Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Woof?

Well we had a fab Halloween. It's amazing how much more fun holidays are again when you get to share them with your kiddos. Tabby was all about the Halloween this year. I know she didn't get it all but she knew something was up.

I picked her up early from daycare and we had a very nice nap. After nap time, we worked on dinner. Then she was thrilled to change into her costume. She got to “tricktreat” at her baby sitter's house and then at a bunch of houses around our neighborhood. While she enjoyed the “tricktreat”ing a lot, she got a bit scared by some of the masks and decorations. But she was very happy to come home and eat “can-e” and “mo can-e.” It was a restless night's sleep for her (the sugar? the scary things?) but she had a great time.

Dinner was also a hit, with us liking the new stuffing (craisins, wild rice, pine nuts) for the pumpkins better than the old. It was hard to even try the cupcakes after all the other sugar, but they were really good.

Matt, of course, spent all day carving his pumpkins.

That's Hillary, a pirate ship, Elmo (for Tabby) and devil Flanders. I think he seriously out-did himself. 8 hours on pumpkins, people. Gotta love him.
