Halloween has past and the treats have been scattered through the house. Pumpkin and Princess had a wonderful time. Pumpkin was Spiderman and Princess was Rapunzel. We had a total of three days of dress up events.
The week before Halloween we went to the local zoo for some fun. Princess was enamored with the talking pumpkin, whom knew her name. Of course mommy knew the voice behind the talking pumpkin so that probably helped. We had to visit the talking pumpkin three times before Princess consented to leaving the zoo.
The day before Halloween we trick-or-treated at great grandma's house. Great grandma had wonderfully wrapped treats for the kids. They each got three Halloween sugar cookies. Then Pumpkin had to ask where the candy was. Thankfully, I had snuck some candy in which saved the day. After sampling the goodies, Princess had a wardrobe malfunction . . . . the bottom of her dress came unraveled. Great-grandma came to the rescue with her trusty sewing machine!
The evening of Halloween we chose the neighborhood of a friend and went to about ten houses. Not too bad, one house was a bit rough. We ran into a headless man, holding his head and covered in blood. It sort of freaked Pumpkin and Princess out. We had to explain to them that it was pretend and that the "guy" was okay and did not have any oucheys.
After we returned home the fun didn't stop. . . .we even trick-or-treated in our house. One of us parents would go into one of the kids' rooms and shut the door, the kids would knock and yell "Trick-Or-Treat!" then we would hand out some candy. Hahaha. . . . .thankful it still works this year, but next year we may have to spend more time going door to door.
