Halloween/Fall 2011 has been quite uneventful for the Johnson household. We didn't carve a pumpkin ( I know, mother of the year!), which also means that we didn't go to a pumpkin patch either! So needless to say, I was pretty intent on Blakeley, Justin, and I going trick-or-treating as a family. (Justin thought it was going to be a BUST!) But boy, was he wrong! I don't know if I am more excited to say that the night was a success or that Justin was wrong, and he actually had to admit to me that I was RIGHT!
Here is how our night went. Blakeley was a cute little ladybug or "Blakeley Bug". We of course waited until we saw others trick-or-treating first before we left the house. As soon as we open the door, she darted for the street - she was FREE!
We went to our next door neighbor who had some scary ghosts outside the house, and someone wasn't too sure about going any further....
So, she ran back home to get Daddy....
And then, we tried again. What was different about the second try is that Blakeley had little kids to follow. She LOVES to follow kids around, anywhere! :)
Of course, we had to stop and take some pics (this was high on my list, b/c I am NEVER in the pictures with Blakeley b/c I am always taking the pictures).
We successfully walked to a few more houses (though we didn't hold hands the whole time like I wanted).
Blakeley was a pro at trick-or-treating. She just went with the other kids and walked right up to the peoples houses.
But don't worry, I made sure to run and catch up to help her pick out appropriate candy.
Blakeley loved meeting all of our neighbors as well!!
It was a great night!! My little bug is growing up! I'm so thrilled with all our new experiences, but I wish everything could slow down!
Happy Halloween!
