Today is Mabel's first Halloween and we are celebrating by ... doing nothing. Actually, that's not entirely true; at her day care they had Farm Day this week and all the kiddos got a pumpkin. Here is Mabel's.
Also, Mabel has worn a nice assortment of seasonally festive socks this week in anticipation of Halloween: Tuesday she sported the snazzy black cat socks our neighbor Robin gave her, and yesterday it was the orange-and-green jack-o-lantern socks that came from (I think) Tori.
See above - I still can't get the pictures to line up with the words.
Tonight we're going to turn off our porch light and not hand out candy, for the first time ever, because the Nugget goes to bed early and all that knocking and hooting and hollering would likely wake her up, and we don't want that. Unfortunately the room we typically hang out in after she goes to bed is clearly visible from our porch, so we are going to squirrel ourselves away somewhere else in the house. Although I am bummed we won't see all of our neighborhood kiddos in their costumes, Mabel's early bed time is sparing us from eating 54 mini Snickers as we wait for the next round of goblins to appear.

I will still be eating the 54 not so mini snickers that I traditionally eat, in fact I may eat more to help spur greater economic growth....
