Trick or Treat!

We had a Happy Halloween in the Smith family!  Eve loved showing off her "cat shirt" that Grandma Larsen sent! 



 

On Monday night for part of Family Home Evening, we carved Eve's pumpkin.  Ok, Andrew did most of the work.  But Eve and I provided the moral support! 

 

This is about as close as Eve would get to the pumpkin guts, so I got to scoop them out.

 

 

 

She was much more interested in helping hold the knife and carve :)

 

 

She did manage to find this among the seeds: the pumpkin's heart!

 

 

It only took her a minute or so, though, to break his heart....

 

Nothing a nice kiss won't fix!

 

 

Helping Daddy light it up!

 

 

"It looks really good!  Thanks, Dad!"

 

 

Showing off their work!

 

 

On Wednesday night for Halloween, Andrew had class so Eve and I were on our own.  We sure missed Andrew!  But tried our best to carry on...

 

Eve got to dress up as Cinderella for Halloween.  Eve doesn't watch TV or movies, so she doesn't know who too many characters are, but from a combo of her diapers, a chapstick we got her, and a Disney princess bag a friend had given her, she knows who Minnie Mouse and Cinderella are.  We decided on Cinderella and Eve was super excited to wear her dress!

 

 

 

 

"Ok, Mom, time to go get my candy, yet?"

 

 

It was a lot darker than I was anticipating when we left the house.  Our kind neighbor gave me a flashlight to take with us so we made our rounds. 

 

Neither Eve or I walk very fast these days and on top of that, only about 1 in 10 houses was passing out candy, so it was a LOT of walking for very little return.  But Eve didn't know the difference, so we had fun.  She would say "trick or treat" before people opened the door and as we were walking away, but not really in the moment.  She did, at least, say "thank you" to everyone, which was cute too! 

 

 

Looking over her loot back home:

 

 

"This one looks yummy!"

 

 

The whoopers won out!  Eating her first piece of 2012 Halloween candy:
