Halloween 2011

this year, halloween fell on a monday. our weekend activities went like this:

-saturday to wicker park kid festival where we met alexandra and the kids played. stella dressed as an angel. dylan refused to dress up as either the duck, the skunk or dash.

-sunday we went to the roscoe village trick or treating thing. then to frasca for pumpkin painting and dinner. stella, again, an angel. dylan, again, refused.

-monday night, we joined sahana and jay trick or treating their hood. then to the connor's for beers and to be the trick or treat-ee's. stella, once again, an angel. dylan, finally, dash.

of course, upon coming home, dylan threw an absolute tantrum when he had to take the dash costume off. so that was fun.

stella doesn't agree.

maybe a dog next year? (as long as she doesn't kill isabella : )

ps: the name was all stella.
