Despite Ky just beginning to feel better from being sick, Lexi just starting off being sick, Sky's Mom coming and going and Sky and I barely being home from our fabulous, long awaited, perfect, splendid long weekend getaway we still enjoyed the Halloween festivities at UVA!
Every year the students at UVA living on "the lawn" (square of old school student dorms by the Rotunda) hold a trick or treating event which attracks mobs of people. The kids have to walk all of 2 feet to the next door and simple move around in a square. They had bins of candy and when I asked one student they replied, "We were told to purchase $200 worth of candy." Lexi got the hang of it quickly as she rode in luxury from door to door in her stroller with grandma pushing her and simply holding out her hand with her pumpkin in lap. When possible she had a lolly pop in mouth, another in one hand and the other hand waiting for candy. Kylee stayed with it for a little while but was more entertained by trying to find friends, watching the entertainment, face painting and gathering balloons. We had a fun time! and are glad we pulled it off for our only year here.We were happy to have my parents join us for the weekend and for the Halloween activities as my father anxiously awaited the Duke vs. UVA football game on Halloween Day. Skylar used his medical discount and scored some cheap tickets so the 4 of us could enjoy the event. My parents stayed true to their DUKE ties as they wore the appropriate attire and Duke pulled off the win! Sky and I snuck out at half time to get back for a little more trick or treating with the girls but there is something about being at a college football game that is just amazing...what a fun ambiance!

Your girl's costumes are adorable. They look so cute! I'm glad you had a fun Halloween.
Those are the cutest witches I've ever seen!! really, so adorable! Zanna was going to be a witch, but switched to a butterfly,fairy something when she saw the pink and gold wings at the store- whatever...
So, yes- we need to chat and catch up. What is the trip you took?? are you going to be at the parade this Thanksgiving? let's chat- this is getting annoying :)
I was going to say amlost the exact same thing as mel :) cutest costumes ever....where did you go> and we need to catch up!!!
What a fun idea for the college kids, I hope they have donations for the candy. I would hate to see them starve. Are you going to try to go to a basketball game at Cameron, I imagine it's not too far is it?
SO glad it all turned out fun, even with all the sickness and craziness. I'm glad you got to "experience" the lawn trick-or-treating, it is just so fun and so Charlottesville!
Love the witches. Glad you guys are living it up for your one year stay! The game looked fun - we just went to our first Ohio State football game...and whoa! Big college games are a blast!
Those are two very cute witches!!! I love Halloween time, it sounds like you guys had a blast. :)
The costumes worked out great! You did well. Your girls look fabulous! Lexi's hair cut is darn cute. I am proud of Mom for wearing Duke gear too. That is not something I have seen too much. Fun, fun, fun ... why is it that you keep living in places with unique, awesome holiday things to do! I have to admit, I am a wee bit jealous.
the girls look cute as always!! looks like a fun halloween!
