Halloween Walk

I love dressing the girls up for Halloween! My favorite thing is to coordinate them or match them. Two years ago they were black cats (with tutus), and last year they were little china dolls. I had a hard time thinking of something this year! After many hours of searching e-bay & etsy, I decided to just let it be easy. I took them to Target, and they picked what they wanted! So, we have a pink poodle and Snow White this year.

Kirkwood has a Halloween Walk (the Thurs. before Halloween) every year in downtown. The businesses stay open a little late and pass out candy to the kids. Everyone has told us that we just have to go! It has been so rainy this week, and I wasn't sure we were going to be able to make it. It rained from noon to 4 o'clock yesterday. Since it wasn't raining anymore, I decided to take the girls. I got them all dress-up, got my umbrella, and we walked on over. Not 5 minutes into our walk, it started to sprinkle. About 10 minutes later it was a good rain. Then, lightening and thunder and hard rain. By this time, we were a pretty good ways from the apt.. I called T.R. and got no answer...that means that he is still pretty busy! No rescue there. We kept walking and letting the stores give us candy. We did make it home, but we were "soaping wet" as AnnaKate would say! Everyone got a hot bath and yummy white chili to warm them up. We did have fun splashing our way home, and we can check the Kirkwood Halloween Walk off our our list!


My Pink Poodle and little Snow White. AnnaKate does have on her rainboots!


Ready to go trick or treating!


Will do tricks for treats!


Sweet sisters. It was nice that we could just walk over to downtown. Well, it might have been nicer if we had a car to jump in to come home!


Tootsie Roll! Nana's favorite. :)


This is almost the end of our journey. We stopped at the Kirkwood train station to call Daddy one more time. He was still dictating, so we figured we would rather just tough it out and walk the rest of the way. The things we will do for a little bit of candy!
