More Halloween

So, on Thursday night I took Bella to the aquarium for the Trick or Treat Under the Sea thing. It was fun, but EXTREMELY busy. Really, I would have been better off just taking her during the day, since it's not like she eats the candy anyway. But, even though we had to park a mile away, and stand in line for 20 minutes to get in, and pay even though I have a membership, and stand in line for every candy station (if I paid $5 to get in, I was sure as heck getting some candy out of it! lol), and could barely walk because it was so packed, I'm glad we went. :-)






On Halloween, we stayed home to hand out candy. Bella had a great time watching the Trick or Treaters running around, and was intrigued as to why people kept coming to the door. She would stand by the door and watch me hand out candy (I tried letting her hand it out, but she just grabbed a handful and ran. haha), and as they walked away she would wave and say bye to them. So cute. There were a ton of ToTers this year too... I bought the same amount of candy this year as I did last year (I had leftovers last year), and I ran out in less than an hour! I felt bad turning away so many kids, but the only pre-packaged thing I had in the house was granola bars, and I don't think that would have been a huge hit. ;-)

And, of course, I had a cute Halloween outfit for Miss B to wear. It's a little big on her, but I found it at the thrift store on base for like $2 and from the tag it looks like some kind of handmade or boutique brand. I was super excited when I found it.
