Halloween 2008

This was our first Halloween. And by our I mean Pumpkin and I. For religious reasons we didn't celebrate Halloween or Santa Clause. JA wanted to take Pumpkin out and I decided the best thing was to dress her up as Dora. In other words, not spend a dime on a costume since after all I know she will not wear it. She refuses to wear anything that doesn't look or feel like regular clothes. So after our Backpack mission Super Dad use his engineering skills to make the damn thing wearable. He drilled holes, use screws and cut part of the top part. But in the end? A working Backpack!



To her she was just having a regular day but had a new toy. Since we're new in the neighborhood I had no idea if they did something or not. I asked a neighbor and she said that kids should be passing by at any moment. Next thing we know 3 kids with their parents stop by and we figured the best thing to do was tag along. And that we did! Pumpkin didn't know what was happening, but at the 4th house she just walked up and opened her bag. It got pretty heavy but she refused to let us help her.



It was a very fun night and I am glad that I get the opportunity to experience it with my daughter. Can't wait for next year, when she'll probably say what she wants her costume to be and I won't get to be as cheap creative as this year.
