Halloween at 3

Our first stop...Matt's house...

He bought special treats for his little sister...she was thrilled.


After we left Matt's house, we went to Coeur d'Alene High School to watch a final girls volleyball game. We watched four this weekend. They were so exciting! St Maries Lumber Jacks, which is why we were there, won state. All our friends from St Maries were up as well. It was a great time!
Halloween and Trick-or-Treating was espeically fun this year with Taylor. As we walked up to each house, Taylor would say, "This is a beautiful house." When we would leave she would say, "Come on...lets go trick-or-treating again." At each house, Taylor confidently knocked on the door and proudly stood with her two little hands tightly grasping the handle of her pumpkin candy bucket. She held it high and waited patiently...
She would say, "Now remember, when the door opens, say trick-or-treat." She would say trick-or-treat and wish the people Happy Halloween and say thank you.
One of our neighbor's said to Taylor, "Oh, little bee, you scared me. Don't sting me." As we were walking away Taylor said, "I'm not scary. I'm a nice bee. I wouldn't sting. I'm not just any old bumble bee."
At another house, as the door opened, a scary face on the door started making noises, as the eyes glowed red. Taylor could hardly say trick-or-treat as she watched the face. The friendly lady that opened the door said, "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Taylor said, "That's okay." And thanked her for the candy. As we were leaving Taylor talked about the scary face and made her own scary Halloween noises. She is pretty brave and likes some of the scary monsters and witches we have seen around town this season.
It was a little chilly outside. Taylor walked most of the way, but after awhile she asked her daddy to carry her and she said, "Okay, lets go home now and I can dump out all my candy." She was very content and we all had a wonderful Halloween.
