this year i was a lion. mommy got me a costume from my daycare lady and it was perfect! it was a little big, but you couldn't really tell. sadly, i was kind of cranky on halloween. maybe i needed a nap. or maybe i just didn't like wearing all that make-up on my face. who knows.
we wanted to get out of the house early, so around 5:45 mommy and daddy got me all dressed up and we headed out the door to uncle josh and aunt sara's. it was my very first house EVER! uncle josh goes crazy on halloween, so his house was kind of scary. but we weren't afraid. mommy carried me while daddy held the video camera. when we all got up to the door we all yelled "trick or treat!" and when uncle josh and aunt sara came out they just about died because i was seriously so cute. uncle josh was so overjoyed he threw a huge handful of candy into my bag. (mommy was really happy about that!) here is a picture of all of us!
i was a little overhwelmed so i cried a little, but mommy and daddy let me have my pacifier and then i was fine again! uncle josh and aunt sara said i was still cute anyway. well, our next stop was at aunt louise and uncle timothy's house. we walked up to the door and yelled again! aunt louise and uncle timothy had some of mommy's favorite candies - milky way and almond joy! i grabbed a milky way for her - i mean... for me. but i coudn't leave without a picture of all of us!
aunt louise loved my costume. she had to turn me around to show off my tail. oh, the indignity of it all.
since i was getting crankier by the minute we had to hurry next over to grandma and grandpa waid's house. by the time we got there it was almost completely dark. they were handing out good candy this year too! none of that bit-o-honey stuff! grandpa held out the bowl and let me pick whatever i wanted. i didn't really know what to do until grandma started handing me milky ways. i knew right what to do with them once i got them in my hand though - the same thing i do with EVERYTHING these days! straight into the mouth. i kept dropping them on the porch but grandma kept handing me new ones while grandpa snuck the slimy ones into my bag. they don't really taste as good as mommy says. they just taste a little plasticy and the consistancy is not very good either. oh well! here is a picture of me with grandpa and grandma waid.
we went inside and talked for a bit and mommy got this cute close-up of my lion face - even though i have my pacifier in. hey, lions can't be ferocious all the time!
and here you can see my lion costume in it's entirety. daddy was making me be a scary lion!
all in all it was a great first halloween! daddy said mommy had to leave all my candy until i am old enough to eat it myself. but mommy said no way! but that's ok, i'd give it to mommy anyway. she's my favorite. shh! don't tell daddy!
