This is a long post kids. So grab your favorite juice box, put your feet up, and relax for a bit. In addition, due to the length and some technical difficulties, I will not have ACTUAL trick-or-treating photos in this post. But don't you worry,I'll get them.
I should back up a bit though because before I discuss the geniusness behind Halloween, I must tell you all the other exciting things I did this month. Mommy and Daddy surprised me with a special trip that was all about ME. They said it was because I'm going to be a big sister so it was a special trip I got to do alone with them before my little brother comes. But I'm going to ignore the little BOTHER (can't take the credit, it's from Olivia) part and just say it was a special trip I got to do with Mommy and Daddy! So first we went to Richmond where we stayed with my Uncle Charlie and Uncle Denny. While we were there we went to a real live ROCK concert. You thought Elmo was crazy? Well hang on to your pull ups Laurelbug fans, cause this was complete mayhem. There were lights sabers, street vendors with paraphernalia, and toddlers dancing in the aisles. What was this you might ask? Justin Bieber? Bigger. Justin Timberlake? BIGGER. YO GABBA GABBA. That's what. It was quite a show. It took me a bit to warm up to all of it, but once I snacked on some popcorn and the balloons started flowing I was dancing in the aisle like everyone else.
After that excitement we spent the night at Uncle Charlie's and Uncle Denis' and woke up the next morning to head to Busch Gardens. I got to ride rides and see Elmo and eat FAIR food! And Daddy got to go on the rides with me AND he went on lots of scary roller coasters! And Mommy got to watch ALL the fun we had! Apparently, there isn't a lot a mommy can do when she's carrying a baby brother around. You know what I think about that? Shoulda just left it at the one kid you got! Why mess with a good thing, right?
After all that fun, we came home and awaited Halloween. Which, as I mentioned, is just about the best holiday ever. Leading up to Halloween we had all sorts of fall celebrations and hayrides. I basically dressed up as Dorothy everyday for the month of October. It may have been the best month of my life. Then when it was ACTUALLY Halloween I went trick or treating with my friends. At first, we were all a little timid about going up to strangers and saying "trick-or-treat." But I'll tell you what, we got over that REAL fast. Once we discovered the candy loot we could get all by saying that phrase and looking cute, we were planning our attack strategies. Never underestimate the brains of a toddler. We're cute and we know it.
Hope you enjoy my pics. It might be a little while until my next post because apparently this little bother I've been hearing so much about is actually coming soon. I'm going to be pretty busy helping out. I promised Mommy I would help her feed him, and wash him, and play with him, and put him night-night. I've also volunteered to take him home... you know, to HIS house. She said something about him living here, but I think she's confused. We'll work it out and I'll be sure to take some pics of him for the blog before dropping him off at his real house. Until next time, peace out girl scouts.
