Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Halloween is the probably the #1 day of the year to share cute pictures of your kids, and we're no different! Here are a bunch of pictures of Bea in her Halloween finery. As you can tell, she's a Minnesota Gopher cheerleader. (As a consolation to the Wisconsin fans, she still said "Go Bucky!" despite the costume.)

I originally wanted Bea to be something she could say (Dog, Bear, Horse, etc.). Matt and I scoured the city for a decent animal costume that would fit her. We finally settled on a dog costume, but when we brought it home and put Bea in it, she freaked out!! She didn't like it at all, and it scared her when we showed her the mirror. Sooooo... on to plan B. We had the cheerleader outfit at home -- so we just added the pom poms and wha-la... Halloween costume. Daddy was very, very happy.

You can click on the pictures to see them bigger (you can do that to any pic on this blog, actually).

Here is Bea beating a drum in her costume during the day care Halloween party.

The day care took the kids around the local shopping center for "Trick or Treat". There's Bea in the middle row of the buggy with her friend, Kamari. Her two best friends, Gustavo and Monroe are the pirate and vampire in the front row.


Here are the older kids at the head of the pack, heading over to the Perkins.


Here is Bea playing with one of her teachers, Miss Houng.

Here she is on Halloween night before going trick or treating.


She likes the pom poms a lot.


Here's Bea in crossing our yard to the neighbor's house. She is really too young for the candy, but she likes to put things in and out of her pumpkin bucket... and she likes the candy with crinkly-sounding wrappers best.


Here we are coming home from trick or treating in the neighborhood (this is our porch). Grandma and Grandpa were there taking pictures and helping out.
Hope you had as nice of a Halloween as we did. -- Melissa
