Mallory has a hard time with some letters and words, and pig is one of them so she usually says “big” instead. So here is our “big” on Halloween tonight:
We went up to Alli’s neighborhood to trick or treat tonight and the girls were HYSTERICAL. They quickly caught on to saying “trick or treat” first, and then “thank you” after, and sometimes threw in the casual “happy halloween!”. They both enjoyed seeing the decorations and spent a bit of time just observing the big kids running through the yards. Both girls were big hits at all the houses and usually got extra candy because they were so cute (or the hander-outers noticed that the mommies were eyeing the chocolate!).
The girls did great – we trick or treated for about 90 minutes which was about how long we were out last year but this year we hit about 20 more houses. Just as we commented on how good the girls were doing, Alli started to have a meltdown about two minutes before Mallory started. In that two minute span, Mallory (who was walking and holding Alli’s mommy’s hand) informed us “Yaya dired” (Allison is tired).
Mallory kept a death grip on her pumpkin the entire night, even at the end when we had to carry her.
Here is the picture of Mallory’s class on Halloween. They were all so cute!
Here is a post-Halloween video of Mallory saying trick or treat and Happy Halloween :-)
