A Spooktacular Halloween

It was seriously so warm last weekend.  Like 70 some degrees.  A stark contrast to the frost we had this morning.  We played outside trying to enjoy what's probably the last of our warm weather for a while.  Evangeline is all about being a little daredevil on her play equipment these days.  It makes me a nervous wreck.  
 
Here is a picture she did on her Magna Doodle last week.  It's a drawing of her big-headed Sally doll.  I know I'm bias being her mother and all, but I think she's pretty darn good.

Here's another one of her little drawings I loved.... 

and here's the one Kyle did...
 
We got super fancy with our pumpkins this year.  I usually always go with the classic Jack-O'Lantern face, but we broke out the stencils this time around.

 
The costume was made and Evangeline had a great time as Sally for the Halloween frolic on the court house lawn.  With the weather being unseasonable warm the kids didn't have to bundle up their costumes and they could actually be seen.  I even comfortably wore a short sleeved shirt at night!  It was crazy.  Evangeline did the annual walk around the gazebo with the other kids.  She even won 2nd place in a contest she didn't know she entered.
She was in character all night.  She didn't even crack a smile when she and the other costume contest winners had their picture taken for the paper.
 
There was someone there dressed as Jack the Pumpkin King and we got their pictures together.
 
Halloween night was freezing.   Evangeline was totally into the Trick-or-Treating this year.  She was so brave and determined.  She marched herself up to each door by herself and wasn't the least bit frightened by the costumes or scary houses.  Much different from last year.
