Halloween

This Halloween season was such a blast. In lieu of giving Olivia a knife to carve pumpkins ("punkins"), we painted. Olivia had so much fun and asked for paint everyday for about a week after.

We went to a local pumpkin patch, and ended up coming home with this cute little kitty.

The girls had so much fun climbing/sitting on hay barrels and exploring all of the pumpkins - big and small.

At my work, they have an annual Daycare Halloween Parade, where all of the health department workers bring candy and the daycare kids go trick or treating throughout the building. At first Olivia was very uncooperative wearing her costume, but once she realized she got candy for wearing it, all of the sudden it was not such a burden :)

Later that day we went trick or treating in our neighborhood. Both of the girls were so much fun. Olivia would pick and choose which houses she wanted to go to (some of them were scary!). She really liked houses that were decorated with lots of lights, and a few times she just wanted to get closer to inspect the decorations, and wasn't interested in ringing the doorbell at all.

Olivia had just as much fun at home when the trick or treaters came to our house. When someone would knock, she would get so excited and scream "trick or treat"! She is also a candy nazi, and freaked out when I took a Snickers "No, my candy!" Oh she has so much to learn. It costs half of your Halloween booty if you want Mommy to buy you a costume.
