Bzzzzzz......

Halloween . . . I'm not sure what it is about that holiday, but it sure brings out a lot of excitement in children.  What a crazy holiday!  I remember dressing up when I was a kid and I loved it.  I also remember that my parents never had quite the same sense of excitement as the 3 of us kids . . . And now, I know why!  It's a lot of work to get candy that you don't want your kids to eat anyway.  HA!

Hopefully, my daughter only sensed enthusiasm from me as she dressed up for her Halloween party at school on Friday . . . and as she dressed back up for "trunk or treating" at church on Sunday . . . and as she dressed up one last time for the real deal last night!  Yes, we've had one busy bee!  And she loved every minute!

All fall, people were asking her what she "wants to be" for Halloween.   At our house, we take a different approach (while we can):  what do you "get" to be!  We found her costume early this summer at a garage sale for $4!  It was warm, hooded, practical, and cute.  SOLD!  Paired up with a cute little tutu she just happened to have gotten from her cousins last spring, she looked like a hundred bucks!  And was happy as could bee!

Here are some of our 2012 Halloween memories with our excited little Bumble Bee:

BFF - Spidey! 

Trunk or Treat!

Every "trunk" had a theme . . . Can you guess ours?

I think this was the first time she experienced pumpkin guts! 



Halloween Treats/Dessert







Trick or Treat

 

She ran out of steam a little early, so we didn't quite make it to all of the stops we had hoped, which means she may have to dress up for a belated trick or treating stop next week. I'm sure it won't be too hard to convince her!
