Halloween

The thing I love about Halloween for little ones is that it is not a one-day affair, but rather a week-long celebration! Madeline got a chance to wear her costume no less than 6 times that week. We definately got our money's worth out of the costume, and fortunately, she loved being that little butterfly!

The Sunday before Halloween we kicked off the week with some Trick-or Treating at the businesses downtown Naperville.

It was a beautiful day, and Madeline quickly learned that she liked this "trick-or treating" thing.




On Tuesday we got to wear our costumes to music class. Madeline loves playing the bells


and using the hoops to sing "Pop Goes the Weasel"!




On Wednesday we enjoyed our Playgroup Halloween party!


Here's all the kids in costume...


and we enjoyed delicious homemade soup, bread, and other treats with good friends.



On Halloween Eve we stopped by Grandma Schmitt's school to see all the kids dressed up in their costumes.







Trick or treat! Then, later in the evening we visited Great-Grandma Luzinski and got lots of treats!


Madeline inspects the candy with Aunt Marie


and enjoys time on the couch with Grandpa and Grandma Hay.





Finally, on Halloween, here's Madeline with her next-door buddy, Cooper.





We all went trick-or-treating together, but only made it to a few houses before landing at another neighbor's house for the evening.



Uncle Mark even stopped by to deliver a treat!
Phew... what a week!
