we spent last night doing the usual halloween preparations/tradions: carving pumpkins, roasting pumpkin seeds and watching The Great Pumpkin. gotta love all that. japper was in bed already because he was (pick one) a.) fighting a cold, b.)crabby because mama and papa left and now he wasn't being held every second and, c.) just plain tired. so, he will join the traditions next year. annie loved watching daddy and i carve the pumpkins for her, and even though she started the process of "gutting" it, she was not such a huge fan of that part. she did, however, LOVE The Great Pumpkin, so that was a hit. once we got finished with the carving we took the jack-o-lanterns outside and lit them up and checked out the spookiness and i think we did good, because annie took one look and said "let's go inside now!"
we are hoping to get some trick-or-treating in tonight, but not sure if annie is actually going to follow through with it. she talks like she wants to do it and wants to "ring a doorbell and scare the people and say thank you", but we shall see. she's been known to get stage fright, however her want for the candy may push her through the performance anxiety. girl loooves some candy.
i will get some pictures up later of the costumes once the festivities commence and we get them in to them. hopefully annie will cooperate since i have a wig for her to wear. maybe just for a picture. stay tuned for the costume show!
