First Trick or Treat

Una and I watched The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown on friday night to give Una a little clue into what this whole Halloween thing was about. I think that helped. She was really excited to get into her costume and go out trick or treating. However, she got a little nervous at the first house, almost didn't make it to the second and had to be slowly talked into the rest of our block. She was pretty excited about going home and eating her candy. So after about 6 houses we went home. But then she got a second wind after watching several kids come to the door and getting candy out of a big bowl that clearly wasn't for her, and Una and i went back out for round two while ted carved pumpkins and answered the door. Una got it this time. She LOVED it and had so much fun. I felt like i was suddenly running around the neighborhood with a little lady. I didn't know Anne or Ted when they were little (obviously), but i feel like Una is just like them from all the stories i hear. How she can be so little and so grown up at the same time is mind blowing to me, and man, the cute factor is off the charts. We had fun. At bedtime, while ted and i were cleaning the kitchen she yelled out a random, "Happy Halloween!" from her bed. She kills me.
