Halloween at the Parke

Nana and Pop's neighborhood has a Halloween event for all the kids and grandkids of the neighborhood.  The kids love it and actually think it's really Halloween and Nana and Pop love showing off their grandkids to all their friends and neighbors.  This year, Ellie is a bumblebee for Halloween and Madelyn is a pink cowgirl.  Ellie didn't have much choice in her costume because we borrowed it from a neighbor and she really didn't have a preference.  Madelyn picked out her costume from a magazine and was very adamant about being a "princess" pink cowgirl.  She talked about it for weeks and I finally caved and bought the outfit.  Ellie was SUPER into trick or treating and was a ball of energy as she ran to all the houses.  She had a blast getting her bucket full of candy and loved that she could keep up with Cora and Madelyn this year.  I'm so glad we have gotten in a good night of trick or treating because Halloween night is up in the air as we await Hurricane Sandy who is supposed to arrive sometime tonight with rain and wind the next couple of days!

So happy to be at Nana and Pop's house.  They waited to go all day long!

The girls in their costumes!

Joshua's first time walking up to a house to trick or treat!

Our little bumblebee!

She told us that her bucket was so heavy she had to hold it on the bottom.  She was so proud of all her loot!
