I got the idea from my friend, Mari, to carve one pumpkin with teeth to match the ones that Taylor has (4 on top, and 2 on bottom).
We also carved a scary one, and one with all three of our initials
After her nap, we went to 'trunk or treat' at my parents church. It's an alternative to traditional trick or treating where people decorate the trunks of their cars and give out candy. It was a fun, safe environment with lots of activity!
In the car ready to go!!!
I decided to put a bow in her hair because at lunch 3 people said, 'awww, isn't he cute?'. Yep he sure is. I think it's the hair that makes people think SHE is a boy since it grows straight forward and I guess looks boyish. Just stick a bow on her pretty little head, and voila! Instant girl. Also, I am not sure if you can see the nasty bruise on the (her) right side of her forehead - she has fallen THREE times on the exact same spot over the past week. Luckily, it looks like one injury and not all over her head making it look like we beat her. The last fall was while we were carving pumpkins outside, she hit her head on the sidewalk. Ouch.
Once we got to the church Taylor was ready for some candy!
Most of the 'trunks' were games, where they gave you candy after you played. This one had a little car set up with a ramp where you rode to the candy. Pretty cute idea.
We then met up with Kara, Jon and Eleanor!
Taylor and Eleanor had the same costume (thanks Kara for telling me where to find the pumpkin costume!) so, of course, this just screams photo-op!
Trying to get them both to look at the camera is impossible. But, they sure do look cute!
Taylor has figured out how to clap - so cute.
Then, of course, they both wanted the plastic pumpkin and water bottles
After the 'trunk or treat' we went home, ate some dinner, watched a little college football, then the massive amount of trick or treaters started. We had a TON of 'kids' (some I would hardly call a kid). Our plan was to sit outside with Taylor and hand out candy. She kept falling down, this time scraping her fingers a little, so we thought just put her in the grass
Nope. She made a beeline right for the sidewalk. We then, took her stick away to which she screamed, and brought her inside. Soon after we had some trick or treaters at the door, all the while Taylor was screaming and JT swears the little boy said hesitantly 'tr..tr...trick or treat' He was scared out of his mind wondering what in the world was going on inside. Poor boy. Poor Taylor. Poor US!
It was a great Halloween with lots of laughs, smiles and only a few tears.
A few more pictures of sweet Taylor because I just can't help myself.
Happy Halloween!!!
