I remember this time last year teaching her to say Trick or Treat. And she was a Denver Broncos cheerleader, a little thing carefully running up and down the streets. This year she was a lady bug (for the most part). She refused to wear the headband with the antennae so I cut the antennae off the head band and snuck them into her pigtails. Score one for me. She refused to wear the lady bug wings around her shoulders so I safety-pinned it to her back. She only was annoyed with it at the very last house! The leggings are blue...closest I had to black because it was a little chilly out tonight (and she would refuse black tights). By the way, PERFECT Halloween weather! She was great at saying Trick or Treat and Thank You! It's her third Halloween but it's amazing she doesn't even realize she's done this before. Last year she was old enough to go up to the doors and get a little candy too. Doesn't even remember it. Our group of kids are getting older. Usually we just walk up and down one and a hlaf streets but this time we kept going and made some blocks. It was really fun because there were lots of Trick Or Treaters out.
Pre-Anna we'd have had a big dinner for friends and give out candy. Halloween is our favorite holiday. These days most of the friends have moved away, or are busy, and I can't summon the energy this year. Every minute is consumed with things to do so every chance I have to do nothing is nice...
Gotta go prep for Monday night's class.
