This is the year of some really fun firsts for Kate. It is definitely the first year she has shown any interest in Halloween and her first time to say, "Trick or treat!" We practiced all afternoon before going out for a little trick or treating. One thing Kate wasn't interested in this year was a costume!! The closest I could get was letting her wear her new MSU cheerleader suit. She loves doing cheers in the bathtub and her favorite is "We've got some dogs up in here, woof! woof!" So, we got her dressed and tried very unsuccessfully to take her picture in the backyard. No good shots. Last year I bought an SLR camera that was fast enough to catch her, but this year, I needed a telephoto lens because if I get too close with the camera, she turns away or runs. I'll put that on my birthday list!!
We stopped by Scott's Aunt Betty's house first. She always gives Kate the sweetest happies! Then we went to Ashton Park to have a little fun with Kate's favorite big girl, Perry Powell. Attached is a shot of her first solo trick or treat. She loved this guys house. In fact, she walked around him at the front door and went right into his house!! That must have been her version of a trick!! She was on a roll and doing great until someone had a barking dog at the front door and then it was all over for her. We went back to the Powell's for snacks. Kate had more fun sitting in a chair eating cupcakes than she did all night. Life is good.
