Halloween

This year we went to my friend Erika's house for Halloween again.  We don't get to see each other as much as we would like so it is always fun when we get together.  The girls love being with their friend Chloe as well so it works out well for our families.  Erika and I catch up, the girls play and then the guys get home from work have a quick snack and take the kids out trick or treating while Erika and I man the house.

By the time Halloween is over the girls are already discussing what to be for next Halloween.  I'm sure the girls went through 30 options but for this year they settled on a Greek goddess and a skunk.  Last year the girls were pretty similar so it made me laugh at the stark differences between them this year.  They both fit their costumes well and looked perfect.  Ali wanted to be a skunk because they do handstands to spray people.  She thought that was hysterical and then she could do handstands while trick or treating and it would be fitting with her costume.  Sofia reads a lot about fantasy and wanted to stay on the same theme as last year with a combination Greek goddess/vampire but since she was Cleopatra vampire last year she decided to go as just a goddess this year which also required no makeup.  This was a positive for her since she had redness around her eyes for days last year.
