VUMC Halloween Fun

On Tuesday, our Mom2Mom kids got to dress up and parade through the meeting, and go trick-or-treating through the church offices.

For this occasion, Violet wanted to be Batgirl again, but her black shirt and leggings were dirty. She settled for a different Halloween shirt that said "Batty for Candy," with the Batgirl cape.

On Wednesday evening, Pioneer Clubs hosted its annual Trunk-or-Treat event, one the girls eagerly anticipate each year.

This time, Stace volunteered to work a shift at a game booth. Here, he's helping with a game where the children try to shoot out votive candles with squirt guns.

 Violet was a Zebra-Leopard, wearing a dressup outfit that featured both animal prints. This has certainly been the year of hyphenated costume ideas for our 4-and-a-half-year-old.

Here, she's playing a game where you toss a rope with two balls on each end over the rods.

 Violet also had fun at the cake walk, of course. My mom, on the far left, helped run this activity. For the first year in quite a few, I didn't volunteer myself, and just had fun looked for Cora much of the night.

 Of course, trunk or treat had trunks, too. This trunk featured a Candyland theme; the children drew a color card and then chose a candy from the corresponding bowl.

 Violet decorated this kitty mask at school with spots (though they didn't come out in the photo) in preparation for going as a leopard that evening.

There's Cora! She came too, but being one of the big kids now, spent her night running around with Sophia, Lucas, and a couple of other third-graders, playing a chasing game.

We saw her off and on; I'm not even sure she collected much candy. But, she had a great time.
