Trick or Treat

I WAS NOT SURE IF WE WOULD PARTICIPATE IN TRICK OR TREATING THIS YEAR, AS IT WAS NOT ON CHARLOTTE'S RADAR AND I WAS NOT SURE IF I WANTED TO SPEND MONEY ON COSTUMES. HOWEVER, ONCE HALLOWEEN EPISODES OF "DORA THE EXPLORER" STARTING AIRING, THE LITTLE LADY'S EXCITEMENT OF TREATS, COSTUMES AND TRICK OR TREATING GREW. WITH TWO WEEKS LEFT UNTIL THE BIG DAY, THE HUNT FOR COSTUMES BEGAN.
WE ENDED UP WITH A SWEET, JUBILANT CLOWN AND A DARLING, DOCILE LION.

HEADING TO STATE STREET FOR TRICK OR TREATING.
CHARLOTTE PRACTICES HER SMILE (?).
HITTIN' THE STREETS.



OUR VERY OWN TRAVELING CIRCUS.


JUST CLOWNIN' AROUND!

JUST WHERE DOES HE THINK HE'S GOING?

IT DOES NOT GET MUCH CUTER THAN THAT.

STATE STREET LOVE.
UNLIKE MANY OTHER CHILDREN ON THE STREET, CHARLOTTE WAS NOT AT ALL FEARFUL OF THIS LARGE COSTUMED DOG. SHE COULD NOT GET ENOUGH HIGH FIVES. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE OLD MUT ATTEMPTED TO USE A HUG TO ENCOURAGE CHARLOTTE'S DEPARTURE.

SWEET LION.
PRETTY LITTLE CLOWN.

THE LION TAMER.
(I LOVE HOW SWEET JOE WOULD NOT LOOK UP FOR THE PICTURE BECAUSE HE KNEW IT WAS SUNNY. WE SEE THIS BASHFUL GRIN OFTEN. IT CONTINUES TO MELT HEARTS.)

MY TWO CLOWNS.


EXPLORING THE CITY FROM HER FAVORITE VANTAGE POINT.


"WHERE'S CHARLOTTE?"
TOWARDS THE END OF OUR TRIP THE LITTLE LADY COULD NOT BRING HERSELF TO BUDGE AN INCH, CHOOSING INSTEAD TO LISTEN TO THE SASSY SOUNDS OF THE SAXOPHONE. SHE LOVES THE STREET PERFORMERS ON STATE STREET. I LOVE HOW JEFF IS LOOKING AT ME FROM AFAR FOR SUGGESTIONS
ON HOW TO GET HER MOVING. QUITE SATISFIED WITH HER "SUCK-IT."
THIS WAS THE FIRST PIECE OF CANDY SHE SCORED; SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN CONTENT TO STOP AFTER RECEIVING THIS FAVORITE SWEET TREAT.

OCTOBER 31, 2010
WE JOINED FRIENDS FOR A NIGHT A TRICK OR TREATING. CHARLOTTE WAS VERY ENGAGED IN THE ENTIRE PROCESS THIS YEAR. FROM CARRYING HER PUMPKIN BUCKET TO RINGING THE DOORBELL, SHE BROUGHT A LOT OF SPIRIT AND ENERGY TO OUR NIGHT. OUR FAVORITE MOMENTS CAME WHEN SHE WOULD LEAVE A DOORSTEP AND CHEERFULLY YELL OUT "HAPPY HALLOWEEN MOMMY AND DADDY!!!"

JOE WATCHED ALL OF THE EXCITEMENT UNFOLD, WHILE FINDING THE EVENING'S TEMPERATURES A TAD CHILLY.

WE HOPE YOU HAD A SAFE AND MEMORABLE NIGHT OF TRICK OR TREATING!
