I’ve always liked Halloween but it is so much more fun when you have a wee one to dress up.
My granddaughter wasn’t too sure about the dressing up part of Halloween. It took some time to convince her that it was ok to wear a dress with bears on it.
Trick or Treating takes place the day before Halloween where we live. I am not sure why that it is. It is held from 6 PM to 8 PM. The kids are only allowed to go to homes where the porch light is lit. There weren’t many homes with the porch light on this year, in fact there really weren’t that many kids out in my neighborhood, then again it was kind of cold.
Anna cried for the first few houses, she thought people were trying to take her candy bag, she’s quite territorial about some things. She soon started offering up her bag before reaching the door once she realized people were giving her candy. Kids learn fast.
I loved seeing the police scattered every few blocks with their lights flashing. The police were handing out candy and get this…Pizza to the kids. It was a nice thing for them to do.
Anna, my daughter and I were ready to call it quits after about 6 blocks. It was getting to close to bed time and Goldie Locks was ready for her bedtime story.
Halloween 2008 was fun and I was able to get some cute pictures of Anna. It’s all about the memories afterall.
