Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween! Angelica was Minnie Mouse this year, and it was really the first year that she understood and enjoyed the concept of Trick or Treating. Last year she was able to parrot the phrase "Trick or Treat" (though it sounded more like "cheetochee!" when she said it) but this year she said it at every single house, and thanked every single person for the candy.

A few houses down from ours is where the VPK teacher for her daycare lives, and they went ALL OUT for decorations...unfortunately that meant that as soon as we got close enough to the house to trigger the sound effects, Angelica burst into squeals and shrieks and cried her little heart out. So we didn't get to show off her costume to the teacher. Oh well. It was the only "fail" of the night...all of the other houses were pretty tame!

In the end she got a huge haul of candy, which you'll see below...and in typical bad mom fashion, I let her, for one night only, eat as much of it as she wanted...so she proceeded to open a bunch of candies, take one bite, and then move on to the next. She probably only got ten bites of candy total...nevertheless, the sugar crash she had later was priceless. In more ways than one.

A blog post about Halloween wouldn't be complete without a few pictures from the day! Just an FYI before you see these, she was TOTALLY against having her picture taken and was not happy about having to wait for me to take pictures before we left. I think they came out pretty good in spite of that, though!

She's better now!
