HALLOWEEN FUN

Happy Halloween everyone! What a fun week this has been. Who knew that all you had to do was put on a costume, say "Trick or Treat" and/or say "Happy Halloween" and all kinds of people would give you candy and other fun stuff!

We've had quite the fun week getting ready for the big pumpkin day. First we made sugar cut-out cookies. We made pumpkins and skeletons. I got to do more than just stir this time.

Daddy even helped us frost the cookies. He's very creative! This, of course, is me eating one of my cookies.

And these are some of our Halloween cookies!
Then we got to carve pumpkins. We actually grew a nice sized one this year. Amazing what some sunshine on the garden will do for a pumpkin! Our home-grown pumpkin is the closest one to the front in the picture. The others we got at our visit to the pumpkin patch. See - pretty big, huh! I'm not afraid to get down and dirty with the pumpkin goo.
And daddy does the carving! He's great at making fun faces. I wanted mine to be nice, not scary!Here are our pumpkins all finished and ready to display.And then, finally, the big day arrived. I got to spend the WHOLE day with mommy at her office. Her work opens up their building and lets everyone's kids come through to trick or treat. They have a big party with lots of treats and cool decorations. It was so much fun! I really got the hang of this Halloween thing. By the way, just a hint . . . ask for the treats, not the tricks! Some funny "Cloud" kept wandering by mommy's office squirting water (rain) at us all day.

I was a pirate this year! I thought I looked great - if I do say so myself.

Here is a picture of baby Sam and me from tonight. Baby Sam had a candy corn outfit on today, but then he got to be a Cow tonight when we trick or treated around the neighborhood.Sam Alert: Happy Halloween . . . not a bad haul for my first Halloween! Hope everyone is safe out there. Stay tuned for more from the coming weekend. Mom and dad say there promises to be more fun coming along.
