The Untraditional Halloween for 2007




I don't know how many know this but I am in the process of getting my master's in administration. So, because of that I have classes every Wednesday night from 4 to about 8:30. Well, since this year Halloween fell on a Wednesday I had to miss Eva's first actual Halloween. However, because of that we made sure that the entire month of October was filled with Harvest /Halloween like activities so I wouldn't feel so left out on Halloween. Eva went trick or treating with her dad and abuelito this year. Matthew said she was scared by the whole process. In fact, Matthew had to hold her the entire time they knocked on a couple of my parent's neighbor's houses. But, what she did love was the candy. Matthew gave her a cherry sucker and she would not let that thing go. He said it had dog hair on it, was wiped on many couches and all over her face but she wouldn't let go of her sucker. We now have to hide any and all traces of candy we have in our house because she tells us that she wants it. She is getting smarter by the minute, but I will leave that for another post. These pictures are from a harvest festival that we went to at Portland Community College. It was fun and she was able to wear her little costume. The only thing that was scary was the attacking pigs! There was a petting zoo and the pig scared the bageebers(sp?) out of her.

I was hoping we would get to see some pictures of the pink leopard. She's so cute. Sorry you had to miss out on the trick-or-treating. Maybe next year.

Verenice... i Totally missed out on Halloween this year too (late classes on Wednesdays). Way to think around the problem though. I just bought a bunch of candy and ate it.

Meg was scared of the trick-or-treaters too. She started screaming as soon as I took her out the front door. All the parents walking around the neighborhood looked at me like I was torturing her, so I took her back inside. Next time I'll try the lollipop trick.

Eva is so beautiful! I'm glad you guys were able to kind of work around your schedule. Good for you for getting your masters, Verenice. That is wonderful! Soon it will be over and so worth it in the end. Take care.
