Trick or Treat?!

Wow - I barely recall something about a cow costume last year but I'm not sure there is ever a way I will forget this year's Halloween festivities galore! Check out my ghoulish schedule!

Saturday, October 24th - Mia and crew came over to carve pumpkins at my house! Okay - that orange gunk inside was DIGUSTING. I was happy helping Poorni Aunty pick pumpkin seeds after everyone else stuck their hands in that yucky orange pit of gooeyness.

Sunday, October 25th - Mommy and I joined 2,000 other kids and doggies galore for the Del Ray Kids and Dogs Costume parade (apparently strollers were eligible too!) My favorite part was the lollipop the astronaut kid gave me...until Mommy took it away. I was pretty much ready to quit in the middle of the parade.

Thursday, October 29th - Nimia, Molly and I got dressed up for the costume party at the park!

Friday, October 30th - Mommy yanked me out of the house as soon as she got home from work so we could make it to the Falls Church Halloween Carnival with Mia, Ana Aunty, and Naveen Uncle. Hmmm...somehow the parents of the 200 other kids there remembered to dress them up in their costumes...not mine. We still had fun scaring Ana Aunty in the haunted house!

Saturday, October 31st AM - Woo hoo! Halloween is here! Mommy STILL forgot my costume when we spent the morning with Saajan, Ashish Uncle, and Sejal Aunty at Cox Farms. But as soon as I started going on the million slides, the costume was pretty much out of my mind.

Saturday, October 31st PM - Still going strong! And the cupcake costume that my mommy made from scratch for me finally made it's debut. Let's at least give her an A for effort! We headed into DC to go trick or treating with my pal Molly and Maddie. SO FUN! The night started with someone calling me a lampshade but everyone else in the other houses we visited had imaginations and knew I was the cutest and sweetest cupcake they had every seen! Let's be honest, though...urban trick or treating and lampshades around your waist just don't mix! At least mommy got a workout and learned her lesson about just buying a freakin costume next year. The night ended with a pumpkin full of lollipops and lots of fun!

Sunday, November 1st - Why let a little time change and month change stop us from continuing the Halloween fun? We're running on momentum now! I headed over to Ishan's house for their annual Halloween bash where the cupcake costume was barely hanging on but with the support of the Baker (mommy), Spoon (Poorni Aunty) and Fork (Ram Uncle) I was able to hold on to the costume for the first 45 minutes of the party. But then the moonbounce was screaming my name...moonboune minus lampshade = lots more fun!
