Cowgirl & Indian

I've never really been one to get into Halloween...most of it is just a little creepy for me and to be honest, I just never got what the big deal was. Once I had kids, though, it took on a whole new meaning. I have LOVED getting to dress my girls up every year in costumes. Something about putting a little girl in a big sunflower costume or dressing her up as a princess makes me smile. This was the first year, though, that we ventured out into the trick-or-treating world, and I really did not know what to expect. I assumed we would go to 3 or 4 houses and be done because the kids seemed too young to really get and enjoy the whole concept. Boy was I wrong.

We went to T&R's at about 5:30 for pictures with Ike and Nate then started out on our trick-or-treating journey when it started to get a little dark. Ike was the most hesitant, with P right behind him. Squid, however, was a whole different story. The kid had no fear. She would just be-bop (yes that's a technical term) up the driveway with her little pumpkin bucket, grab a good handful of candy, put it in her bucket and be-bop along to the next house. Totally unexpected from our little girl who is usually timid and cautious of people. Ike and P soon followed after and we ended up being out for about an hour, maybe longer. It was a lot of fun.

Anyway, I managed to get some pictures of the cowgirl and indian before all the major festivities began. This was my favorite.
