Halloween is a busy time when you have a 2 year old! It starts weeks ahead of time, when you start going to pumpkin patches. We went I think about three or four times. They are loads of fun and there's lots to do. Pony rides, hay rides, corn mazes, jumping in the hay piles and oh yeah, looking at pumpkins. Sabrina for some reason was fascinated by the gourds, or "other vegetables" as she called them. Here we are at Usegii Farms. Miss Pumpkin Queen 2010 herself!
This year Sabrina went as a monkey. I asked her what she wanted to be but didn't really have an opinion. So I found her a monkey costume and she was tickled pink about it. Now it's not just about dressing up on Halloween. We went to a Halloween walk the Tuesday before Halloween at Santana Row, a Halloween party the day before Halloween AND then there's actual Halloween, which we spent at Sabrina's friend CJ's house. We all had dinner beforehand and went out trick or treating. Last year Sabrina totally got into trick or treating. She didn't know what we were getting, she just liked walking up to people's doors and picking out something and putting it in her pumpkin. The upside was that I got all her candy! This year she knew EXACTLY what was inside those wrappers. To get her to go trick or treating I had to give her a lollipop which she ate while we were walking around. We walked for almost 90 minutes!! By the end we were all pretty exhausted. Jerry was a really good sport, he dressed up as Sabrina's banana. I dressed up as a cranky pregnant mommy. :)
Actually on a not related to Sabrina note Jerry and I went to an actual adults only Halloween party thrown by one of his co-workers. I was an oven with a bun in it (get it???) and Jerry was a chef! I thought it was a pretty cute idea.
And in the end, Sabrina forgot all about her candy!!! Whew! More for me :D
