For the past few years, Ashley has been dying to be the Candy Corn witch.
Unfortunately, every time we went to purchase the costume, they were sold out!
So this year, we went the very first week of September and got it. She was so excited.
However, Ashley must have grown quite a bit because 2 months later, the costume was looking quite small!
This year, my work had a Halloween Spooktacular where the kids got to trick-or-treat around our buildings and go through a Haunted Hallway.
It ended with yummy food and sour limeade in our cafeteria.
Next, we were off to Tierra Bonita's Boogie Bash where Ashley did the cake walk, haunted classroom, and lots of fun games with her bestie Josie.
This year, I told Jeff and Ashley that I was NOT carving a pumpkin. It always takes forever and I'm usually the only one out there after a couple of hours by myself. Unfortunately, Jeff had to go in to work this weekend so the carving duties fell upon my shoulders once again.
To my surprise, it ended up being a ton of fun. Ashley and I sat outside, her playing in the pumpkin guts and separating the seeds while I carved.
Ashley was pretending to host her own cooking show, talking about making pumpkin pie and baking pumpkin seeds. My favorite comment was "In case you didn't understand a word I just said, visit www.CookingWithAshley.com!" I should have tried to record it, she was cracking me up! She reminded me of myself when I was little and I would host my own painting show in my room. We are such nerds :)
Next up was trick-or-treating with her best friend Josie, who was the Univ. of Wisconsin Badger.
I'm so glad they reconnected this year after being in different classes in 3rd grade.
Her friend Chelsea also joined them and they decided to pose in the midst of trick-or-treating.
After 2 hours of trick-or-treating, they were officially beat...or at least I was!
Happy Halloween!
