Halloween-ey!

Preschool Party!

The ward Trunk-or-Treat

Jorg was jet-lagged and went as a SLEEP WALKER.

Halloween Morning - I took 3 seconds before she came downstairs to hang up this cobweb w/ spiders (we had made the spiders a few days before).  I told her the spiders had spun the web the night before to tell us that Halloween was here.  She thought that was the COOLEST THING EVER!  And that is why she is my favorite child in the world. 

For breakfast, we made pumpkin waffles w/ a chocolate chip face.  You can't really tell, but the waffle was orange and you can KIND of see the face:

She got to decorate it with Halloween Goo (blueberry yogurt)

while we ate, we watched animated halloween songs on YouTube.  (the ones that weren't too spooky.  mostly singing and dancing pumpkins.)

That afternoon, she went trick-or-treating down main street with Jorg.  The businesses were handing out candy.  That's when she modeled for these pictures.  Of course she very rarely sits still or poses for a photo without bribery.  So this was before she got to go trick-or-treating down Main.

My goodness, she is a beauty!  She was so excited to be Snow White!  I thought about getting her a wig, but didn't want to spend the money and she looked so cute as a blonde Snow White.  She was on the look-out for poisonous apples all day!  Luckily, she successfully avoided them!

For dinner we had Stew in a Pumpkin!  It was supposed to be Pumpkin Stew, but I ran out of time to actually cook the pumpkin and she really didn't know the difference. 

I have fond memories of my mom making us Clam Chowder every Halloween for dinner.  It warmed us up before we went out trick-or-treating!  And it was something I always looked forward to.  I'm so happy to have this little family of mine, and that I can make memories like that for them too!

Neighborhood kids started ringing the doorbell for treats as we finished up dinner.  Our candy bowl was almost empty, so we poured most of the candy Rebecca had previously obtained, into a big bowl to redistribute! I had planned to do that sneakily. But she saw me do it and didn't even care! Wow. I guess the process of obtaining the candy was better to her than the actual candy. But not to worry, before long she and Jorg were off to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. So you see, she still got some candy at the end. What a FUN FUN Halloween!

We LIKE IT!!
 Bonus:  Remember this?!

hard to believe she was ever that small :)  Love those little toes!
