Rebecca was totally jazzed about Halloween this year! Although she is still Spidergirl, her Halloween costume was a mermaid princess. But she's still Spidergirl. I hope you all grasp this concept, because it is very important to Rebecca!
To celebrate Halloween this year, we first went to the Halloween festival in our local shopping complex. They have a lot of games and such, and (most of) the shops give out candy. Of course, there are a few who...well, some just don't get it. Like this Chinese restaurant that was giving out samples of fried rice. Really?
Next, we went to Grandma's and Auntie Myrna's house to make the rounds of family. Grandma loaded Rebecca up with her favorite M&Ms, which Rebecca was into before we were out of her driveway.
Then, we went over to the Courtneys' so that the girls could trick-or-treat together. Rebecca loved seeing her cousins!
Rebecca still has a lot to learn about the social niceties of trick-or-treating. When someone reached into their bowl and pulled out some candy to drop in Rebecca's bag, she promptly handed it back to them and reached in their bowl and picked out a KitKat that she preferred.
At another house, the homeowners weren't answering the doorbell fast enough. Their door was partially open, and Rebecca pushed it all the way open. I am not sure if she was going to go in and find their candy and help herself or not.
However, both she and Hannah were a bit skeptical about the house where there was no one answering the door, but who had left a bowl of candy. They didn't really believe they were supposed to take a piece for themselves. Rebecca got over it before Hannah did, however.
We did three streets in their neighborhood, and then Rebecca decided that she was done. She didn't want to go to any more houses. She didn't want to get any more candy. She was over it! She fell asleep eating her hamburger that we got at In-N-Out, and when we took it out of her hand, she woke up long enough to eat some of her candy. Then she was OUT! Halloween takes its toll on little mermaid princesses!
