Happy Halloween 2008

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Here I am at my third annual Halloween! (pretty awesome considering I'm just 2!) My first year I went as a newborn baby dressed in an oversized Halloween onesie. It was kind of a stretch. You may remember the Oma hit costume the mouse in the wedge of cheese from last year! Well Oma has done it again! This is me in a design by Oma that I call Dinosaur Chic (we also heard musings about a dragon and alligator while out trick-or-treating).


I dragged Mom and Dad all over the 'hood on a candy and chocolate mission!!!!


I'm not so much into the posing with the pumpkins thing. Our front porch isn't nearly as picturesque as the neighbors!


Now THIS is what I call a front porch! I swoon to visit everyone else's front porch and knock on their doors the other 364 days out of the year. So it would figure that Halloween is my kind of bash!



Some people really go all-out!


I carried my snickers bar the whole time we trick-or-treated. Remind me again Dad, when do I get to open it and eat it?


Our last stop for the night was at Rosalind's (oops, I mean Minnie Mouse's) house. She invited me to sit in her little red wagon.




We made it home at last. Just in time to watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" starring Lola Jean, oops, I mean Snoopy!


Earlier in the day, Mom and I made Halloween Cut-Out Cookies!
I was a whiz at the rolling pin!


You see...you hold the handles tight and it rolls back and forth. Get it?


We bake a lot at school and I think it's the best!


Here are the cut-outs before they hit the oven (and grow into undecipherable shapes). Mom had cut-outs for a pumpkin, a scary cat and a long and skinny bat. Can you tell which shape was my favorite?

Hope all you ghosts and ghouls had a great Halloween! I sure did!
