Halloween

Halloween is SO incredibly fun with kids. I have been sort of a Halloween grinch in the past, but this year was so fun. We carved pumpkins, went to a trick or treat event at the zoo & had a blast trick or treating around our neighborhood. Lucy absolutely loved it! She kept asking for "more doors". She just wanted to keep going. She lasted longer than older kids, but that is so her personality. She is a little ball of fire and knows what she wants. When she went up to the doors she would say trick or treat & thank you & would pick her treat very carefully. Most of the time she would try to go in the house, she is such a social little girl. When we got home with her big pail of candy, we put it on the porch and went inside. The 'halloween fairy' picked it up, rang the doorbell and left her a special toy. It was a little karaoke toy and she loved it. When anyone asks her where she got the toy she says "ding dong" because she heard the doorbell and it was on the porch. She is so fun. We ate all her candy after she went to bed...lol. I think that will be funny to tell her when she's older. Eli was just along for the ride and was his good natured little self. We love celebrating holidays with these kiddos. They add so much magic, joy & laughter to our lives.
