Credits: I totally cheated today (this mama is TIRED) and used a quickpage by Scrap By Color.
I’m not sure whether it is a sign of brilliance or greed, but it only took the Little Lady about 2 minutes to figure out that the whole point of October 31st was to grab candy.
Yes, by our second stop, she was holding out her pudgy fingers in “less than patient” anticipation of the sweet goodness, and heaven forbid that the Candy Giver attempt to put the treats in her bag. Little Miss Independent wanted to do it BY HERSELF!!!
I think I had more fun tonight, in my role as the Mama, than the kids did trick-or-treating. My nephew went with us . . .actually, I think the reverse is the truth. The Little Lady and I tagged along with my nephew and sister (we are the visiting pair, after all, here in Oklahoma). I was in charge of escorting our Batman and our little Lamb from house to house, reminding the shy Batman to say “Trick or Treat” and “Thank You” and reminding the Greedy Lamb that she only got one treat per house.
She never got the Trick or Treat phrase down, but she could”Baa” on cue. Which, for the little old ladies and gents grinning at their doors, was enough.
Oh, and the interesting expression on the Little Lady’s face? Papa was holding a piece of candy in an effort to get her to look at the camera. It worked.
