BEST SHOT MONDAY – HALLOWEEN EDITION
I’m totally cheating this week and instead of selecting one picture for Best Shot Monday, I’m posting a a whole lot of them from our Halloween parade/trick-or-treating adventure on Saturday. What with a cute furry lion and a sweet sleepy zebra, it was impossible to choose just one to share. ;)
My two jungle animals arriving at the parade:
Cute and roaring lion:
The kids and daddy (dressed as a park ranger) watching the marching band go by:
Trick-or-treat:
Julian decided he was going to get his nap in:
Walking down Main Street after trick-or-treating:
A tired out lion heading back to the car:
As Julian slept, he sunk further and further down into his costume:
“I’m awake. What did I miss?”:
“Where’s Julian? … There he is!”"
For the record, we let Ava have a piece of gum and some animal crackers (she really didn’t get all that much candy) from trick-or-treating. Then we told her about the “natural candy” we had instead in the car. “Is it good for your body?” she asked. ;) “No, not exactly good for your body, honey, but better for it than the other stuff,” I replied. She was pleased with the swap. No need for the candy fairy this year, but maybe next. I do rather like that idea.

Oh, these pictures make me miss Colorado. The beautiful leaves. That Halloween parade went right past my store. The year I was there, it rained and got canceled. We had to watch all of the damp and dejected kids trudging past.
Your kids look adorable. I love the picture on her daddy’s shoulders with her tail hanging down. And who can resist a sweet, sleeping zebra?

So cute!
Have you heard of the Switch Witch? She comes on Halloween night, takes your candy, and replaces it with a new toy! Supposedly kids are usually pretty content to trade the candy for a new toy. She is going to be coming to our house this year, but I’m not sure how well it will go over with Kate!

Well, I’m glad you posted more than one. And how nice to have a trick or treating even in the daylight. Pictures turn out so much better. AND, I may just try that candy fairy thing.

My two adorable grandkids look even more adorable in their Halloween costumes. It looks like Ava had a good time-love her trick-or-treating bag. Great shots, Amy, but where is a picture of Mommy? Happy Halloween! Wish we could see you all in person today, one of my favorite holidays.
