It's been a busy October, full of trips to the zoo and the petting farm, and I can't believe it's only a few hours away from being over. Bridget's come down with a coughing, snotty-nosed cold, so we're only going to take her out for about half an hour tonight and then hand out candy. Of course, this plan came about only this morning (two weeks after I had asked Al if I should buy candy and he said no), so instead of contaminating the nursery with Bridget's cold, we headed off to Target while Al went to church. You'd expect the leftover candy to be on clearance at this point (especially since they've had Christmas decorations up for two or three weeks), but no. Full price. Guess those discounts don't go up until tomorrow.
I'm getting in on a lot of firsts with Bridget. Last year marked the first year we (yest, my first too) ever handed out candy for Halloween, and this year was our first carving pumpkins (we did three Thursday, and Mya ate one of them yesterday). Bridget wanted to play under the sheet we put on the floor, wouldn't touch the pumpkin guts with her hands, and got upset when her spoon wouldn't carve holes in her pumpkin the way our knives did in ours. It's also my and Bridget's first year trick or treating (I was deprived as a child ;)). I have to admit that I'm a little nervous about it—I'm not sure what I'm doing! :) Luckily, though, I've got a cute little scarecrow (once again, I made her costume) that should capture all of the attention and calm my nerves. Here's to hoping she has fun!
