Halloween starts earlier and earlier every year. So many activities leading up to the actual day! We did our best. First, was Millie's class party. Since we were going to JKK's work afterwards to trick-or-treat, I went ahead and got Syd dressed up in her costume. Millie wanted to be a witch this year, and Syd wanted to be her "mean black cat"! This cracked me up every time they said it over the past couple of months. I'm so surprised they never changed their mind! Syd practiced her mean hiss and meows, yet she never made a mean face. She ended up being the cutest mean black cat ever.
Millie loves when we visit her class, and Syd was lucky to get in on the party treats!

Next up: daddy's work! Millie makes a pretty adorable witch, and she loved that her witch shoes had high heels.
A fun tradition! Millie is old enough now to man the candy bowl in daddy's office and hand out candy to the kids that come in.
Longest night ever: last stop was Millie's school trunk-or-treat. The girls sugar high was wearing off and they were dragging a bit. We had hot dogs and played some fun games. Then we made the mistake of letting them have a red snocone before we left. This really sent their bodies into a strange overdrive. By the time we put them in bed, Syd was hyper and flopping around and Millie had restless leg syndrome. It was like they were possessed. Thanks Red40! Yikes...
Saturday morning at possibly the most picturesque town square of all time, we trick-or-treated at the Farmers Market. It was like a scene from a movie: 75 degrees, leaves changing colors, cute kids in costumes, delicious looking produce, and lots of adorable well-behaved dogs. The girls were two genies from a cartoon called Shimmer and Shine. They loved their costumes and I even tried to dye their hair, which turned out to be really messy. But they had so much fun!
Cayden and Beckham met us up there, and we all met some superheroes!!
And princesses too!
We even found one of the Bentonville Rocks rocks! Our little town has a good time painting rocks and hiding them. If you find one, you're supposed to hide it again somewhere else for other kiddos to find.
snapchat nailed it...spooky beautiful

Finally...Halloween is here! Our friends Beckham #1, Elle, Beckham #2, and Cayden came over for dinner and then out to hit the streets with us!
It was the perfect night!
The kids flew from house to house. It's fun to watch and I must say, it gets better and better each year! Nice to be able to let them just go! (Still have to work on the manners though...no grabbing candy out of the bowls, only take one, and make sure to say thank you!)
Quick candy stop
Syd had enough at one point and rode the rest of the way on daddy's shoulders. One tired kitty cat...
Then we headed home to hand out candy, which really is my favorite part. The girls loved it! All of it. Overall, it was the perfect Halloween. Not many years it's in the 70's Halloween night. We'll take it.
Flashback to when I was a witch!
Flashback to one of JKK's Halloweens, with his sister and brother! We aren't exactly sure what JKK was that year. ;)
