Ok, so Ava had the hardest time deciding what she wanted to be this Halloween. It it so funny being in the "mom" position now and trying to reason with my little girl by picking something that she wants to be, but also something that is not going to cost me too much! It makes me think back to when I was a young and indecisive kid myself and would battle with my own mom on choosing the "perfect" Halloween costume... And I've gotta tell ya, I don't know how that woman ever kept sane during these times of the year! Everyday Ava would change her mind about what she wanted to be! So finally, I just went out and bought her a little witch costume. Nothing fancy, typical hat and broom. Well, the only way that Ava agreed to wear this costume is because I told her that she could paint her whole face green! And she was stoked! It was all she'd talked about for the whole month of October! So finally, it's Halloween night, and we are getting her costume on, and that crazy little girl just absolutely REFUSES to paint her face green! haha... It's so funny how fast their minds can change. Silly girl. Oh well... Can't wait to do it all over again next year! I'm sure it just gets better as they get older! :)
Anyways, as for our festivities, this Halloween we were invited to a party at my cousin, Michelle Speaker's house. So we bbq'd hot dogs and hamburgers and enjoyed spending time with some family that we don't get to see often enough, and then we all went trick-or-treating around their neighborhood as a big group! I've never been trick-or-treating in a big group like that before, and it was SO much more fun! I think we will try and do that for all of our many Halloweens to come... It just makes the whole experience a lot more fun when you've got friends to have fun with! The kids loved it because... well, I guess it's a given why the kids loved it... haha. Cuz it's trick-or-treating! But best of all, it was much more enjoyable for us adults because we got to talk and play and have fun trick-or-treating too! Anyways, it was a great time!
