Halloween

This is supposed to be about Halloween but first I must record the most amazing event from tonight. Frannie has been loving theme books right now- example we read Click Clack Boo approximately 6 times a day for the last two weeks, along with some other Halloween/pumpkin books. So I grabbed her Snow, a Dr Suess early reader book in hopes to 1-get away from Click Clack Boo, and 2-to get her on the winter/holiday mood. I got it Saturday and since then we've read it about 2-3 times a day each day. 

Tonight, as we were getting ready for bed, she told me she'd read Snow to me. IT WAS AMAZING! She turned every page and "read" from memory what she saw/remembered. Probably one of the cutest, heartwarming moments of our life together so far. This tiny little person with a cartoon voice "reading".

Ok....on to Halloween. We are lucky to even been able to go trick or treating because the Thursday before Frannie got strep. She was pretty miserable so I wasn't sure we'd make it. But by Saturday night, she was excited to put on her costume and head out. I suggested we go to the three houses next to us, but she told us "I go far" and headed down the street. We made it to three houses and she said she was done. We pointed out that she said she wanted to go far. Her reply "I did go far."

It's probably good it wasn't an epic adventure because she scored quite a bit of candy from three houses and she's quite in love with the fact she gets to eat it all. Cutest Care Bear Ever.

Also included are pics from Boo at the Zoo...a pre-Halloween  trick or treating event at the zoo. She opted for the monkey. You know to keep with a zoo theme.
