Happy Halloween

Tess and I took Alicia out trick-or-treating last night after work. Yesterday was a big day at the daycare. It was Friday, so that means "movie day". They watch a Dora video at the very end of the day. It was also one of her classmates' birthday. So they had a little party. And, of course, it was Halloween, so they did some preliminary trick-or-treating and fun semi-spooky activities (compatible with 3-4 year old tolerance).

Tess and I met at the daycare at 5:45 and left her car there. It's so nice that she's got her own wheels now. It saves me a lot of time and gas.

We drove to a nearby Eagle River neighborhood and started our trick-or-treat adventure just as the sun was setting over the Cook Inlet and Sleeping Lady (aka Mt. Susitna). I had Alicia's purple kitty costume with me. So she changed in the van.

We went to several houses in neighborhoods where we knew a few people. Then we went to the Chugiak Senior Center which was hosting some indoor trick-or-treating and games from 6-8pm. There were lots of people there. It was nice because you could actually see what kids were wearing since the lights were on.

We made our final stop at our neighbors' house across the street. Alicia was their first trick-or-treater ever. So they dumped their whole candy bowl into her little bucket. Happy Halloween!
