The schools down here in Texas don't celebrate Halloween. Kind of a bummer!!! I remember it was always fun dressing up and having a party on Halloween. Doesn't happen here. Although the preschools celebrate Halloween, so my girls have always had fun with that. And Rachel's school tries to please us by having "Career Day" on Halloween. So, Rachel dressed up as a dentist for school that day, which she's done the past couple of years. Audrey, however, got to wear her Halloween costume to school and she was Winx the Fairy. I don't know if she had ever heard of this particular fairy, but she loved the costume when she saw it, so that's what she chose.
In the car pool line at school:
Winx in her school parade (It was raining that morning, so the parade was inside. Luckily the rain had cleared out by the evening.):
After dinner that evening we set out do some trick or treating. Rachel was Rapunzel and Ian was Super Man. Here are some pictures before we headed out:

The Mackay family joined us:
Ian wasn't very cooperative for pictures before trick or treating, so we snapped a few after we got home and he was happily enjoying some skittles:
Our neighborhood is kind of spotty when it comes to trick or treating. You're lucky if 1 out of 5 houses is participating. So, it makes for a lot of walking. But the kids have fun. Ian started really enjoying it once he realized people would give him candy. He enjoyed getting out of the stroller and heading up to the doors, just like everyone else. It was fun to have the Mackays with us. And even though there weren't many houses participating, the kids still got plenty of candy. As a matter of fact, we still have some Halloween candy up in the cupboard. It may be time to just toss it...
