Shannon's World

Our Halloween celebration started on Thursday night when we carved our pumpkins. Libby loves “punt-kins” and had a ball assisting in the carving. She wiped the pumpkin, used a spoon to help scrape the insides, showed Mike where to draw the eyes, nose and mouth on the pumpkin and even sat on Mike’s lap with her hand on his as he carved.

Friday’s weather was amazing – it had to be 75 degrees! I got Libby dressed in her ladybug costume (sorry about the tease below) around 5:15 and soon our corner was full of kids in costume enjoying “walking tacos” with their families. The trick or treating started a little after 6 pm. You can see a video of Libby going to her first house here. Libby quickly caught onto trick or treating and went to 6-7 houses on our corner. She had a great time giving out candy with Mike and I, too. She was a little scared of anyone with a mask but I don’t blame her! After the trick or treaters started to slow down, she enjoyed playing with sidewalk chalk on our neighbors driveway with the rest of the kids.

As you can see from the photo below, Libby started to get a little slap happy as her bed time came and went. She grabbed 6 year old Mallory’s Hanna Montana wig and was running around tossing her luscious, long blond locks!
