"We're ready!"
Fifi, our little pink poodle
Mario...complete with a pillow-filled big belly
Trick or Treat! The kids loved going door to door to collect candy! Amelia quickly learned exactly what trick or treating was all about...walking up to the door and holding her bucket up for some candy. With prompting, she responded with "tank oo" (thank you)!
After an hour or so of outside trick or treating, we headed to the citywide Halloween party, where we hit up "trick or treat alley" to get more candy than we'd eat in an entire year and play some games.
And, the winner is...CARTER! The city sponsors a Halloween coloring contest, and Carter won 1st place for all 1st graders in Bloomington! Congrats buddy!
Usually, house decorating fun has to wait until December, but this year, we found a gingerbread haunted house! We made the house a few weeks ago, but it couldn't serve as a table centerpiece because Amelia can climb the chair and learned quickly that she can easily sneak the candy off! So, it needed to stay on the kitchen counter for the month!
Our school sponsors a literary pumpkin contest for the month of October. The kids decorate a pumpkin like their favorite book character. Carter chose "Otto" from "A Fish Out of Water". Although it didn't win a place medal this year, we had a wonderful time making it together as a family. And, as Carter says "It's not important to win. What's the most important is that it was fun. And, I would've won if Daddy had make the mouth shaped like a circle like I said instead of shaped like a triangle."
