Boo!

Did I scare you?

Did you jump a little?

Tonight my princesses and I went trick or treating with one of our neighbors. The little black kitty, T (14 months), hung with Daddy and handed out candy while we were gone. It was cold trick or treating and my princesses refused to wear jackets. They didn't want to ruin the look. They were cute, but 30-ish minutes was all they could stand. Their hands were ice!

We came home and they had a blast opening the door telling everyone "Happy Halloween." As one group of kids were leaving, K (29 month) yelled, "You're welcome." It was particularly funny because they hadn't said, "Thank you." They all said thank you after the fact. Heh. My 2 year old is better mannered than the 12 year olds.

A friend of ours came over with her little girl who was also a black kitty. She looked really cute. We hung for a little while until tired little girls (all of them!) started losing it.

Earlier today we went to the preschool parade. It was totally packed. The preschool is actually part of an elementary school so it's pretty big. MWH came for a little while, but he's really busy at work so Mary Poppins came to help too. Yay for Mary Poppins. The girls were surprisingly good. Of course, we had the threat of no trick or treating if you're not good working for us on our side.

The night ended with very tired little girls. The time change and then all the excitement of Halloween is really too much. I tried to get them all to rest / nap for an hour this afternoon, but no one actually napped.

Next year, it will be fun to see if T is as verbal as K. Since K is only 15 months older than T it's easy to think that she'll be in a similar place. K is soooo verbal. She talked the whole time we were trick or treating and it was hilarious. She talked about all the spooky ghosts and all the candy. N kept saying how this was the best Halloween she'd ever been in.

(Soon I have to write about our trip to the Pumpkin Patch... I keep meaning to, but I just never have time!)
