Happy Halloween!!!!

Wednesday was Halloween. Yes, they celebrate it here, Dia de Brujas (day of witches). So all the kiddies dressed up and had a party in the empty apartment. We have 18 kids living on the compound (that does not count Ariceli or Isabel's kids) and I made 21 bags of treats. Well there were some that were too old to trick or treat, some extra kids from school that don't live here, and CJ decided he was going to trick or treat twice (once by himself and once with Edwardito) so I caved and gave him a second bag.

All the mothers went to Lucy's house for a witches convention. We just sat and ate and I was kid free for a bit. When I left, I said, "Adios Brujas!" They laughed....

Anyways. this was Helen's costume. Thanks to Auntie Sarah, we were set. No, I didn't take her trick or treating. I think if the kid can't enjoy the candy, you are exploiting people. I walked her around to say hi but at the end of the night, four people came to my house to give me treat bags for Helen. I got what I was trying to avoid in the first place.

The hat was a bit big, but maybe next year. It kept sliding over her eyes or off her head. It also turned to the side so the eyeballs were in the wrong spot but cute nonetheless.


This position is funny to me.

She was sleeping for most of it but really liked being walked around outside at night. She really liked looking at the sky.

The trick or treat bags.




The extent of my Halloween decorating.


Yes, I have been outdone by my neighbors and I don't care.



And some pics of Helen at Breakfast this morning. The onesie she is wearing is 3-6 mos!!!!



This is a good one.


This is right before she started the fussy business again.
