Once Upon A Time, There Was a Pumpkin & a Flower...........and a Chicken!



Avery & Petros had so much fun on Halloween. As you can see, Avery was a flower. It was one of her first words and now almost everything is a flower (even though she knows many other words) so how appropriate that she dressed up as a flower on Halloween!

Petros was originally caught up between being a telephone (his first fascination in America) and a pumkin. We just happened to find a cute pumkin costume that he really loved so a pumkin he was!

It was so much fun to see them all excited about being in their costumes. Petros practiced saying "Trick or Treat" and "Thank You" during the week and did a really good job going door to door. Avery was just as excited but probably didn't really understand what was going on anyway. I stayed back at Melissa's house and handed out candy while Dan, Tiffany & Melissa (poor Gavin was working again!) went around Melissa's neighborhood with Petros and Avery. They came back with their buckets full of candy. Since Avery is too little to have most of what she got (but ate the Teddy Grahams) and Petros doesn't like candy (but enjoyed having Tiffany try a little bit of everything), Avery just enjoyed putting her hands into the bucket and throwing the candy out. Petros tasted a few things and finally settled on a lollypop. Next year should be even more fun! We even had a visit from Sofia the Chicken!



Now comes the holiday season...........Woo Hoo!!! I've got to get busy!! Bring on the Christmas music!
