Halloween was actually a lot of fun this year. I think Avery was old enough this time to actually participate in the slimy pumpkin dissecting, looked cute as can be in her baby strawberry get-up, and loved going up to peoples' houses to ring the doorbell. To her disappointment, she just didn't quite understand why she couldn't actually GO into everyones houses. I guess this makes much more sense when you really think about it. Walk up to every door, ring the door bell, get them to answer, and then....just walk away?
What they say about living childhood over again through your own kids it totally true. I have to admit that Halloween has never been one of my favorite holidays. Don't get me wrong- it's fun an all, but if I had to choose between all of the other holidays, it wouldn't make the top 3. This is probably due to growing up in Anchorage. By Halloween, we always had tons of snow already, and most of the time you had to plan your costume around wearing a big puffy snowsuit or coat. So, no cute skinny little snow whites or pincesses for us. It was either the obvious round pumpkin, or a fat witch. The latter of which is no good, in any situation. Having said that, Avery is making me like Halloween much more now.
This year, due to Halloween, Avery has learned the following words:
sly-mee
boo!
caaan-dee
choc-it
happy ween!
frick o freet
vitch
skair-ey
Dana also sent me the cutest black t-shirt to showcase little man in the belly. Can't quite believe we'll have 2 to dress up this time next year!
