Halloween
The other night we took on the task of carving our pumpkin for Halloween. I must say that I am quite impressed with how our jack-o-lantern turned out. Hadley put her hand in to see what the guck was all about but didn't want to get too dirty. She did however want to taste the pumpkin so we let her eat a clean part.
The other day at the Early Years Centre she painted a gourd to get ready for the event. Then today...we took out her costume and headed to the zoo where we met up with Joanne and Gracie. We took a beautiful walk around the Africa's section and we saw LOTS of animals out. I can't get over how nice the day was.
When we got back home we did a mini photo shoot with Halloween as the theme.
Dinner was a nice salmon casserole and then we began trick-or-treating.
This year we only took Hadley to our neighbours house.
1. She doesn't know any different and 2. She doesn't need crazy amounts of candy.
She did however very much enjoy staying in her Winnie the Pooh costume handing out candy to all the kids that came by the door.
Tonight Hadley discovered candy rockets. The small little sugar candies that I used to call "pills" when I was little. She could pick those out of all the other candies quite easily and after she had a taste for them she definitely conveyed to us that she wanted more to eat. http://www.danscandystand.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/thGiantRocketsCandy.jpg
I have posted Halloween photos on facebook for anyone that has me on their friend list and might find that interesting.
Happy Halloween!
