Halloween fun

After I got home from work we took Sophie down to a mall to do some trick or treating. It was a fun environment with kids everywhere and it was nice not to walk much for Sophie to be able to get candy. I tried to get her to say trick or treat some more and instead of "cany peas" she would sometimes say, "treat peas!" ... getting closer. We couldn't have asked for better weather, it was beautiful. If we go again next year we'll go earlier though so we have time to do the free hay ride, see the balloon artist, and maybe a little face painting. The last picture is of Sophie trying to stop for a piece of candy out of her bucket. She didn't have the foresight of, "if I keep going I will get more..." she just knew there was candy in her bucket NOW and she wanted to eat it NOW! Silly girl.

After the mall Dan and I got dressed up and went over to a friend's party. There was tons a great food and company. Sophie loved to harass their poor dog. She loves animals too much, I wish she were more afraid. I know some day she's going to push one over the edge and get bit, but for now she has no fear. However, she was afraid of one thing at the party. Someone was trying to tease her by sneaking up and surprising her wearing a scary mask... bad idea. Sophie FREAKED out, I mean really freaked out, I haven't ever seen her like that before. She was kicking, screaming, crying and shaking all over. The poor thing kept saying and signing "scared" the rest of the night. She only wanted me from then on and would cry and scream if anyone else tried to hold her. I was worried that she would have nightmares and not sleep, but she seems to have forgotten because she slept fine.

You can't see it very well in the picture but we sprayed Dan's hair black. I couldn't get him to wear a white shirt or black pants to complete his pirate look but he still looked great. A lot of people took a double take because they didn't recognize him. I wore my wedding shoes (aka- the hooker shoes) just to be more dressed up and crazy. But then everyone thought I was a pregnant playboy bunny... not exactly what I was going for. A few people even said that Dan should have just wore a robe so he could be Hugh and we would go together... honestly I don't even know who Hugh is. :) Oh well, I still think Halloween is a lot of fun, although next year I hope to be just half as cute as the Browns:

Aren't they the cute?

For the record, my wedding dress covered my shoes entirely. Since Dan is over a foot taller than me I had to take drastic measures in order to be able to hug him and not look so short next to him in pictures.
