Trick or Treat!












We had a great Halloween week. It started with Boo at the Zoo, pumpkin carving, then we had a Hallowen parade at Lucy's school on Thursday, Halloween on Friday (and then off to Pittsburgh). Lucy loved carving pumpkins and was definitely in charge of the night's fun. She dictated how the faces should look, what seeds to keep and roast and was in love with the final results when they were all aglow. Harper liked sticking her hands in the gooey insides and watching all the excitement.
For the Halloween parade, Lucy dug out her old ladybug costume (the theme was "all God's creatures"). As you can see in the video, Lucy is the hoppiest at school as well as at home.
Trick or treating went great. Lucy walked her little legs off, filled her goody bag and didn't get scared or whiny one bit. She chose all candy bars when givenn the choice and really liked seeing all the kids running crazy. Harper just went along with the spooktacular fun. Lucy is already gearing up for next year and the next. Her guess is that she will want to be a peacock next year, a ladybug the following year and a monkey after that.
