Happy Halloween!

Audrey had a fabulous 3rd Halloween as a Bears cheerleader (with her sidekick as a football). Though not exactly surrounded by Bears fans, Audrey got lots of compliments on her costume and all thought she made an adorable cheerleader. Similar to last year, she was a little confused initially about the concept of Halloween, but by the third house, she was pulling me up to the door and was commenting on whether it looked as though someone was home at the next house. She typically gets very little candy but she does have some experience with suckers, most recently receiving one following a really rough flu shot. I'm not a big fan of suckers but of course Audrey wasn't trick-or-treating for me (!), but, she started to search thru the various candy bowls for a sucker. By the end, she was commenting to the kind person offering her some candy whether or not they were offering a sucker, and would excitedly yell back to Eric when she had successfully located a sucker. "Dadddddy! I got a sucker!!!"

She was so excited when we arrived home. And she looked so grown up sitting on the kitchen stool, thoughtfully choosing two pieces for herself, and two perfect pieces to share with Eric and I.

A Happy Halloween it was.
