before HEB and the teacher gifts were awesome!

Wow - I'm so impressed that Jane would walk around so much with those high heels! Ben would only make it about a block :) She looks so cute!
