BOO!!!!

Happy Halloween! We have had a whirlwind week and Erin has enjoyed many parties this week! She had a party at school, daycare, and at Sparks! Friday she and I went to the library for scary stories and a Halloween craft! We then spent the day cleaning the house before we headed out trick or treating!!

Erin and I met up with some of her buddies at the community centre for the volunteer firefighter's Halloween party. The girls rammed around squealing and having a ball. They even managed to get a hot dog into themselves!!! After the party, Erin and her pal Kacey and her mom and I went out trick or treating through Merrickville. We did a few blocks and the girls were and had a riot! All afternoon Erin made and decorated paper pumpkins to give out to everyone who gave her candy. Whenever I get frustrated with her, all I have to do is look at when she does something special like this and it warms my heart!! She is really sweet! People were really surprised!

We walked through Merrickville for about one hour then we said our goodbyes and Erin and I headed off to see Aunt Rita and Aunt Eleanor before heading to the neighbours' and home. My heavens did Erin ever get a lot of candy! She was just tickled!! And..... did she ever crash! We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful evening for a walk and the fresh air, walk, and the excitement were just enough to push her over the edge of exhaustion once we got home!
