Holick Halloween

Halloween felt like a Halloween "season" this year with school parties, parades, pumpkin carving nights and trick or treating.  The kids made a countdown weeks ago and were so excited to finally celebrate!

After the parade, everyone went back to his classroom for a sing-a-long.

Quinn didn't have a party or parade as a two year old but she still dressed up in her Halloween best for school that week!

 Nolan loved pulling out all of the "goo" this year.

 Quinn preferred to have Eric do it.

 Nolan's finished product.  He wanted a scary pumpkin.

 Halloween night.  Quinn loves Ariel and thinks she is a mermaid so, of course, she was a sparkly mermaid this year.  Her shell necklace sang one of Ariel's songs and it was her constant soundtrack throughout the night.

 Nolan looked through a costume magazine and zeroed in on this Storm Trooper because he had a gun. He has never seen Star Wars but loves this costume.  I have to say, he is pretty funny in it.

The mermaid and the storm trooper.

 

Nolan and his little buddy Chloe that lives down the street from us.

 These three ran from house to house for a solid hour before calling it a night.

 What a difference a year makes.  Last year Nolan cried and didn't want to trick or treat and Quinn was too little to walk far.  This year, Nolan walked right up to each house, held a conversation with every home owner, and had a blast.  Quinn fell right in line and followed Nolan saying, "mom, more!" after each house.
