Trick-Or-Treat

Halloween was wonderful! Kali really seemed to enjoy it. 

Sunday we headed to a Fall Festival with Kali at Mema's church.  She enjoyed it so much! There was a huge blow up slide, and Kali and TJ went down that thing 5 times! She cried when we had to leave because she wanted to keep going down the slide.  I guess we know what we're going to have to get her next year for her birthday! :)

First time down the slide with Daddy

She wanted to go again!

Again...

Cheese!

I loved her little round face in this costume! Those cheeks are adorable!

Walking around the whole place.

The slide...again

And again... :-)

On Halloween, TJ woke up and didn't feel very well. I'm thinking it was because he's been working non-stop between his actual job, and his lawn care business.  Not to mention all the things that the family has been doing.  So, he stayed home.  I, thankfully, was able to get off work at 4pm so that I could get home and get everything ready for our 5 stops that we were planning on making. 

I got home shortly after 4:30 and TJ and Kali were carving our pumpkin.  It turned out so cute, and we put it right next to the one that I made on the porch.

Here is Kali and her pumpkin.

She didn't want to let it go.

After we put the pumpkins on the porch (after some wrestling the little one away from Kali) I was able to gather all the things we needed for the night (blanket, bucket, wagon) and we got our Kalibug ready to be a ladybug.  Then we headed to Mema and Papa's house to start our trick-or-treating adventures.

She did so well walking up to the door

But Papa's decorations did scare her and she wouldn't ring the door bell.

 After we left Mema's neighborhood, we went to the Lynn Haven Fall Festival.  It was too packed for us to really enjoy it, but it was nice to stop by and see what was going on.  I'm sure Kali will have more fun next year when she can play some of the games.

Then, it was off to Tee's house for some dinner and more trick-or-treating. But...

This is how we found her when we got there.

And Theresa's house is only about 5 miles down the road with 2 stop lights. LOL!

Theresa had a wonderful dinner all ready for everyone that was making their stops.  It was so yummy, and Kali ate 1/2 of my chili!  This kid can eat!!!  We waited a little while for Jen and the boys to get there, and then headed around the neighborhood for candy gathering.  Kali, Travis, and Trevor were freaking adorable!

And of course, my kid is going to be the one that won't smile.

It was a lot of fun, and Kali got some good candy.  She had her first Snickers, Reeses (although she snuck that one, and ate a little tinfoil), and had her first sucker.  She loved it all.  And surprisingly, she went right to sleep without a problem.  I guess she takes after her mother, who can drink a cup of coffee right before going to bed.  Or maybe her father who will drink 2 Pepsi's between 5pm and 10pm and fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.  Either way, she should be destined to be a good sleeper...but she's still getting up around 2am wanting to snuggle in bed. Meh, she won't be this little for long!! :-)

I'm thankful that Halloween is over, but I'm so glad she was able to enjoy it.  Next year is going to be even better.

Happy Halloween everyone!!!
