It was our first Halloween this year and it didn't quite go as planned but it was still fun all the same. We started it off by attending a very well planned costume party at the Borg's on the 23rd. We were all supposed to show up dressed in a theme. It was all planned out. Fabian would be a firefighter (I know, we have no originality), Lyla would be his little Dalmatian, and I would go as Cruella De Vil. Well all of those plans came to a screeching halt when we realized that Fabian was on shift that day. It was a total bummer, but hey, that is the life of a firefighter and I am sure that there will be many more holidays similar to this one, this coming Christmas in fact.
She was so funny to watch because I could tell that not only was she exhausted since we were about an hour past her bedtime, but she had stimulation overload. Everyone tried, but no one could distract her from all of the bright colors and kiddos running all over the place. She also got her first taste of icing. She was a fan I will just say that!
The actual day of Halloween came and went without much of a bang. The night before I noticed her sneezing and sniffing but by the next evening it turned into a full fledged cold. We still decided to take her Mainstay Farms for a photo opp, but with her not feeling well a smile was hard to come by....not existent actually. The evening came and we didn't even turn on our porch light the for trick-or-treaters! Since she didn't feel well we just decided to call it a night and decided to skip handing out candy this year. At least we saved some $$$ because last year we went through 16, yes, that is 16 bags of candy!
