Trick or Treat

Our Halloween started off with pumpkin carving with Daddy. Clara told him the shapes she wanted for the "face" requesting circles for eyes, a triangle for the nose. She also decided that she wanted her pumpkin to have teeth. After a quick PB&J dinner (she wouldn't eat the spaghetti Mommy rushed to make), she put on her costume and spent a few minutes admiring herself in the mirror. We had so much fun trick or treating with Kendall and her parents. Daddy stayed at the house to pass out candy, but we were sure to stop at his house for some extra good treats. Clara and Kendall were so polite, sweet, and patient saying thank you to each person we met. They looked so small next to the doors, and received many "aww's, and ohhh's." Clara was out for about an hour and she walked the whole way and also carried her candy pumpkin. She has never really had candy, but she thought it was fun to send her lollipops sliding down the ramp of her toy car garage. It makes both of us very excited for all of the holidays that we will experience together as a family now that Clara is old enough to get it. We hope you all had as much fun tonight as we did.




Happy Halloween!

Halloween Part 2

Well, our attempts to get Clara into a costume as Winnie the Pooh's honey pot were foiled by a bad cold that turned into croup. We did, however, carve her a little pumpkin that I picked at a real pumpkin patch in MD on a second grade field trip, and we carved the big pumpkin that was a gift for my classroom from the parents. I scooped the seeds out, and Clara was very scared of the inside of the pumpkins. Chris meticulously and very professionally carved the faces and letters. So, we apologize there aren't any costume pics, but we'll take a healthy, well-rested child instead.

"Which one should I choose?"


"Can I have this one, daddy? Pretty please?"

All looks good
