Our Halloween

For Marley's second Halloween we spent the day in Cedar Hills with Jason's family. He was lucky enough to get the day off, so once Marley had her nap we headed 

down there for some fun.

Marley dressed up as a mouse, I was a cat, and Jason was cheese. My sister and her little family joined us for trick or treating and we had a great time.

 Marley didn't quite understand what we were doing, and she got a little grumpy. She's not good at following us when we put her down to walk, so she tried to run all over even though it was dark and she was in a new place. 

So then Jason tried to put her on his shoulders, but for some reason she couldn't balance right. We think it was the "big booty" of her mouse costume that threw off her center of gravity a little bit. It was actually hilarious to watch her, and she even fell all the way backwards twice. 

Jason ended up carrying Marley most of the time and taking her to all the houses. Eventually she was banished to the stroller and we took her costume off because she was getting hot. 

Once we were all finished trick or treating, we went back inside and I made candy trades with my niece. The kids played for awhile, and then we took our tired, grumpy kid home.

This Halloween was a lot more exhausting than last year, mostly because I'm 20 weeks pregnant AND we had to chase around a 20 month old toddler. Hard to believe next year we will have 2 trick or treaters!
