Trick or Treat

The day before halloween, my dad (grandpa) brought Avery a pumpkin, which had Elmo's face carved into it. Avery called it her "elmo pumpkin". It was a huge hit with her.
On Halloween, Avery went to school dressed up as a koala, though everyone thought she was a mouse. I made it to her school just in time to catch the halloween parade. When I got there, Avery had a brownie in one hand and two cookies in the other. I triedto guide her as we walked with the other kids in the parade but she was so distracted by her food she just kept bumping into things and walking in the wrong direction. Kids
were crying, there was food everywhere...it was
great fun.
Later that night, we went to the Harvest Festival at our church. Avery took her cute trick or treat bag made by our friend Kelci, and walked around to all the classrooms collecting candy. She said trick or treat and then thank you to every person that handed her candy! Her bag was quite full at the end so it was dragging along the ground as she would not let daddy or mommy help her. Her favorite words as of late are "Avery do it".
We had a fair amount of "trick or treater reaters", as Avery would say, come to our door so we enjoyed passing out all of our candy. Overall, the day was fun!
