some Halloween events

Daddy and Mommy love Halloween, so we try to impart that love onto Kaylee & Rowan. Mommy also doesn't mind getting lots of bang for her costume buck...so we've had some Halloween events this past week...and that's not including another Halloween Party and Trick or Treating on Sunday!

On Thursday we had the MOMS Club Trunk or Treat party...the girls had fun snacking...

and playing with all of her costumed friends!
Trunk or Treat is when all the moms line their cars up along the street and put some non-candy treats in the trunks for the kids to gather. Rowan had to stand on her tippy toes.
Kaylee didn't want to wait so she went ahead with all of her pre-K buddies.
Also on Thursday, was Kaylee's pre-K's Halloween parade...Rowan waited patiently for her sister to march through.
A smile on our pirate princess' face? She liked her parade.
She even brought Rowan into her circle to parade for a little while.
Rowan had her gymnastics Halloween party this week...she showed her teacher she could do her somersaults "all by herself!"
Swinging like the monkey she is.
Trampoline / bounce time is her favorite time at gymnastics.
Climbing down from her obstacle course.
Rowan also is starting to walk the balance beam without assistance...not too shabby!
Time for some balloon fun!
And some parachute dancing as well.
Last week Kaylee's preschool had a Halloween dance...that we all got to go to.

And, perhaps not surprisingly, Rowan is the one who partied hard at Kaylee's shindig.
Rowan and her pal Princess Shelby.
These girls know how to 'get down'...yeah, that's right, I went there.
Hula Hoop Contest...Rowan didn't win, but she was sole Gifford participant.
Finally Rowan coaxed Kaylee out onto the dance floor, even if only for a minute.

Look, Minnie found Mickey!
And they had a little dance too.
Rowan dragged mommy out to dance.
And a daddy/daughters dance...how cute!
Phew, I am exhausted by Halloween, and its not even Halloween yet. I am sure there will be more pictures to come!
