Happy Halloween! - 304/365

Happy Halloween! 
We were going to have a busy day today! 
Reagan and I started with a trip to the grocery store. We needed a few things, and I had promised her we would bake "ghost" cupcakes for our pizza party that night. I still needed all those supplies, too!
When we got back, Reagan and I were going to work on our final pumpkin. Nana had found this really cool Cinderella set, that had a stencil, sound maker and sensor. You carve the pumpkin. Then, put this sensor down inside, when you walk past the pumpkin, it talks in Cinderella's voice. Reagan was super excited and couldn't wait for it to be done. 
The carving went really well with my new knives! I was done in no time. Cinderella's eyes were a little tricky, but it still came out pretty good. 
When it got to be lunch time, we went to meet Nana and Mary Jane at Cheddar's for a girl's lunch. We had a fun time! We all got sandwiches. Nana and MJ got Philly Cheese Steaks. They were huge and looked delicious! 
 After lunch, they went visiting some friends, while Reagan and I went home to bake our cupcakes. Reagan was the best little mixer! Her favorite part was scraping the side of the bowl with the spatula. And of course, licking the beaters! LOL! She kept going, "MMMMMMM!" It was adorable! 
This evening, was finally trick or treat. The weather was horrible. It was raining and windy and it just kept getting worse. 
On a brighter note, every year since Reagan came along, the grandparents stop over to see her in her costume. Jim's mom and dad stopped over first. Greg came in with zombie teeth and black lips. Reagan just kept staring, not quite sure what to make of it. It took her a good 20 minutes to warm up to him. It was so funny! They stayed a little bit, then headed home to pass out their own candy. 
Papa, Nana and Mary Jane came in soon after with the pizza for our party! We have made it a tradition to have a pizza party Halloween night, before we head out for trick or treat. It's fun to sit with Reagan in her costume and chit chat! 
Parker and Ron were our first customers and they were soaked. Poor guys. They were in good spirits though! It was so sad to see all the kids coming to the door just drenched and cold. 
Finally, we decided it was our turn to brave the rain and set off to a few houses. We gave Reagan her little Dora umbrella and away we went. She wasn't bothered by the rain at all. She just had a good time. We only ended up going to four or five houses, but she had fun. 
When we got back, we dried off a bit, then drove up to Ron and Rachel's to visit them for a few minutes. We got to see Milana and chat with Ron Sr. and Sharon for a few minutes. Sharon made Reagan an adorable little treat bag. It was so sweet.
 When we got back home, Nana, MJ, Reagan and I set off to visit JoAnn for a few minutes. JoAnn always likes to see Reagan in her costume and give her a few treats. Her and Bobby got the biggest kick out of the Watermelon Fairy costume! 
Next up, it was off to Ray and Jenny's! They were so sweet, they had a little stuffed animal for Reagan and some Halloween stickers. We hung out over there for a little bit and chatted. They even had some "treats" for the adults! We got Miller Lites! Cheers! 
 Despite the weather, we had a really nice Halloween with our baby girl. It's hard to believe this was her third one already! 
The photo of the day is Reagan setting out in the rain for Trick or Treat.
 Next, is my cupcake baker and our ghost cupcakes. They HAD to have "frinkles", too! 
Finally, our talking Cinderella pumpkin...
