Halloween Activities

We celebrated Halloween for at least a week! Annika was Cinderella and a duck this year. They were both cute, we couldn't just pick one. I think she went trick-or-treating at least 4 times in that week.

These were taken before and after the Friendship Heights Village Center Halloween activity. Annika was very happy to get another pumpkin on her face!



We carved pumpkins at the beginning of the week with the Christensen family. Tiana is a professional carver (the scary face on the left), I just did what I could. The husbands sat watching tv, CJ claims to not like the smell of pumpkin and Kent said he needed to keep him company, we we were on our own.



This is trick-or-treating at the Mommy & Me activity at Congressional Plaza with Buzz Lightyear (Ches) and a pink poodle (Ellie)

Trick-or-Treating at Brightwood, the retirement home near our building. The elderly people thought she was darling, of course!

Halloween Day -
Trick-or treating on Embassy Row. Some of the playgroup moms brought our kids to trick-or-treat at the embassies. Ours were about the only kids. None of us knew that it was really a college thing to do. It was still fun, the kids were the center of attention at all the embassies and even just standing in line. All the students ooohed and aaaahed at how cute they were in their costumes.

Annika's favorite place to ride is with Ches on the back of the sit and stand stroller. Sometimes it causes conflicts, but most of the time they think it's great to sit together.

Halloween night
We went over to the Stirling's house, they have the greatest trick-or-treating street in the Palisades. We went over there last year too and they were nice enough to invite us back. Annika loves Jane & Calvin and was so excited to go trick-or-treating with them.

This is not a normal every day outfit, this was my costume! All the college kids knew who I was!
I'm Juno, from the movie "Juno" It's the best we could come up with with my big belly! (Notice the Sunny Delight I'm carrying, Juno always carried it around in the movie)
