Have I mentioned this is my favorite time of year? We had a blast carving pumpkins this year and really got into it. I picked up a book of pumpkin patterns and Dave and I both decided to take on the challenge. Avery wasn't so sure about sticking her hand into the inside of the slimy pumpkin. She was skeptical at first but eventually warmed up, kind of. We were amazed how good the pumpkins looked once they were lit up.
The squadron had a little party and the kids went trick-or-treating around all the offices. Avery was cracking me up, literally. She was just so stinking cute walking around in her bumble bee costume with the pumpkin pail dangling from her arm, I couldn't help but giggle. There was a swarm of kids and trying to keep a 16 month old focused in all the commotion was like herding kittens! When she finally did get the the pot of treats she took her time picking out exactly the right piece of candy. Then once I thought she was through I'd try to coax her on to the next room, thinking she was still following behind. I'd look over my shoulder and discover that she had gone back for more. So I'd patiently watch from afar and sure enough once she realized I wasn't there she'd start shouting "Mama! Mama!"
