Trick-or-Treating

The anticipation had finally paid off, and it was FINALLY the day of Halloween! Carissa woke up that morning SUPER excited! Then to realize it was only 7:30am, and there would be a bit more waiting until it finally time for trick-or-treating! Unfortunately during that waiting period, she began to have doubts about what to wear for her costume. (which had already been clearly established!) She kept saying that she wanted to be "TinkerBell" (which was what she wore last year) or even a "kangaroo" (which IS adorable, but she wore it 2 years ago...and it really is too small!). Then she had a complete meltdown when she wanted to be "Sleeping Beauty"! I wasn't prepped up for a princess costume, and it was much too cold to wear it, since she would have had to wear a coat over it anyway. SO FINALLY, she calmed down and let us dress her in her adorable kitty costume, and she meow-ed all over the neighborhood!


When Judy answered the door, she was so excited that her "nursery teacher" was giving her treats! (funny that she remembers her when she rarely stayed in the class without crying!)




At one door, when the door opened, she started meow-ing, instead of saying the traditional "trick-or-treat", and the gal said, "what do you say?", and Carissa's response was "Meow-meow-meowwwww"! (Which obviously is "trick-or-treat" in adorable kitty language!)

We finally caught up with her friend Kassidy (who dressed as a "wolf" and howled all night)


Back at home checking out all the loot! (you should have seen Andrew's pile....it was just about as big! I didn't realize he'd been stuffing his pockets as he took her up to the door! Next year, I think I'll make him carry a bucket too!)





Now she thinks her birthday is "in a couple of seconds"! Wow, the next 3 months are going to be excruciating to deal with! Thankfully we do have Christmas in there too!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
