Knock Knock

Wonder Woman made her appearance on Halloween Night. Thank you Aunt Izzy for letting us borrow it, it was a winner! Morgan was so excited to wear the costume (no tears) and she had this burst of energy when she put it on.

Mom and Dad decided we should start the night off trick or treating around Beaver Lake. We thought it would be fun to meet some of our neighbors for the first time. (We have only lived here 4 years!) I thought it would be a good surprise too, since we have never had a trick or treater come to the house. The first house had a long driveway but it was all lighted and they had lots of fun Halloween decorations. Now normally Morgan is shy around new people and places but not Wonder Woman. No, Wonder Woman RUNS down the driveway and starts knocking on the door before we could get there. After a long wait, a lady opens the door. She looks at us in utter disbelief and says, ”we have never had a trick or treater here. And ummm….. we do not get any candy this year.” Just then, Wonder Woman takes off and runs inside the house. She is not leaving without her treat. As we try to get Wonder Woman to come back outside the neighbor realizes she might have a leftover candy bar and scurries off to the kitchen to look. She comes back with a full size candy bar and Wonder Woman could not have been more excited. We decided at that point we better surprise any more neighbors. We headed off to O’s toddler Halloween Party for night of trick or treating, fun toddler play and yummy Halloween treats. On the way over to the party Wonder Woman ate the whole candy bar with a BIG chocolate smile on her face. Morgan LOVED Halloween. She ran house to house and got lots of candy. She can not say "Trick or Trick" yet but she did know how to "knock, knock" and look cute for some candy. I think this might be her favorite holiday for years to come.

She is soooo adorable! I love that she took on the Wonder Woman persona and was able to conquer her shyness :) I think it is so funny that she went into the house!! Z too is very shy but S said he had no problems going up to doors and asking for candy :) S said that a few times he would ask to go alone...too funny!
