Boo at the Zoo Part 2 and other Halloween activities

It has been a Halloween-y weekend around the Gainer house. 

After work on Friday, we went to a "Halloween Warm Up" party at the Jones house. The kids dressed up, decorated pumpkins and had delicious Halloween treats. 

We've already gotten good use out of the Tinkerbell costume!

MFG showing off her stickers. She is really into "stickies" right now

Yesterday, we went to the Stone Zoo for "Boo at the Zoo." Francie went as a ballerina. We saw lots of animals and MFG loved it!

A big bird (Maribou maybe?)

Wolves

Reindeer

Otters

Monkeys

When we asked her later which animal was her favorite, she said "Monkeys" with no hesitation. 

Flamingos

Francie was REALLY excited about the Trick-or-Treat trail at the zoo and even more excited about the lollipop

Waving to the bear. "Hi, bear!"

 Last night, I made some Halloween cookies. 

We got MFG some new coloring books, crayons and stickers yesterday since she is really loving artsy activities right now. I couldn't help myself with the huge box of crayons. I kind of forgot just HOW awesome a brand new, just opened box of crayons is. 

This morning with her 3 new favorite things:

1. Coloring books

2. Dora lunchbox

3. A lollipop
