Halloween

Halloween seemed like a very long holiday this year!  We had lots of things to do and it was spread out over the whole weekend.  The Tuesday night before day care had a family night where the kids dressed up and then each classroom had different stuff to do.  Her room was the 'haunted house'.  Which she would normally be terrified of, but they got to help set it up during the day, so she was okay with it.  Friday Jocelyn had a party at day care.  She insisted on dressing up as Elmo again this  year, even though I had bought her a cute monkey costume already. 
 She had fun at the party - they went trick-or-treating to each classroom and then had a party back in their room.
 Friday afternoon the downtown business do trick-or-treating.  We went, but it will probably be the last year we go.  It's always so crowded, and really, who needs more candy?  Here she is with her first piece of gum!



 Monday I convinced her to wear the Monkey costume.  It's so nice and warm, and so cute!  We took her trick-or-treating for the first time, just up and down the block.  Neither of us love to do it, and she didn't really care either.  She had way more fun passing out candy to the kids at our house.

 This is the grossest, scariest mask.  We've had it forever, my parents got it years ago.  It took a lot of convincing for Jocelyn to even sit by him for this picture!


 Going out with Ama and Mommy.  At one house, she knocked, said trick-or-treat, then walked away without getting candy!
 Knocking on our door for the kids to come and get candy.
