Halloween 2012

I am trying to catch-up with all of the events that happened in the last few months.

First of all, let me just say that the holidays now have a whole different meaning now that you are old enough to understand and enjoy it.

Halloween was fun! You dressed up as a little leopard ballerina with a black and pink tutu, cat ears, and black little nose. It suited you perfectly. It was sassy, girly, and adorable.

 I left work early that day and came to your daycare where you had a little party with all of your friends. Later, we met with my friends and their kids at the mall to go trick or treating but by the time we got there, all the candy was gone. We next drove to a very nice area where lots of the houses were decorated and almost everyone opened their doors to give some candy to kids.

You and Eli went from one house to another collecting candy. Sometimes you said "trickortweat" and sometimes you didn't. Sometimes you said "Tank you" and sometimes you didn't. I definitely had to remind you to be polite. Most of the time you just handed your little orange candy bag and waited for the sweet stuff.

I think you mostly liked the idea of running from one house to another. It wasn't even the candy that got you excited. It was the running and ringing the bell (trying to ring it first before Eli).

It wasn't until other kids started opening and eating some of their candy that you asked for one too. Honestly, you weren't into it at all even though we all know you like your chocolate.

Another highlight of the night was the house with the scary spider. If you came close to the house, the spider would pop up next to the bush and since it was dark outside nobody saw it. The little kids in front of us screamed and got scared. You, my little girl, got a little scared at first but then went back to the spider 3-4 times and ran back to me everytime.

At the end, we went home and you told Daddy how you spent your evening "trickortweating".
We took some pics at home in your costume. You told us you want to wear the same costume next year and go get more candy.

P.S. We are now in January and still have a bunch of Halloween candy left. I think you only ate 3-4 total, but don't worry, Mom will help you out :)
