Halloween FUN!

The first thing out of Carissa's mouth this morning was, "Is it Halloween today?". So of course once I told her yes, she wanted to go trick-or-treating that very instant! Funny thing is, is that by the time it was ready to get ready (which involved washing the hair and doing it) she wasn't so keen on going and was asking if she could just stay home. Well I fought her to take the bath, and do the hair, and then as soon as the costume was on, she was ready to GO!

Problem was it was only 4:30....so the waiting began........AGAIN!

Decided since it was "Happy TinkerBell DAy" that it was only appropriate to bust out the new Tinkerbell movie! So that kept her happy until it was over, but it still wasn't quite dark yet. (Which is a really cute little movie and done really well!)

Once it was finally time to go. She caught on REALLY quick! So fast that I couldn't even keep up with her! She was cutting across lawns like the big kids do just to get there faster! (Sorry about that guys!)

Here she is running to the next house with her loot!

Here is Andrew! I'm going to title this one "Third House"! See.....he's already busting into her candy!

Check out that cute Tinkerbell back there! I decided that since all the pictures were blurry of her running around, that I should keep the one that looks like I did it on purpose (which I did!)

This one summs up the constant running. Look at my neighbor Mary, who was being so cute and trying to talk to Carissa about her costume. (Carissa took a baby sign class from her, so they are buds) and look at her, she just wants to get going....no time for chit chat Miss Mary! (this one really makes me laugh)

Then when we got home, we brought one of her friends and her brother home with us. The kids pulled up chairs in front of the TV and watched a Strawberry Shortcake movie while they tried to sneak the candy! She was so cute looking at all the candy. She pulled out a box of "dots" and promptly told us, "I don't like these, take them away"! Then she ate way more than she should have (so have I!) but I think she had a great time.
