Halloween 2009

This year Kaylene was (as Kaylene puts it) a "Bumble Bee Princess". Her cousin Amanda was nice enough to give her this costume from her last Halloween. Hours before trick or treating, I asked Kaylene "are you ready for your Halloween costume?" and immediately she said "no costume, no costume". However as soon as she saw WHAT a costume really is, she was super super excited and couldn't wait to get it on. I told her it was a Bumble Bee costume and she replied, "I'm a Bumble Bee Princess" and continued to repeat those words about a hundred more times throughout the night. Later, I told her it was time to go trick or treating with her friends and she was a little worried at first. Finally after about the 3rd house, she got really overjoyed and ran to each house, saying over and over "next house, next house"! She was also very courteous at each house, with a "trick or treat", then a "thank you", then a "happy halloween", like clock work, it was very cute. After we toured the neighborhood and asked her if she was ready to go home, she got all emotional and said "no, no... next house, next house". So we continued on for another row of houses. I knew she was tired when she wouldn't walk anymore and wanted me to hold her. This year she really got into it and totally enjoyed herself and that night she slept like a rock. Jen was especially happy to be a part of this years trick or treating, as she was put up in a hospital bed last year, crying that she couldn't be there with her family. I too was very happy that Jen was able to be with us this year! Make sure to check out the pics, video coming later.
