Halloween is Olivia's favorite thing. When the decorations and costumes started coming out in stores back in August, she had to see them all. If we were in any store she wanted some quality Halloween time where she could push every display button, try on every wig and mask and squeal with horror/delight at the scary-ness of it all.

She started out slow by asking us to put masks on her..."but don't let me see the mask, its too scary". Then after a while WE could put the masks on.. but absolutely NO scaring her allowed. "just stand there and look at me" she would say. We probably played with every talking zombie face, rattling skeleton, and dancing vampire at Target 8,000 times.

Finally Halloween came...she was a mummy and she was darling. She got tons of candy with her auntie Anna, was the life of a Halloween party, carved a baby pumpkin, and punched a kid in the face who tried to scare her with his mask. It was wonderful.....I can't wait until next year when Lincoln can join in the fun.
