Happy Halloween

We had a really fun Halloween this year! Ella was so into it! I've been building it up for two months now. I got the kids books about halloween with pictures to show it was about pumpkins, and ghosts, and of course candy. We watched Dora Halloween over and over again. Both the kids are so excited when they see anything "pumpkin" now. We also practiced trick or treating where Ella would pretend to knock on my door and I would answer, she'd say "i see please" (her word for candy is i see). I would give her a toy or something in her bucket and she would say "thank you".

Last night we got them dressed in their costumes. Ella was SO EXCITED she could hardly contain herself. And we headed out the door with her walking by Andrew and Lily riding in the wagon. We went up and down my dad's block. And then because it was so cold out, we went over to Eden Prairie mall. You could go to each of the stores there and trick or treat. It lasted as long as their candy did. By the time we got there, over half the stores were out of candy. But maybe that was a good thing, Ella got a good enough stash as it was. I don't think she nor mom and dad need ALL that candy around the house!

Hopefully I'll have our pumpkin patch pictures and Halloween uploaded by this weekend. Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween! (I'll add picures to the post this afternoon when Blogger isn't being so snarky.)
