trick or treat recap

i know halloween is so last week already, but kevin's phone pics are just too awesome not to share. violet was wary of the whole trick-or-treating racket. she usually has big smiles for our nice neighbors dave and roberta, but she wasn't so sure about them hawking their wares.



kevin and i tried to coach her to say trick or treat; she said, "that's-a spicy meatball-a!"



despite her suspicions, she ultimately couldn't resist the lure of the candy grab (although as kevin reminded me, this is actually a picture of her selecting a piece of candy and then offering it back to the giver. awww).



her first trick-or-treat stash included classics like dots and red vines, along with a leaf that she found on the ground.



her favorite item was the giant carnival lollipop



that she eagerly dropped on the floor and watched shatter into a dozen pieces. UH OH.

i know that halloween with a baby is one of those "more for the parents" events, but i can genuinely say that we all really had fun. well, we humans anyway.



and ever since, violet has been obsessed with her bag of candy, not to mention our giant bags of leftovers that seriously need to be rehomed.





needless to say the dogs have been obsessed with her.



we explained that dogs can't eat chocolate, so violet tried to make them a platter of their own treats.







needless to say the dogs are still obsessed with her.
