Trunk or Treat

We just returned from our wards Trunk or Treat. In case anyone reading doesn't know what that is it is a Halloween activity our church puts on. It starts with games and goodies at the church and then everyone goes to the parking lot and the kids go from trunk to trunk "trunk or treating". It is such a fun activity. Last year after Halloween I bought a Lady costume from the Disney store for $3! It was such a steal & I was so excited for Kimmie to wear it. When we tried putting it on her she screamed like crazy! (her molars are coming in so she is very moody) We were able to get most of the costume on her, but not the gloves or the hat. When we arrived the gym was packed with people. Kimmie was super nervous around all the people & it was really warm so we spent time outside. Then, it was time to trunk or treat! We walked to the car and decided to try putting Kimmie's hat on. To our amazement she didn't make a sound! It didn't even bother her! Seth stayed at the car to pass out candy while I took Kimmie around. She loved it! She carried her little pumpkin bucket (which I got at goodwill for $1) and walked from trunk to trunk. She was so good & looked so cute! We quickly ran out of candy, all 6 bags, and it was getting close to bed time so we headed home. We gave Kimmie her snack and then let her have one piece of candy. She ate that chocolate so fast! 20 minutes later she was in bed for the night! It was so fun. We will take her out again on Friday, but we will probably only do a few houses.
Monday night for FHE we carved a pumpkin. I love carving pumpkins but this year our cheap carving knives broke, BOTH of them, so we had to finish with our kitchen knife! We just carved a goofy face so it wasn't anything too artistic. Let's see....what else has been going on. Sometimes while we are on walks with Kimmie we find caterpillars along the trails. Last Sunday on our walk we stopped and Seth picked one up for Kimmie to pet. At first she was scared, but after some coaxing from Seth she touched it and really liked it. She is so funny. She acts so afraid but always ends up liking things. Her newest thing she likes to do is go outside and sit on the porch. She will sit there all day if we let her! It is so cute. Sometimes she sits on the ground & puts her arms up on the porch, so cute! Here are some pictures, enjoy! Wait, one more thing. Be sure to get out and vote! You're vote matters!!!
