This Halloween was a lot of fun for us. Jaycelyn is old enough to enjoy it now and she had a blast. We started the day by going to story time and hearing lots of Halloween inspired stories. The book store shares space with our favorite cupcake shop, so of course whe got a cupcake as well. J had an orange one which she found very exciting.Next stop was the pumpkin patch. We went to the same one as last year and J even wore the same dress! She did not exactly loving it at first, but after a little bit she did not want to leave. (It seems like that is the way it goes with everything these days!).
Once she warmed up to the place, we had a lot of fun. We must have walked around to each little pumpkin bundle 10 times. She of course picked out a pumpkin that she just would not put done, so we had to bring it home.
We even went out to Jaycelyn's favorite restaurant for lunch... Moe's!
And when Daddy got home it was time to go trick-or-treating. Jaycelyn was very excited to put on her costume (which she calls Punzel because of the criss cross ribbon on the bodice). We decided to take her to the most popular street for trick-or-treating in town. And boy was it impressive. It felt like we were in a movie! All the houses were decked out and there were tons of people. We did not take anywhere near enough pictures.
And Jaycelyn LOVED trick-or-treating. She actually went up to people all by herself! It you know J at all, you know how exciting that is for mommy. And she was all business too. Walk up, take candy, and move on to the next one. About a third of the way she discovered that she was collecting lollipops (her second favorite candy to Pez... she is so my child). And so we finished the rest of the house will the basket in one and and a lollipop in the other. She downed about 4 of them by the time we got back to the car!
Despite a very stressful trip to Khol's, we had a very nice day. I think J really had fun and I can't wait to do it all again next year.
