Trick or Dog

We tried trick or treating this year, but the girls preferred searching for dogs and asking if we could go home to eat cucumbers.  We did manage to find a few houses with small dogs that the girls could pet, and we munched on cucumbers while listening to Halloween music once we got home. 

Emma also enjoyed being the trick-or-treater lookout.  She stationed herself at the front door with a pile of Legos and stared out the window.  The post was abandoned many a time when a good sing-along song came on the computer. 

Although Emma liked the trick-or-treaters, Ani's favorite Halloween activity appeared to be cleaning out the pumpkins.  Ani developed a clever method that would allow her to clean out pumpkins indefinitely.  As soon as she would take out all the guts and seeds, she would stuff them all back in.  For over an hour, we heard, "Take them out, put them in!"
