the rogers family life as 3 ...: happy halloween!

Trick or Treat from the cutest little flower that you ever did see ...

or at least, we sure think so ... but we may be a little biased!

Kendall & I were sooooo happy to be getting out of the house & going to school on Thursday ... 4 days of sickness, little sleep, fever & crankiness was about all the both of us could stand! At pre-school on Thursday, it was "Dress-Up Day" ... so all the kids wore their halloween costumes & we had a mini-carnival & party that afternoon. Kendall wore her flower costume for part of the day ... she really doesn't enjoy wearing the head piece, which is the actual flower part ... so without it on, she was more like "a stem"! (I bought this Children's Place costume for $7.50 at a consignment store last year ... it's a 12 months, but it was huge on her ... the snaps that fit in between her legs hung down past her knees, but she didn't seem to mind that part of the costume too much!) Kendall's teacher, Miss Dee, gave her a pumpkin full of goodies for Kendall & her parents ... animal crackers, gold fish, puffs, yogurt melts & some candy ... she loved going through everything & eating some of the treats, too!

Today, Halloween, we got her dressed up in her costume again (this time she left it on much longer) and went to 4 of our neighbors' homes for Kendall's 1st trick or treat outing! We visited our neighbors early in the evening, so we could experience trick or treating, but still be home in time to have others stop by our house, keep her bedtime schedule & watch Game 4 of the World Series!

Christopher and Terri all came to the door to see her

Since it was such a nice day outside, Kendall & I played on the front porch while Daddy mowed the grass ... this girl loooooves to watch him mow! She also enjoyed going through her tiny bucket of candy she collected and our give-away candy for the trick or treaters that were to come that evening ... she loved picking out each piece of candy, shaking it, ooooohing & ahhhhing over all of them & then putting them all back in the bucket ... I love that she enjoys cleaning up, too!

Despite our extreme disappointment that the Rangers lost Game 4 in the World Series (with the Giants leading the series 3-1), we had a great family weekend of togetherness! Everything is just soooo much funner with Kendall around! (Yes, I know "funner" is not a real word.)

Kendall collected several cute fall/halloween shirts for the season ... we were either given them or I bought them for dirt cheap at the JBF consignment sale. Here are more pictures of our sweet little pumpkin over the past week or so ...
