Halloween at Our Place
After the festivities today at Ria's house, I got the lowdown on Caroline's day. Turns out that when Ria wasn't watching, she picked up and licked the frosting off about half a dozen cupcakes and put them ever-so-carefully back on the plate. When asked is she ate the frosting off the cupcakes, Caroline of course said "YES". We try to teach our daughter manners. Honest. We even make her use her silverwear to eat spagetti and say things like "please, thank you, bless you and Amen". I guess there is just more Leahy in her than it looks like from the outside...
We went to a few houses trick or treating tonight. We, of course, bought twenty dollars worth of candy (after almost running out last year) and had a whopping total of four trick or treaters this year. The best was when two children (aged about 10 and 7, I suppose) came to the door. The girl was dressed in a beautiful velvet dress and had her hair all done up. I asked her who she was and she said "Guinevere". Pretty creative, I thought. The little boy looked like something out of the middle ages, so I asked him if he was King Arthur. Nope, he said he was Annikan Skywalker. Only then did I notice his sword was a light sabre. DUH.
Caroline did pretty well with the whole trick or treat thing. She did try to take the whole bowl of candy at our neighbor's house instead of just a piece, but she was starting to get the idea and have fun with it. We knew she was tired when we came down from one house with Jim and said "All done candy". We went home after that. Her costume was super cute. I hope her baby brother likes Nemo so we can get more than one wear out of it.

Nemo: rested and ready for action.

Trying to get Alaina and Caroline to pose together...needless to say - it didn't work
Ummm....Yeah. I guess she didn't try to take the whole bowl of candy only at the neighbor's house.
"Dada. Candy. Please."
Waiting for the trick or treaters to arrive...
