A Halloween Ho-Down!














We've finally arrived at the end of October on The Weber's Journey Through Fall, and what would that journey be like without regaling our readers with stories of spooky specters and ghoulish goblins on Halloween Night? Okay, so Norah is still a little too young to be pounding the pavement for candy on Beggar's Night, but that didn't stop the Webers from having a great Halloween weekend.

Norah's Halloween journey began on the Friday before Beggar's Night with a costume party at her new day-care center, A World of Love. What a blast! The social room of the center was filled with some of the cutest kids donning some of the most creative and precious costumes you've ever laid eyes on. There were lions, ducklings, garden gnomes ( an EXTREMELY popular choice this season) and dragons galore. But, there was only one, unique, beautiful Jessie the Cowgirl from the 'Toy Story' series!!!! Last year, Norah was a prancing pachyderm; this year, she was a clippity-cloppity cowgirl!!!!!

In addition to being able to visit with all of her little friends, there were tons of games that Norah got to partake in (and prizes to boot!). Although, Norah was a bit stuffy-nosed and overwhelmed with the crowd, she had a good time (as did Mommy and Daddy).

Norah loved her costume so much that she insisted on putting it right back on the following morning.....and then going downstairs and watching 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer'! Mommy had to chuckle at the comedy of it all. She even considered putting on "Jingle Bells" while they carved the Jack-O-Lantern later that evening. Alas! The infatuation with the costume was just a very short-lived faze, for Norah decided to don a 'Little Swimmers' swimming diaper...and nothing else....for the pumpkin carving (We're all about self-expression in the Weber Household, and our little girl is one creative little tyke! :-)

After the pumpkin was carved, it was right back into our Jessie outfit so that we could parade our little trick-or-treater around Grandma and Poppy's house. After a playing over there, and a quick stop off at Norah's old sitter, Kathy's, house, it was back home to enjoy some pizza, more 'Rudolph', a bath and greeting trick-or-treaters at The Weber Inn.

Although she had a great time again this year, we're looking forward to NEXT year when Norah will be old enough to really go door to door. And, she'll have a little sibling to tag along for all fun!
