Happy Halloween!

This was the first holiday that Grace could really participate in and I think she had fun. She certainly didn't understand why we kept putting her in a fancy dress. And I don't think she understood why all the people keep coming to our house and taking stuff from her bowl of "toys".

If you can't tell from the pictures Grace was Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

The Halloween celebration started on Friday night with a party at Grace's day care. The day care put a nice party together with all sorts of activities which were mostly for bigger kids. We hung out with the toddlers over at the dance party. Unfortunately, I think Grace was a little confused about why we were there and all of the people. She eventually warmed up and danced a little.

Tuesday we carved our pumpkin, well Mommy carved the pumpkin. Grace lost interest pretty quick and Daddy supervised. I worked hard on this pumpkin so feel free to leave a comment about how awesome it is.

Finally, today, Halloween. Daddy was pretty excited to take Grace out Trick-or-Treating for the first time so I made sure and left work good and early. Good thing, there was an accident on the highway so it took us an hour and fifteen minutes to get home. That's ok, Daddy had supper already. After supper Grace and Daddy got ready.

But before they left Grace had to check out how awesome Mommy's pumpkin was.

After Daddy and Grace returned Grace was happy to help Mommy hand out candy by picking thru the bowl and taking all of the candy out. Then putting some back in. She also enjoyed taking the small round candies and throwing them out the door when I opened it. She insisted on being next to that candy bowl picking thru it until we put her to bed. I know she didn't know that she could eat what was in the bowl. I don't think I will ever truly understand her fascination with the bowl of candy.

One more of my pumpkin...

Oh you were thinking this pumpkin huh?
