Hallowe’en

We had lots of fun this hallowe’en, well at least I did. We got two pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and this year Megan was old enough to help us carve the pumpkins. Unfortunately, she thought the pumpkin guts (as Nora says) were too dirty to touch, so she let us do the whole thing.

There may have been some bribery to get this photo taken with the bunny ears on...

We went trick-or-treating in Yaletown and saw tons of trick-or-treaters. Are there really that many kids who live downtown?! Megan wasn’t quite into the trick-or-treating this year, nor did she want to wear her bunny ears to complete her bunny costume. Luckily, both Owen and Nora helped get Megan some treats in her trick-or-treat bag.

This year, Megan willingly asked for a piece of chocolate and even had her first taste of rice krispie squares! Monica laughed when I was so excited for her to eat a rice krispie square since most parents don’t want to encourage their kids to eat sweets. But those of you who know Megan know that she’s not into sweets and has never wanted to try it. The fact that she was actually trying something she normally wouldn’t eat is HUGE. It doesn’t matter if it was sweets! Maybe there will come a time when she’ll try eating a piece of fruit again .
