Our Halloween celebration started on Wednesday with Brinley and I making cookies for her class at school. She really enjoyed shaking the sprinkles on the cookies. Although I had to keep reminding her to move on to the next cookie. They weren't the prettiest cookies, but all her classmates enjoyed them the next day at school!
When Daddy got home from work, we carved our pumpkin. Brinley wasn't too thrilled with pulling out the pumpkin guts and preferred to use the scoop instead! We don't have a picture of her with the final product because once we put the candle in she got scared and wouldn't go near it. She is very aware of things this Halloween and it has taken several trips to the costume stores to get her used to people in costumes!
Thursday, she got to wear her costume to school and have her Halloween party. She brought home all sorts of goodies. That evening, we met some friends at Trick or Treat at the Park by our house. All the businesses set up booths and then give out candy and treats. It was a great way to do some trick or treating in one contained area without too much walking! Brinley and her friends had so much fun.

Friday morning was a Halloween playdate with Brinley and her BFF's from school. They jumped on the trampoline, dressed up in play clothes, and ate lots of food! It was also a fun for all the mom's to visit! Brinley came home exhausted and took a 3 hour nap which I had to wake her up from! I made a pumpkin cake for the party (which will be my last cake I make until Clayton gets here!)
Finally, Friday evening we headed over to the Smith's for dinner and trick or treating. Hannah led the trick or treating and taught Brinley and Wyatt all about it. They watched for a few houses and then they were running up to each door knocking and holding their pumpkins up for candy! It was so cute to hear them say trick or treat and wait patiently for their candy. Brinley even said "thank you" at each house (unprompted)...my sweet little girl! After an hour of trick or treating the kiddos were pooped so we headed home.
Brinley ended up with 2 bowls full of candy from her Halloween festivities! Needless to say we are having a Halloween hangover today!
