We started our morning with homemade orange colored chocolate chip pancakes. They were a big hit!
After lunch, and while Naomi took a nap, we carved two pumpkins. Micah and Jacob both designed the face for one of them.
After the pumpkins were carved it was time to get into our costumes. The town we live in was having "Trick or Treat on 3rd street" which is one of the main streets in the town. You could go trick or treating in all the shops. I let Naomi wear some make-up which she loved.
It started raining when we were going into all the stores but we hung in there. We were surprised to see how many people came out, it was really fun. This was Naomi's first Halloween but it did not take her long to get the hang of it. Micah and Jacob were so sweet coaching her what to do.
Naomi was Cinderella, Micah was a Mad Scientist and Jacob was Frankenstein that Micah created.
After going to the stores we met up with some neighborhood friends to trick or treat around our neighborhood. We were all amazed at this huge leaf that Naomi found! It was pretty cold and a little drizzly. All the kids had an undershirt, shirt and sweatshirt under their costume. People in our neighborhood were very generous, giving each kid 3-5 pieces of candy. Before we knew it their pumpkins were full!

One thing that was new here is that almost all the houses in our neighborhood are split level which means you have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the front door. Naomi really had to work to get to each door to get her candy and she was wiped out by the end.
Our friend let Naomi hold her flashlight and she was fascinated with it. She spent a lot of time in one spot examining things on the ground. We had to teach her not to shine it in people's eyes. At one point we told her put it on the ground, meaning the light, but she stopped walking and put the whole flashlight on the ground!
After we got home and warmed up with baths it was time to sort through our candy. We got 2 big bowls full!
Hope you had a great Halloween!
