We were lucky enough to spread the Halloween spirit across multiple days. Over the weekend, in addition to trick-or-treating in the Elmhurst City Center, we went to Noonie's (always spectacular!) Halloween party in Frankfort. Ellie and Sadie mixed it up with their cousins on a scavenger hunt and piñata swatting.
Nat and Grammy put together Ellie's costume. And...if I can say so, I think they did a pretty great job!
On Monday night, we carved pumpkins and ate the seeds. Ellie went the traditional route, I attempted a pumpkin with brains, and Nat won the day with her Mickey the Mouse.
Tuesday morning, Ellie bundled up and rode the train into the city with me to attend "Googleween" at the office where she ate tons of candy, played in the game room, jumped on the bean bag chairs, got a face-painting on her arm and even watch a little Cinderella at my desk.
When the actual Halloween Day (as we call it) arrived, Ellie was ready to hit the streets for candy. She was lucky enough to go out in our neighborhood with her cousins who live down the street. Couldn't have asked for a better way to cap off a full week of Halloween festivities!
