Housefull of Hicks: Halloween pics

We had a great time on Halloween. Isabel was a witch, but wouldn't wear her hat, so most people assumed she was a princess, which was okay by me. We went over to my sister's house and took the kids trick-or-treating around their neighborhood. Rowan was dressed as Diego and little Sophia was the cutest little pumpkin ever. I was worried that Isabel wouldn't want to wear her costume, but she loved looking so pretty. I was also a little worried about how she would do with walking up to strangers and saying "trick-or-treat". I should never have worried, she loved it! She got the concept really quickly and had a blast. She always waited to make sure that Rowan had gotten candy too before saying "Thank you" very politely. Then she would be off marching towards the next house. She only ate a couple of pieces of her candy, she had more fun just getting it. Once we got back to the house she loved helping out her Uncle Mark hand out the candy to other trick-or-treaters. Every time kids would come to the door she would drop whatever she was doing and run to the door and grab the bowl of candy. She loved putting the candy in the kids' bags. We let her have one piece of candy and a couple of cookies that my mom had made and Jason and I are still working on the rest of the candy. I already can't wait for next year, this was so much fun.

Don't you love the ruby slipper shoes? When Isabel got dressed in this Rowan asked "Ooh, Is Aba a flower?" She loved her dress and especially her pretty shoes. I would too, I'd love a pair!

Isn't Sophia just the cutest pumpkin ever?! Look how sweetly she's smiling up at her mommy.

Mark got a hold of these giant glowsticks for the kids to carry. When it got dark Isabel was so busy looking at her glowstick to watch where she was going and nearly fell on her face many times.
