Viva La Halloween

Halloween was really fun this year....the girls both finally "got" the pumpkin thing and were into pulling out the guts and all that stuff. Marina wanted to be part of the whole process...including making sure that the right mood came through on her pumpkin.

Elena just wanted the whole thing to hurry up to the point where I would light hers on fire so she could see it in the dark.

I think things turned out alright myself.....

The resurgence of the princess patrol broke out again for the big night. We actually strayed from our neighborhood and went to some friends of ours that we met during Marina's pre birth class thingy. Forgot how cool all that crowd was. They live on Alameda, which I've never trick or treated at....it was nuts. Like Peacock Lane for Halloween....literally there would be 15 kids at the door, and another 15 waiting to get up the steps, with another 15 running towards the house from both directions. Totally impossible and a little worrying trying to keep your eye on your 2 year old in the candy feuled mayhem.

I think Elena could do Halloween every night. Dead sprint from start to chocolate mouthed finish and ultimate collapse

Boo.
