Trick or Treat!

I feel like this was Olivia's first Halloween, but it was her second! I guess because we actually did activities with her this time around. Thankfully we have our great friends so we had our First Annual Halloween Party play date with them!  We went to Stacy's house and she had a GREAT Halloween spread for us! Great food and candy!!  Of course I didn't' say no.....diet be dammed!  Olivia got to see and play with Wyatt, Kathryn, and Morgan. I think we are getting to the age where they are going to fight over toys and not want to share. Olivia gladly shared that behavior for us all when she didn't  want to share a toy with Wyatt. It wasn't even about giving the toy to Wyatt. It was just about playing with the toy together. Well, Miss Sassy didn't was to play together. She was a little bit ticked off. But it did end and our play date continued.

During the evening Olivia went Trick or Treating at two houses :-)  We just went to our neighbors. We then ended up staying at the neighbors house, sitting on the driveway handing out candy. Olivia LOVED that! She loved watching all the kids and running up and down the sidewalk! When she got to far on the sidewalk, I"d say, "Where's daddy"?, then she would turn around and run back to daddy! I wish I had more pictures of our evening.

I am also sharing picture from last year. We went over to our other great friends house. What a big difference a year makes!

Daddy and Olivia, Halloween evening!


This is the only night time picture I got :(  She loved holding her glow stick and running around watching all the trick-or-treaters!!

My partner in crime!

I realize I have been a bad blogger. Hence the reason why I only have 10 followers..and maybe only 2 or 3 actually read. But thats ok. This is mostly just for friends and family so they can see some cute pictures of Olivia and maybe read some of my thoughts. So what a great way to jump back into the blog world and share about our antics..... and breaking the law.

I needed to go to Party City to get a piece of her Halloween costume. Little Miss Sassy girl is starting to become a bit more fidgety in the shopping carts. She doesn't last long so I need to do anything and give her anything to keep her occupied in the seat so I can get shopping done.  I will usually hand her random items that look interesting to her. Sometimes that doesn't work so I always make sure to have snacks on hand. Well, one of those random items got a little bit lost in the shopping cart. She was sitting on it....out of sight, out of mind, for me and Miss Sassy.

We left Party City and headed right over to Bed Bath and Beyond. I kept her right in the same shopping cart. It was only like a 50 yard walk...why change shopping carts??   As we were looking for cabinet organizers she leans over to reach for something...and lo and behold...the random item!  Did I think about returning it? Yes I did. Did I physically return it? Nope. Please know that I do understand that this was very wrong. Had Miss Sassy and fidgety been older I could have used it as a teaching experience and told her that we didn't pay for this and we need to return it immediately! It belongs in the store unless it is paid for. But, she is not older and the only thing that she would care about is that she is hating sitting in the darn shopping cart and will scream any min! So our teaching experience was that these are sunglasses and you wear them over your eyes. :-)
