Halloween

I am well aware that as Reegan approaches 3 years old, she is going to start having memories that hopefully she will remember forever.  So, I am currently using any excuse I can find to make great memories.  I love seeing the excitment on her face when we tell her what the plan is for the "special activity".  I love the wide-eyed smirk she makes when the words: craft, paint, or pretty picture are used.  

 Last year we used markers on the pumpkin, but this year we decided to paint.  Finger paint that is.

 We used tape on the pumpkin to make a face and then had Reegan paint all over it.  When the paint was dry we removed the tape to show off the face.  I think it turned out so cute!

 It started getting a little cold, so pumpkin number 2 was decorated with a paint brush and paint.  I love making mental memories but I don't love visual reminders of "that one time I was crazy and let the kid use her body to paint, indoors..."  So, we kept it a little neater this round.

 How about them Wildcats, huh?

 Our amazing daycare does a parade on Halloween every year for the parents.  The kids get their costumes on and show off.  This shy girl was not very happy that I wouldn't walk with her. 

 This man didn't care about the parade.

 All better, she realized this was fun!

 Still didn't care and thought the party was a little boring.  He would rather be sucking on his fists and drooling, because that's all he does these days. 

 The princess and the frog! 

 Trick-or-treat.  Last year we went to a couple houses on our street but this year we did the real thing.  Reegan loved it and did such a good job saying "trick or treat" and "thank you".  We had to end the night a few houses early because her bucket was heavy and almost full! 

 Checking out her loot.  Luckily for me, this little one likes sharing with her mama!
