Happy Halloween!!!!

Last night, Samantha ventured out for her first official Halloween! Yes, yes, I know technically her first Halloween was last year (and she made the cutest darn elephant!) but this was the first year she was physically able to go trick or treating!

Mother Nature certainly didn't make the decision easy though. With rain and crazy winds all day, I was beginning to think Samantha was going to stay home with me and help hand out candy to those brave souls who did venture out. But by trick or treat time the winds died down and the rain let up! So...we put on our rain boots and ventured out!

Though she was dressed as an owl, I think she may have qualified as a duck last night with all her rain gear on! But, she had SO much fun! I am so glad I made the decision to bring her out at the last minute.

At first she was a little timid, so we started off with some friendly neighbours that she knew and then it was impossible to get her to stay still! She was running everywhere...down the driveways, up to the doors, across the yards!

The cutest part was that when someone would try and put candy into her bucket, she would slowly move the bucket away from the person, as if they may take it from her. She wouldn't even let me carry it. That bucket had an ironclad grasp on it the whole time!

By the end, it was pretty dark and the rain was starting to pick up, so we ventured home to help hand out the rest of the candy at our house! Or maybe eat a few first...

Hoping everyone had a Happy Halloween! From my family to yours!
