Halloween 2021

Some pics from throughout this past week!

We dressed up in some of my exercise classes. Can you spy me as the cow in the way back?

Clara's classroom was able to dress up in their costumes and had a party in the afternoon with some games. 

At my office...

Clara's school held a fall festival out in the school yard last night. They had games and you could go trunk-or-treating with some cars there were decorated for each grade. Clara and I signed up to run the musical dots. It was such a beautiful night which made it even more fun. I loved seeing all the kids' costumes. We walked over and by the time we left to head back home, it was getting chilly without the sun.

When we got home, we snuggled in to all watch 'Teen Wolf,' the classic 80s version. Brynn thought it was ok and I think Clara liked it more than she thought she would. She seemed nervous that it was going to be scary.

On Saturday Brynn went to hang out at her friend Annabelle's house which turned into a sleepover. I snapped a couple of pics of them when they came over to grab Brynn's overnight stuff. They were Halloween prepping. 

Brynn later sent me this pic of a make-up job she did on herself which I thought turned out amazingly! Very realistic. 

In true sibling fashion, if one has a play date, the other typically feels she needs to get together with a friend as well. So, Clara was elated that Adria was available to come play. They really put on a show for me after dinner. So entertaining! 

After Adria went home, Clara and I played a couple of rounds of hide and seek. I really stumped her with my hiding spot in the spare bedroom closet.

Brynn made herself a festive pancake this morning. 

This afternoon our Xabeat (dance) class at the gym had a Halloween party. Everyone was dressed up and all the instructors coordinated as Skittles. I had to quick take a shot of Mike Myers there in the middle of everyone. It was so hilarious. 

For whatever reason I didn't get very organized to do my Halloween preview photo shoot this year, so Clara obliged me while I was waiting for dinner to get done. Her costume turned out great! Thanks to Weckerlys for furnishing the helmet to complete the look. Brynn wasn't very interested in doing pics this year, so I wasn't able to get any of her.

Resting up before trick-or-treating...

One of the XabBeat instructors made these fun cookie treats, so I served those for dessert tonight.

Clara and I went to Barb's (our sweet neighbor who puts together all these treats for the girls for Halloween) before we got going trick-or-treating for the night.

We invited Adria to come trick-or-treating, so Clara was waiting outside for her to arrive.

Ready to go!

Our first stop was my boss's house. Clara loves to visit her on Halloween. 

Brynn didn't end up feeling into going trick-or-treating, so Clara shared her loot with sister. 💜
