Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!!
We had a great Halloween with Caroline! She was a little monkey, which is actually appropriate given how much she loves to climb! We did a dress rehearsal last weekend with her costume and she cried the whole time. She kept taking off the monkey face, so I was really worried about trick or treating. So I bribed her with fruit snacks and it worked! She kept the costume on the whole time. She also understood pretty quick how to walk up to the door, take the candy, put it in her pumpkin bag, and then go to the next door. We practiced saying "trick or treat" at home, but she forgot once it was time. She was such a big girl and even walked up to the door without me at the end. It was so much fun!!

She saw her first fellow trick or treater on our way to a friend's house. She liked how his horns lit up
