We had a great day together!
We started by getting all dressed up in a cute Halloween outfit, and then heading to school. I dropped her off and came back about an hour later for her Halloween parade. Since her preschool is affiliated with the Department of Energy, all of the kids put on their costumes and walked over to the DOE building. The employees were all lined up in the hallways ready to pass out candy. Kerriann was such a good girl, and rotated between saying "Trick or Treat," "Happy Halloween," "Please," and "Thank You."
Kerriann received a ton of candy and had so much fun at school. She was really upset when it was time for me to leave, but when I picked her up she was in a great mood again and even had a couple of really cute Halloween crafts to show me.
(Don't mind the cake, or the rest of the mess in the background... haha!)
As soon as we got home from school Kerriann was begging for candy and to go trick or treating, so I managed to get her to eat some chicken and strawberries and then we put her costume back on.
We walked around our neighborhood trick or treating for a good 30 minutes before I decided we should call it a night. Kerriann had already collected a ton of candy, it was cold, and it had also started raining. When we came back in we watched Halloween specials on TV and ate a few pieces of candy.
She had a bag of regular M&Ms, a bag of peanut butter M&Ms and a mini three musketeers bar and still went to bed at 8pm with no problem!
We had a great day, and the only thing missing was Kevin. I'm already looking forward to celebrating Halloween and the rest of the holidays as a family of three next year!
