Halloween roundup

Before school, the Beautiful Fairy Princess shows off her look.
Preschool - all of her classmates are dressed for the party and are making jack o' lanterns.
And where is Liza? As far away from the other kids as she can be while still being able to watch what they're doing. She hates that bicycle thing, too, so I'm guessing it was just an accident that she was hanging out over there.
Jack had a little too much candy on the 30th.
At first she was not real sure about this whole process, despite having repeated the phrase "I want to go trick-or-treating NOW!" continuously for two hours prior to the moment this shot was taken. Actually, it took me a good 5 minutes to get her out of the backyard and onto the sidewalk, and another five to convince her to walk up to the door of our next-door neighbor (whom we know) while holding my hand and being velcroed to my leg.
But she got braver once she realized that these people - they give you chocolate! And lollipops!

That lasted for three or four houses - we even got a "trick or treat!" out of her at one house without prompting - until we hit the house with the scary music, fog machine, and guy answering the door wearing a skull mask. Ever seen a kid so scared they literally couldn't move? Hee! It's fun! So is carrying 30 pounds of screaming Beautiful Fairy Princess home while trying not to drop the camera or the candy. Not.

We only hit about 10 houses, so our haul wasn't that great, but Liza claims to have had fun, and she spent all of Thursday bing-banging for candy, so I guess she got the point.

Sooooo cute! Liza outdid herself as a Fairy Princess. Think she will remember this halloween as her "first" real one?
