My First Halloween

This might be hard to believe, but yesterday I did Halloween for the first time. I grew up in a non-Halloween family, and we haven't really done the Halloween thing with Katarina, either. So dressing up and trick or treating was a pretty big deal. Much thought and discussion went into the costume decision.

Pirate Katarina.
She is a very serious pirate, with a sword and a "don't mess with me" argh.

We went to Cranes Roost Park - saw some other bloggers, 

ate yummy cheeseburgers, and hung out with Wendy.

The real Wendy. She was incredibly nice and it was fun to spend time talking with her.

There was a tent with face painting and balloon creations that we could not pass up.
Katarina got a little more pirate-fied.

Thomas had Stu make him this snazzy hat. Roll Tide! 

Not to be outdone, I had my face painted, too. 

Notice the yellow polka dots on that butterfly. 

And glitter. 

So much joy going on there. 

These Star Wars guys look pretty scary, but I think the pirate could take them! 

I am the Martian Butterfly Queen.

After we left the park, we visited a couple neighborhoods for the trick or treating thing. 

So much fun! 

It makes a pirate dance.....

.....to come home with all of this candy

Just so you know, some of that candy is mine, and you should not try to take it, because I'm not afraid to use this sword. Touch my candy, and I will cut you!

Now if you will excuse me, there are some pixie sticks and peanut butter cups calling my name. 

But first, one more picture, because I seriously love this little pirate girl! 

Did you do the Halloween thing this year?
