Trick or Treat 2008









We spent the whole day celebrating Halloween yesterday. During the day, I had punch for the kids that had ice cubes with gummi worms frozen inside. We had a trick or treat scavenger hunt with candy (in small ziploc bags) hidden throughout the yard and house. We made masks that I printed from www.nickjr.com Jaden was a Hippo; Morgan a Elephant; Gabby a Lion; Camille a Tiger; and Danny a Hampster (Nathan who is only 10 months old didn't make a mask). They, also, colored a witch and a haunted house.
When the day care kids left, we rushed to get Jaden and Morgan dressed up to go trick or treating at the mall (just like we did last year http://ilovemykids08.blogspot.com/2007/11/halloween.html ). Morgan was more coherent about what was going on, but when she got her first sucker, that is all she wanted. She continued to follow Jaden going shop to shop while she sucked her sucker. She is so tiny and cute in her cat costume... She got most of the attention from the people there. I think people just like seeing the really young kids dressed up more than they like seeing the older kids (even though Jaden is only 4, she didn't get as much "awwww, look how cute" as Morgan did). I made sure to dote on Jaden, so that she wouldn't feel left out. Stay tuned for my 2 upcoming posts... Halloween in Mexico and New Year gifts to my sponsored children's familes.
