Before diving into mini-session sneak peeks, which I know quite a few clients are anxiously waiting for – I feel an obligation as a mother to blog about Halloween this year. Just a few quick words before getting to the fun stuff – the pictures! It was the first year that our two and a half year old really got into Halloween. We had been practicing for weeks the whole “trick or treat” routine, while her older brothers felt the need to teach her the whole “trick or treat, smell my feet….” song. They think it’s hilarious when she says stuff like underwear, fart, poop, you get the drift….. I forced all three to sit on the front porch for the traditional picture before the boys dashed off in a mad sprint from house to house, attempting to fill up their pillowcases with enough candy to rival the nearby Wrigley factory. That was pretty much the theme of the night, until Miss Ladybug and I retreated to the warmth of our house – where she quickly learned that it is just as fun to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters as it is to trick-or-treat! These pictures are nothing special – in fact, some of them are downright bad quality-wise, but you take what you get when you’re up against candy-hungry children!
And finally, if there ever needed to be further proof that my six year old son is indeed my child – this is what he chose to do with his Halloween candy the minute he arrived home from school today…..
Just in case it isn’t clear from the picture, he sorted all seven pounds of his candy into piles, then proceeded to make a chart recording the number of pieces in each category. Ummm….that’s normal, right???
