Diwali Mela

Last night, we went to the Dewali Mela at Fair Park. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a great time. 

First, we let the girls ride the elephant before it got to dark to get pictures. 

One of the booths was doing face painting.

We watched the Ramayana acted out.

It was very crowded because the weather was so nice everyone came out.

Then we watched some Indian pop star. Theo wasn't "hip" enough to know who he is but we still enjoyed the music.

Trick Or Treating

For Halloween, we went trick-or-treating with some neighborhood friends. The girls all had lots of fun. We completely wore ourselves out, and got tons of candy!

Lizzy was a pink fairy and even got the neighbor to paint her face really pretty. 

Katie was Taylor Swift.

We were all brave enough to walk by the neighborhood cemetery on Halloween. 

And we only saw one ghost.

Halloween Cookies

Katie and Lizzy and ten of their friends had tons of fun making and decorating jack-o-lantern pumpkin cookies today. I almost forgot to take pictures but remembered got these at the end. 

Pumpkin Carving

Tonight, we carved the pumpkins with the girls. Katie wanted her own this year so she got to do most of hers. 

Don't get it on me!

Tomorrow's News: Suburban mom brutally stabs pumpkin!

EEW!!

I like it!

That's a lot of teeth, Lizzy!

Two minutes later, she was covered in hives. Guess we are allergic to pumpkin in large doses.

Don't cut out his teeth, Daddy!

You knocked out some of his teeth! 

This is tricky!

Our happy pumpkins!
