Happy Halloween

Since we were all feeling so much better this weekend, we decided to have a little fun. After last weekend, which was spent taking care of each other and trying to feel better, we were ready for an outing or two. Friday was Halloween and although it really isn't celebrated here, Charlotte still dressed up in her costume. Instead of trick or treating (which again isn't done here) ,we took her out for ice cream after supper. A fair substitute for mini chocolate bars and candy corn, I guess. She wasn't too keen on the hat that went with her costume, but we managed to get one before we left for ice cream.

The next picture is of her in McDonalds eating her treat. She was pretty enthusiastic about the huge cone we got her (it wasn't until later that we thought we should have asked for a baby cone, which they may not even have). Even after she was clearly done with it (and long before it was finished), it was hard to get the cone away from her sticky little hands.

We took her outside after getting her cone and she splashed around in the fountain for a while. It could have helped to clean her off a bit, but as you can see, she was still clutching her ice cream cone.

She also decided that it was time for a poop about the time this shot was taken, so soon after we headed back to the car and then straight home to clean up our messy child. A fun Halloween evening, even if it was somewhat different than it would have been if we were at home in Saskatoon.
