After Kate's birthday party, we had to get all the kids all decked out in the Halloween costumes a day early, even if just for amusement purposes! Here is Leah as a ladybug, Isaac as the cutest squirrel EVER, Ev as a pirate, and Kate as Boo from Monsters, Inc...
The next day, we got our own little trio ready to trick or treat around our neighborhood. With Kate as Boo from Monsters, Inc, we felt we needed to complete the movie character lineup, with me/baby as Mike Wazowski, and Jess as Sully (he does have little homemade "horns" on his hat)... It was quite fun for us, but only a couple of people actually knew who we were as we stood on their porch!
Kate had such a fun time walking around with us and getting candy. Just like last year, she would say "Can we go to the next house?" while we were still chatting with neighbors at their door, and like a good girl she said "Trick or treatin'" when they opened their doors for her, and "thank you, happy halloween" when they gave her a treat. It was quite an enjoyable evening... until we got home. Kate was so happy to answer the door to other trick or treaters, giving them specifically chosen candy, and placing it delicately into their bags. Then, just before bedtime, some knucklehead kid had to come by in his Scream mask, complete with fake blood running down his face! She was terrified! She kept talking about the "sad guy" and asked if he was coming back, and then proceeded to wake up at 5:15 the next morning STILL asking about him... Ugh. Stupid kids!
And here Kate plays with her new birthday present, her very own digital camera, while enjoying her one treat for the occassion.
