Halloween 2012

This week was about pumpkins and butterfly's  ; )  We waited entirely too late to carve our pumpkins but we finally got around to it Monday night.  Olivia had a ball pulling the guts out of the pumpkin.  I really thought sassy pants would not like it but she thought it was funny.

Here she is trying a bite.  lol  she thought it was nasty.  She did keep feeding it to Pebbles.  Pebbles loves eating the pumpkin guts.  She has for as long as I can remember. 

I forgot to get a picture of the finished product.  I will try to get one this weekend.  It wasn't anything fancy.  Jim normally carves them but he was being Mr. Pissy pants that night so us girls did it ourselves.  lol 


I also let Olivia paint the small pumpkin.  She totally loved doing this.  I will have to remember this for years to come.  She painted this thing for two nights and is so proud of it.  Once again, I totally forgot to take a picture of the final product : (  Boo me!

Halloween night was fun.  Olivia looked so cute and so grown up in her costume.

I let her put makeup on.  Hey why not, it's Halloween night so what better excuse.  lol

She looks so grown up here.  I hope she doesn't want to wear makeup until she is like 30!!  I feel like she looks like those Toddler and Tiara girls and I am not ready for that madness ; )

Her beautiful curled hair.  Poor girl, her hair is just like mine and will not hold a curl : (

Jim stayed at the house handing out candy while I took her around the neighborhood.  She was so cute and such a big girl.  She would say "trick or treat" and "thank you" every time.  A couple of houses gave her a "special" treat because she was so cute.  One lady had a secret stash of cute cups with good candy for just the "cute" kids.  lol  Olivia got one of those ; )  

I wanted a picture of us before we went out but Olivia would close her eyes or blink every time the flash went off.  This is the best we could get........

Tonight I stood in amazement watching Olivia.  I kept thinking how did she get to be 4 already?  I remember her first Halloween when she was 2 months old and dressed as a pink bunny!  (I loved that outfit)  I really can't comprehend how fast time goes.  It didn't seem possible that our little girl was running up to these houses and just so sweet and polite.  I absolutely love to watch the wonder and excitement in her big blue eyes!  I look forward to many more fun Halloween nights with our baby!!
