Halloween

I apologize for not posting last week. This new job is a lot more demanding than I anticipated. It is taking up so much of my time. I am trying to enjoy every minute I get to see Ashlyn, so blogging was not a priority last week. I am going to try to do it every week still.

Ashlyn had a WONDERFUL first Halloween. This week we baked cupcakes and even carved a pumpkin. She was not into the pumpkin too much. I gave her some of the "guts" to play with, but she was not all that entertained about them. She did like the finished pumpkin.

On Friday, I left school right when the bell rang. I met my Mom and Ashlyn at my house. We grabbed her costume and headed for Walmart. We picked up Ashlyn's Auntie on the way. We started at Walmart at 4:00 pm. She really liked Trick or Treating at Walmart. They had different candy stations all throughout the store. She loved holding her treat basket. She wanted to eat the candy. After Walmart, we headed to Joey's work. We brought her inside so we could show her off to all of his coworkers. They just thought she was the cutest thing. We stopped at my sister's house and had a quick dinner. We then went Trick or Treating around Katy's neighborhood. She lives in a great neighborhood. Most of the houses were decorated and had went all out. Ashlyn got lots of goodies. Next, we went to an Assisted Living Community for their Halloween festivities. They had cupcakes and little bags of candy for the kids. There were lots of really nice people there. There were a few other babies there. There was one boy a little older than Ashlyn dressed like an ape. He walked over to her and gave her a hug. He then grabbed her nose. It was too cute. I wish we would've had the camera with us. By this point Ashlyn was beat! She then went home and went to bed. We thought her first Halloween was a success!!!
