The Hunt's: Squeak

Better late than never, but here are some of our Halloween pictures from this year.

Last year, Jane was 10 months old and just learned to walk, so we didn't take her trick or treating. So this year was the first year she got to go, and she LOVED it. Im not sure why I thought she wouldn't get it, but oh, did she get it.

We went in my parents neighborhood where pretty much everyone participates and makes a big deal of Halloween. Most people actually sit in lawn chairs in their driveway and hand out candy there. So the first few times, Jane didn't even go to a door.

This got her a little confused though because then she kept going up to random people who were trick or treating themselves and saying "trick or treat" and expecting candy. haha

Then the few times we did go to a door, she tried to walk into the houses. Besides all that though, she really enjoyed it. She was also interested in all the scary things. She wanted to get close to scary things and look at them, but she made sure she was holding her Daddy's hand and repeating "its ok" the whole time.

She loved trick or treating so much, at one point, she wouldn't stop skipping down the street. She also got very concerned when Mr. Hunt took out some of her candy from her pumpkin. He wanted to make sure it wasn't too heavy, but she thought he was stealing it.

So, I originally wanted Jane to be dressed as an elephant since she loves them right now, but I couldn't find a costume that I like or wasn't $50 or more. So, I resorted to the mouse costume. It was actually pretty cheap because I just bought grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt (something she can wear again) and bought the ears, tail, and nose (which she didn't wear) separate. I felt a little bad for "skimping out" on her costume, but I also know that starting next year, I wont have much say on what she will want to dress up as for Halloween.

Enjoy some cute pictures of our cute little mouse.

the tail....too cute

Before we went trick or treating, Jane found some candy that her Nana was planning on handing out. We told her she couldn't eat any quite yet because we hadn't eaten dinner. So she resorted to licking each and very piece, over and over. I think she was hoping it would eventually unwrap itself or something.
