Every year we head out to my mom's school the Saturday before Halloween in costumes for some fun games and getting to see her co-workers.
Custard the Kitty, loved carrying around her bucket - and then loved it even more when we added candy to it!
There were lots of fun games that Meredith loved to play. Jillian humored us and played them at the first few games, then just stated going straight for the candy prize stashes.
Sweet Strawberry Shortcake. She loved this costume from the start and insisted she have the "hair" too. She is also really into her God-given freckles, but really wanted hers to be bigger to look just like Strawberry Shortcake. The necklace that she has on is actually a name badge Neal got from a work event he went to earlier in the week, but she really thought it added to her costume!
I liked the idea of the girls costumes coordinating, so I toyed with finding Jillian another Strawberry Shortcake character to be, but then decided on Custard, her pet kitty. I found this costume online, and showed Jillian a picture of it - she immediately started laughing at the baby in the picture and meowing at her, so I was sold! She loved wearing it and the best part was she would walk around meowing and petting her own head! We did add a green collar to make her more Custard-esque!
Fishing for prizes
And a bean bag toss
Daddy and Meredith played the wrap the mummy game - Daddy definitely got into it!
Strawberry and the Mummy
Time to bowl
Deep in concentration so she could win her tricycle race
Meredith was really excited to get a baseball painted on her face. We tried to talk Jillian into a little face painting too, but she as just wanting to stick to her candy!
Landon got to come meet us too, what fun to see him so much!
This was Jillian's favorite activity of the carnival - just sorting her candy and occasionally sneaking a sucker
Inspecting the loot!
