As I sat down to write this post it occurred to me that I never did a Halloween post last year. WHAT?! It's not a secret that Halloween is my favorite holiday. I mean I love any cause for celebration. Birthdays, anniversaries, allllll the holidays. And Christmas is an extremely close second, but Halloween just has my heart. So how I forgot to post my first baby's first Halloween is sort of mind boggling. But I'll just chalk it up to the whole new mama thing, toss some throw back photos in here and move on.
I made a list of all the things I wanted to do with Fallon before the big day this year. So thank goodness Halloween is literally the last day of the month. We shopped for all the pumpkins and all the mums and all the decorations. Hit two different pumpkin patches, baked pumpkin things, read spooky stories and watched Hocus Pocus on repeat. We wore Halloween jams + socks, all the festive clothes, kitty ears and witch hats. And then the morning of the 31st my sweet little girl tossed her Halloween breakfast right at me and all over the kitchen. She threw tantrums all day long, fought naps and made messes like only a little monster disguised as a toddler could. I text Chris and told him he was coming home to Nightmare on Our Street.
But we managed to squeeze in one kitty costume photo complete with face paint, get the candy ready and head out to trick-or-treat. And guess what? That Halloween magic finally happened. We watched our cute little kitty walk from house to house with her bucket charming all the neighbors with her little wave and "hi" and picking out pieces of candy (for mommy and daddy). She even helped pass out treats at our house. The night ended watching Hocus Pocus one more time in Halloween jams and snuggling in the way only sweet little kitties do and she went right to sleep, all traces of that little monster vanished.
