During the 1st part of October, Chris and I, along with our dog Millie went chucker hunting with my dad, brother and nephew. We had success and Millie did a pretty good job for her 1st hunt. Plus we found some deer antlers.
Kelli had a hay day at preschool. She got to dress up. The parents came and the kids sang Halloween songs to them. It was sure cute.

Over Halloween weekend, we carved our pumpkin.
Then the highly anticipated day came. Kelli was so excited for Halloween and trick-or-treating.
When the afternoon came, she started complaining about her tummy hurting. Then by dinner time she was throwing up. I was feeling so bad for her. I could remember times when I was little and I was stuck home on the couch with a throw up bowl on Halloween. It was horrible. Well Kelli threw up a few times. I knew she wanted to go trick-or-treating so badly. I asked her how she was feeling and if she still wanted to go. After a bunch of debating, she said that she still wanted to go. I said to her that we could try a couple of houses and see how she was doing. I thought for sure that she wouldn't make it for very long. After we went to a few houses, Kelli started acting like she was feeling better and before long, she was running from house to house and beaming with excitement. I was thrilled she got better so quickly.
My little trick-or-treaters.
Kelli was Rapunzel and Carson was Scooby Doo. Carson also loved the whole trick-or-treating thing. He would run right up to the door and participate with the knocking. He would get so excited about the candy. Carson would pick out his piece of candy and run away with it. I couldn't believe the excitement in that kid that night.
Checking out their loot.
You're so awesome for letting her go! I remember those terrible nights being sad because I was sick too!
