Halloween 2016

Halloween is a day a year, but the celebrations start early and this particular state of mind counts more to me than the evening of candy (I enjoy that enormously too!).

We started with Catalina's school "build a scarecrow" night. We had so much fun the year before! I knew a little something grows inside me, Catalina was extremely happy and we made a nice scarecrow. We were excited this year too, but a lot changes when a little baby is in tow! We tried to prepare, to come up with ideas on what to make, but came up with...nothing. One hour before the vent started we decided to make the head at home as we imagined that with Ami we won't be able to do much at school. We found a pink wig in the house and here it all started: Introducing Pinkalicious!

Plenty of pink receiving blankets for the head and body; swimming noodles for legs and arms; pink socks and gloves for feet and hands. And of course, Catalina's beautiful artwork for her make up. We declared it a total success!!

To be in line with all the celebrations, Catalina decorated our house with paintings. I have to say I was speechless! My girl is quite talented!!!

 And few Halloween parties followed. Party at Dana and Gabi:

Mom, what is this big, ugly thing?

The parade at Catalina's school was followed by a cute in class party. Ami came for the parade dressed in Catalina's old costume, a cute flower

 Wrap me in toilet paper as a mummy game:

Cutest mummy EVER!

And then it was time for the real Halloween! Catalina wanted to be a witch, she wore the costume for the school party so I was sure she'll want smth different. Nope! Witch all the way. Mommy was a witch too :). Amy had a bulky seahorse costume that she kept on for maybe 10 minutes.

Dressing up, candy and parties...I am really getting into the Halloween spirit. Just to think that years back when I first came to US I could not understand people getting excited about it. It's all about the chocolate, baby!!
