Halloween: She Got It!

The holiday season is officially underway and I'm happy to announce that Bridget "got it"! From carving our pumpking, to trick-or-treating, to It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown...Bridget loved it all!

We carved our Pumpkin on Friday and Bridget alternated between "helping" us carve to watching Charlie Brown. We recorded it from TV earlier in the week, and I think we've watched it everyday since then! The pumpkin transformed into a spooky Jack-O-Lantern much to Bridget's delight. She seemed to like all the spooky and creepy Halloween decorations the best!

She didn't even mind to ooey-gooey inside of the pumpkin

On Saturday our ladybug was ready for treats! My parents and our good friends, the Baileys, came over to watch the FL/GA game (FL won!) and celebrate Halloween. Bridget was a little hesitant at first, but after about 4 houses, she got exactly what was going on! She started to walk up to the houses all by herself, say her jumbled little version of "Trick or Treat!", and then waited for the good stuff. Most houses held out the bowl for her to pick from which she loved. M&M's were the most popular treat much to her delight. We're still working on saying "Thank You", but she had the "Bye-Bye" part down pat! She slugged her trick or treat bag over her shoulder and moved on the next house.

There must have been 100 or so kids just on our street trick-or-treating. Bridget loved seeing the other kids in their costumes and looked like such a big girl trying to be just like them! By the end of the street our ladybug was getting tired and sweaty, so she opted for the wagon on our way home.

This morning when I asked what she got when she said "Trick or Treat" she told me, "M&M's!"

Coolest house in the neighborhood...they had Charlie Brown playing on their garage! Between that and the M&M's, Bridget was in heaven!
