halloweek 2019!

like a mummy, we wrapped up october! it was a busy, eventful month & the girls lived their best lives with each festivity! 

last soccer game of the season & lucy is so ready to start another season. like basketball, she loved soccer & always looked forward to both practices & games-


family carving pumpkin- the girls named her "spookily" and each designed a section of the face :)


cards from great gramma-


rollers ready- must mean a halloween show is in the early morning!








bea's preschool trick or treat party in lucy's retired tooth fairy costume-



costume night in tap in lucy's retired recital costume [there's a theme here...]


a sensible midday shampoo-



holy trinity's trunk or treat... in the falling snow! their onesie jammies are their new favorites-





kitty witch on halloween morning!


the big girls' class party joy-







and our official halloween night costumes- the cowardly lioness, glinda the witch of the north & our wicked witch turned mermaid kitty ;)


lucy dubbed it "the best halloween ever!!!" as we warmed up with hot cocoa + extra marshmallows! and just a few tears were shed knowing that halloween is over for another year. 

november is here, all saint's day today, and we're being intentional in focusing on our gratitudes. dolly's "once upon a christmas" is on repeat, and in the midst of this season's hustle, i aim to slow down and enjoy this precious time. 

BOO!
