Halloween

Well, Halloween didn't turn out to be too much fun. It was freezing cold and pouring rain! I couldn't stand the thought staying in and not letting Maci wear her Halloween costume, so we decided to go to my parents house and my husband's parents. I'm sure Maci probably wouldn't have really minded if we stayed home, it was more me than her! I didn't have a child pulling on my pant leg begging frantically, "Please, Mom!" So, we bundled up and braved the weather! Everyone was so happy to see her, it definitely made it work the venture. She was such a good sport, too! She smiled pretty much the whole time and was perfectly content wearing her costume! After all of the excitement of getting treats, like a rattle from one Grandma and a sucker from the other, it was apparent that she had had enough trick-or-treating and was ready to head home because she fell asleep as soon as I buckled her in her car seat to head home. I'm sure that she will never remember that cold, rainy night of her first Halloween, but I definitely will and I'm so glad that we decided to take her out!
