Man was I a crappy mom for Halloween! I felt very unmotivated to do much this year. We did go to the ward Halloween party, and we did go trick or treating, but I felt like there was something missing. I didn't feel like I was totally in the Halloween spirit. Oh well, I guess there is always next year. I really wanted Penny to be a cat this year. Don't ask why, I just did. I thought I could find her some cute black leggings, black shirt, and ears and tail. I went to 5 stores looking for those simple items and got stuck when I could not find a black shirt! I find a black turtle neck but the likelyhood of Penny wearing a turtleneck is very very slim. So, I went to Old Navy and got her a cupcake costume. I knew there would be more kids wearing this costume, and that is why I didn't want to cop out and get something already made at a popular store. Oh well, there is always next year. So, Penny was a pretty darn cute cupcake but she did not want to wear the cupcake!! She spent 15 minutes in her room crying before the ward party because she didn't want to wear it, and I said she had to, to get the treats. Finally she wore it, but I didn't get very good pictures.
This is Penny's friend, Ellie. She asks to go to her house everyday! They are good little friends:)
There were many activities to choose from. There was coloring...
Eating a doughnut on a string...
And a cake walk, complete with a cupcake a the end.
What I didn't get a picture of was her actually trick or treating or doing the fishing for a prize. She was really great at trick or treating. She would say twick or tweat, and would sometimes say thank you, but most of the time pick out a treat and put it in her bag. Later in the week we decided to carve pumpkins. I wanted to get it done before stupid hurricane Sandy came, because I didn't want to lose power and not be able to cook my pumpkin seeds. Penny thought it was absolutely disgusting, she wouldn't even touch the pumpkin after I was finished. I got all my seeds out and baked them and then we never carved our pumpkins! AHH! Oh well, there is always next year:) Like I was talking about hurricane Sandy, we ended up getting some pretty good wind and rain. The worst thing was the rain. It had already been raining for a couple of days straight and then Sandy came and I was just super tired of rain. When it came time for the real trick or treating on Halloween, guess who was still around? Sandy! So, it was a very wet trick or treat outside. Here is Penny, who by now, knew what I was talking about when I said lets go trick or treat, could hardly contain herself.
Like I said, there is always next year to really bang out Halloween but, being pretty pregnant with a 2 year old and Chuck was working both party and Halloween, I think it will still be memorable:)
