Because the neighborhood we live in has such big lots and long driveways, we have a trick or treat hay ride. There were 3 4-wheelers with trailers and hay bails to drive us around our neighborhood. Jade had a great time with this! There were 20ish kids ranging in age from about 18months to probably 13ish and then a handful of adults riding along. We brought a blanket along to sit on and enjoyed the ride from house to house. Jade decided she wanted to trick or treat at the first house by herself and just follow all the kids. That was the only house she did alone other than ours. I think there were just too many fast moving kids. The older kids would run to the door and then run back to the trailer. Jade was a little overwhelmed by this. I think she had a blast trick or treating. She kept talking about filling her pumpkin "all the way to the top." We trick or treated for about an hour and then had Nate pick us up at the last house in our neighborhood. The older kids went on to the next neighborhood. Jade dressed up as one of her favorite princesses this year, Sophia the First. All week, she kept telling me I was going to be a fairy. I didn't have a fairy costume, so asked if I could be Sophia's Mom and wore a bridesmaid dress from my Mom's wedding. She thought it was fun to have me dressed up too. Megan was an elephant just like Jade was on her first Halloween. Poor Megan is just going to be whatever Jade was for the first few years!
We also painted pumpkins early in the month and then carved them this week. I found a Disney kit, so we had a Minnie Mouse pumpkin and a Daisy Duck pumpkin.
Happy Halloween Everyone!
Sophia the First doesn't like/want to get her picture taken.
Sophia the First and Sophia's Mommy...Queen Miranda.
She hates hats! It was pretty funny watching her get mad and pull the hood off!
