Happy Halloween!

This year I had predicted, with much help from last year, we would have hardly any trick-or-treaters on our busy street, so I only bought one small bag of candy.  Eric panicked on Thursday after work and stopped to buy three more bags (strictly KitKats and Peanut Butter Cups).  We actually were able to give a couple pieces away to a high school kid who was collecting for the food pantry, but that was it!  We stayed in and watched It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and Annabel seemed to like it.

Richard Simmons was our original plan for Annabel, as we thought she could pull off an afro quite well.  We even had a jersey tank top and shorts, but with pre-Halloween practice, she wouldn't keep a sweat band on her head more than a second.  Idea two was a lion, as she makes a great lion or tiger sound lately, but I wanted to make it and just didn't set aside the time to do it.  With no Halloween plans, the ambition was lessened.  Last minute we decided to attend the Western Development Museum's Boo-town Wednesday night, so Eric came up with this cute costume.  Annabel seemed to enjoy looking at all the costumes.  She said "rarrr" to a witch who had a black and orange boa, mistaking her for a tiger.  Same, same.  She went to Smurfs 2 at Movies for Mommies with daycare and our provider said she really seemed to enjoy watching it vs. falling asleep.  She also came home with some fun Halloween crafts.  Such a big girl now!

The museum is set-up as a old town.  Old buildings such as a school house, blacksmiths working, and a real train.

 She got so excited when she spotted this in the grocery store.  She pointed and then clapped before climbing in.
