Last year we spent Halloween evening laughing when kids realized that the little bouncy seat on the porch held a living baby. Many missed that little fact when sticking their hands in the candy bowl. This year, Katherine was not to go unnoticed. No ma’am. In fact, I believe there were a couple of instances where she shopped in other kids bags of candy. She thought it more of a candy exchange than giving candy.
We did try trick or treating. I think the rule is going to be she can go to as many houses as she can walk to. This way we don’t have 10 tons of candy for a 5 year old that wants to eat it all in one night. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. At about 17 months old she made it to two houses. Superb!!! After the second house she proceeded to plop her little behind on the sidewalk and take all of her candy out of her pumpkin and rub it on the sidewalk. Why? No idea. And she didn’t seem inclined to answer my question of “oh Frankie, why are you rubbing your candy on the sidewalk?” She just looked up and laughed.
This year Stephen used his 90% off 2008 clearance purchased fog machine. Oh yeah – his cheapness is H.O.T.!! Well, I appreciate it anyway! =) While Stephen and I thought it was very cool… Franken-Nugget did not. At all. It was a GREAT way to keep her close by. You turn it on for 5 seconds and she’d be right back on my lap. Mean you say? Whatever.
For year #2 we had multiple compliments on our festive decorations. (YAY!) One guy (creepily) took several pictures of one of the signs we had out front. We really thought he was casing the inside of our house he spent so much time taking the picture.
There were also multiple folks that remembered Katherine last year and were quite fond of our little Frankie. She is pretty cute – and no, I don’t think I’m biased. Okay, maybe just a leeeetle bit!
Some pictures from Frankie’s evening…
