This weekend Addy and daddy did some pumpkin carving, which more equalled daddy carving and addy supervising:) It was pretty cute as she didn't want to touch the "dirty" pumpkin..such a girl! At thanksgiving time we had her paint a pumpkin which she did last year, and is something that we will continue to do..something fun, something different that the littles ones can do themselves! Than last night we headed out for some candy stashing! We have taken addy out the past three years and will continue to do so, but halloween isn't something we want to glorify, but its something that we have turned into a fun family night. The last couple of years we have gone out with her cousins, but with one of them moving this weekend, and one set of grandparents gone away right now, it was pretty low key. Going forward I would like to do it more in a group with friends or family as it does make it that much more fun! All in all we had a great time and loved watching her reaction as random people at doors handed her candy! she was quite intrigued by this concept:)
On thing that I have to say though, is that I do get disappointed looking around and seeing costumes getting darker and darker...like when did Zombies come into fashion?? really?? That was hard for me.as well as screening some people's homes as they would come to the door with scary costumes and masks on. Again, people, at six thirty there are babies out there! Can't that wait till after eight?? so that is the part I wasn't really fond of. I guess we will see how it goes in the future. We can always re evalute and hit up some of the local church fairs they put on that night!

Looks like she had fun! I was amazed at how quickly Kenzie got the hang of it all - going to the door, "saying" trick-or-treat, saying thank you, then walking away! She was so proud of her loot, but of course promptly forgot about it (yay for Josh and me!) She had good coaches though - her cousins! She just followed Lisa's boys around :)
But yes, the costumes aren't great... the other part that I hate is that so many young (and old!) girls see Halloween as an excuse to dress as scandalous as possible! Aren't they cold? ;) And let me tell you, as someone who's husband works with yucky old trucker-men... those girls really don't want those men checking them out, but they are! blah!
