I have to admit Halloween is probably my least favorite "Holiday" out of the entire year. As the years have passed it has just become more and more evil and less about the fun of going door to door in a SAFE neighborhood with your family and friends.
Despite all that stuff, Evelyn has put a different twist onto things. I enjoy very much taking her to the pumpkin patch and watching her little eyes light up with fascination. We have yet to take her around any neighborhood to trick-or-treat but we do have a local event that we have attended every year. They close the whole downtown area and all the stores hand out candy to the kids. It gets crowded but I think its worth all the commotion. So far we have been able to dress her up in whatever we want her to be. The first year I looked online for a costume and was completely floored at how unoriginal and EXPENSIVE baby/toddler costumes are. As a result of all that, I pulled out the craft box and went for it.
The first year Evelyn was a Hippy
The Second an Owl
This year she will be a Cookie Monster
I am hoping our little boy arrives a few days before Halloween so I can join Jason and Evelyn. Otherwise I will be to pregnant to walk or sitting on an ice pack at home with a newborn.
Oh the joys!
I can't believe this will be our third Halloween with Ev. Crazy how quickly time passes.
