Happy Halloween from Dorothy and Glinda

We have recently finished reading "The Wizard of Oz" to the girls at bedtime.  When we completed the book, we watched the movie.  (I had not realized how very different the book is from the movie, although I should have expected that.)  So, of course, the girls wanted to be Dorothy and Glinda for Halloween.  Ella knew right away she wanted to be Dorothy.  At first, Emma wanted to be Toto, but I wasn't sure how difficult it would be to find a Toto costume, so she decided on Glinda instead.  
They decided they needed to wear their Halloween socks with their costumes.
Ella and Emma were very excited to wear their costumes, so we did decided to give the costumes a try and practice Trick or Treating at Grammie and Grandy's house a couple of days ago.

Then, this evening we did a little Trick or Treating on our street, visiting some of our wonderful neighbors.
Thanks Mrs. Yock!
We then we to our church building for the Fall Carnival.  What a great time we had playing games and jumping on the inflatable games!  We are blessed to worship with a church family which cares so much for our kids to put this on each year!

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch this morning!  Ella and Emma really loved looking at all the different pumpkins and picking some to take home.  (Ella- white shirt, Emma- orange shirt)

Bicycles!

Today, the girls rode their bicycles on the sidewalk in front of ours and our neighbors houses.  They had so much fun! (Ella is wearing the pink helmet, and Emma is wearing the blue.)
