Halloween 2010 Day 2

Second Day of Halloween 2010 was more fun as Andrea was able to meet The Backyardigans. The mall was full of people. Kids can go trick or treat in every store but we didn't do that because we don't want anymore candies (lol). We brought Andrea to the toy store again and she had a blast with the toys especially the remote control car. Well, we decided to buy her one (hahaha suckers!)

Here's a collage of what our second day of Halloween! Andrea was dressed as Princess!

Halloween at the Mall

As I have mentioned, we didn't continue trick or treating instead we went to the mall. It was already chilly so I had to put an undershirt long sleeves for Andrea's costume. Despite the fact that it was chilly, it didn't stop Andrea from having a great time.

She counted all the lamp posts (that has series lights on them) and played with the animals near the food court.


Mall was definitely more fun for Andrea... and for me too as I have scouted what store to shop next time! ( I am coming back to shop at the Guess outlet store!)

Halloween 2010 Day 1

Some places in our area celebrated Halloween yesterday. So, off we went to my Mom Lori and Dan's place as it is a yearly tradition to celebrate Halloween with them. This is Andrea's 3rd Halloween and she seems excited. She even took a nap because I told her that we will go trick or treat late in the afternoon.

This picture is taken inside Mom's house. She couldn't wait to get out and start Trick or Treat

So, off we go to trick and treat. Andrea is still excited about it...

The trick or treat thing didn't go very well. She got so shy and wouldn't even say trick or treat. She was happy to get her candies though!
This is what she got....
We have decided not to continue trick or treating, instead we went to the newly open mall near our place. Andrea had a blast and it made her halloween very special.

(Watch out for the mall adventure in my next blog entry)

Halloween... Boo!

Have a fun Halloween celebration everyone! Enjoy trick-or-treating and other costume parties!

Pumpkin Carving

I have never carved a pumpkin in my whole life. Finally we decided to do it. I was surprise how much I enjoy making my first carved pumpkin.

We wanted to do it as a family but Andrea decided that it is too much work for her. I ended up doing most of it because I really wanted to. Dave helped me do it. He helped me scrape the insides of the pumpkin. I did most of the carving and I am proud of the result.

Trying so hard to be artistic....

Proudly showing the carved pumpkin...

The lighted pumpkin.... Not bad for a first timer!

Andrea enjoyed looking at the cat pumpkin. She just get involved after we were done with the pumpkin carving which was really good as to avoid more mess. I hope that next year she will be more interested with us doing pumpkin carving.
