Halloween and more

Kira has really gotten into Halloween this year. She has a book about Halloween at Grandma and Grandpa's house from which she has learned sounds made by ghosts, monsters, bats, witches, pumpkins, and skeletons. Kira has dressed up and has either gone trick-or-treating, to a Halloween party, or both each of the last three days. She's pretty much had the time of her life.

Trick-or-treating was fun. Apparently, if you are tiny and cute, people will hold the bowl down for you and let you move candy from their big bowl to your treat bag pretty much indefinitely. We couldn't have hit up more than seven houses, but she has more, better loot than I used to get in two hours of busting my behind to hit the whole neighborhood. Little do those generous folks know that it was all a ruse to get candy for Jared. Kira doesn't eat candy, ha!

Sitting next to her pumpkin, getting ready to go trick-or-treating for the first time in her life. We intended to put a face on the pumpkin, but Kira kept putting the face parts on the pumpkin, so we kept hammering them in place for her.
