Halloween
Next year Eden will be old enough to tell us what she wants to be for Halloween, but this year - we took advantage and to Addison's wishes, we were all Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A rare costume choice for two little girls, but boy were they adorable! The costumes I found were so cute! While we saw many other Ninja Turtles at Halloween events, we didn't see any other girl ones. Kids would even pass us and say, "Look - a GIRL Ninja Turtle!" as though it was the coolest thing ever.
We wen to a Halloween Fest at the Elk Grove park district, and Eden had a great time in the play area. She crawled up and went down a little slide first, and never looked back. She went up and down, around and around on that little slide for a long time. It was fun seeing her toddling around and having so much fun.
One time she went down the slide a little too fast and fell forward, cutting her lip a little (I think on her tooth). I picked her up right away and sang to her and she stopped crying pretty quick. That's a great thing about Eden, she lets you know she's upset, but she gets over it pretty quick as long as we tend to her.
Trick or Treating
We were hit with a downpour on Halloween this year which was a huge downer! We were so looking forward to Eden running down the sidewalk and going up to houses. Even though she still can't eat most of the candy she'd get, I think she really would have enjoyed collecting the candy and of course the reactions she would get. (I've found that real little kids get the most candy cuz they are so cute - even though they can't even eat it!)
We braved the storm for a little while and carried her up to several houses. But we took a break to dry off and left Eden inside, it just wasn't worth and just too hard on us to have to carry her and an umbrella and candy bucket. Better luck next year!
