We've had quite the Halloween celebration. Friday, we went to our ward's trunk-or-treat. Saturday, we went to another ward's trunk-or-treat since it was a medieval theme. In between, we watched various Halloween movies and shows. I'm not huge on scary movies, so I go for the wholesome and funny ones. Yesterday, we went over to our friends' house for dinner and trick-or-treating. While waiting for our friend to pick us up (since our car was being stupid again), I took Claire around the apartment complex and realized that it really is not a good place to trick-or-treat. There was not one kid outside and after going to about half a dozen doors, we gave up since only one person was home. We were picked up about 6:45 and had had one trick-or-treater by then. At our friends' house, I took Claire around the neighborhood. I dressed her up as a cow (I was a farmer) and she was a big hit. One house after another, people were just doting over her. At the first house, she walked right in when they opened the door. I decided to carry her the rest of the time. There were several people who just offered the bowl and Claire would pick out a piece of candy. After two houses with that option (and Claire with one piece of candy in each hand), we were offered it a third time. Without hesitation, Claire put both pieces of candy in one hand and picked out a box of milk duds. As we were walking away from the house, she shook the box at the guy and he just laughed. She repeated the box-shaking for several houses as we walked away. She cracks me up! After dinner, we had dessert (besides candy) and watched Hocus Pocus. Such a fun-filled weekend!

The farmer and the cow
Like the shoes?
She loves goldfish
The costume has a box inside that moos. It's an old costume so it sounds more like a sick cow
Love this kid!

Our first attempt at dinner in a pumpkin (it was yummy!)
Trick-or-treating will really wear a cow out

I love the costumes! She looks so much like you. She reminds me a lot of Jared too.
