Trick or Treat . . .

Smell my Feet! Happy Halloween everyone!!! The big day is finally here!! Riley has been so excited for trick or treating and to wear her monkey costume, she has wanted to wear it almost every day for the last week. While David was home recovering last week we went to buy pumpkins, but everyone was too tired for carving so we decided to paint them instead. Riley had a great time picking out her own pumpkin and painting it as well. What kid doesn't love to get all messy :) Last night was our night for trick or treat so Riley got all dressed up and we went out along with her cousins Abbi (American Girl, Kit) and Elli(Cutie Pumpkin), and Aunt Tiff(amazing creator of both costumes, and Riley's banana bag :) ). Her favorite stop was our neighbors house where she got to say hi to Miranda and check out their huge spider web. Riley was way excited to run around with the girls and we worked hard on saying "trick or treat" this past week, which she actually said multiple times while we were out. Unless she was really excited for what candy they had, then she would say "want some candy" instead. But she did tell people "thank you" and then later on started telling people "thanks, have fun!" which she must have heard somewhere along the way. We only went for about a half hour then called it quits, we were holding the big kids up from getting candy faster because Riley had to stop and pick up acorns along the way as well:) She had just as much fun passing out candy at home though, and even more fun telling the lit up jack o lanterns "happy birthday!" because they all had candles inside. So all in all it was a great time, we all stayed up too late, had too much sugar, and some of us are kind of noticably grumpy today because of it . . . not that i'm naming names or anything :) Happy Halloween!
