This week was definitely a super exciting one! First came Halloween!!! Although I have been trick or treating on Halloween before, it didn't really count because I didn't do it on my own. This Halloween, Mommy let me go to the houses on my own and either get the candy out of the bowls sitting on the porches or knock on the doors and say trick or treat. The first couple of houses I got a little confused because I thought I had to go inside to get the candy. After a few houses I got the hang of it and I liked talking to the people that I met at the door. Everyone that saw me loved my owl costume and many people wanted me to hoot like an owl. Sometimes they were successful, others not so much. For the most part I was a good trick or treater, but there were a couple of houses that I couldn't handle on my own because they were too scary or there were too many other kids there. Some of the statues that people had at their houses were scary. They weren't the friendly kind that I like to see during the my walks. I did, however enjoy going to the houses that had the big spiders on them. Adam was a good sport and he came along for the ride. I hope I get to eat most of the candy he put in his bag, if Daddy doesn't eat it all himself first.
We also got to put candles in the pumpkin that I helped Mommy clean and carve. She gave me a choice for a scary pumpkin or a silly pumpkin. I obviously chose a silly pumpkin and I think she did a great job. I got to color the pumpkin's hair adding to his silliness. Mommy was nice enough to put eyebrows on because I insisted that my pumpkin have eyebrows!
To add to the craziness of the week, I got some packages in the mail with some great gifts inside them! Candy, snacks, books, games - all sorts of great stuff that I love!
Another exciting thing that happened this weekend was I got a new big bed! Daddy kept feeling the walls and talking about how cold they were so they decided that it was time for me to get away from the walls and into a nice big bed. I have no problem with that. I love my bed! Now all my friends have a place to sleep and I don't have to share my pillow with them anymore. I'm glad it got really cold outside because it worked in my favor!
Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy went to an out of town wedding, so Mimi and Papa came to stay with Adam and me! I had so much fun with them. We did tons of puzzles, colored with crayons (Papa's Zoo had a lot of interesting animals in it!) and we played constantly! It was nice to spend time with them although I will say I was very excited when Mommy and Daddy came home. It was the first time ever that both Mommy and Daddy were gone overnight!
