Little Quack's Halloween

My goodness, this autumnal season has been quite the hit at our house. After the trip to the pumpkin patch, C's been enamored with every pumpkin she's seen. Of course this means Halloween (to)night was a bit overwhelming on the pumpkin front. We had to go see every pumpkin in every yard. We had to wait until this evening when Fred got home from work to carve our pumpkin into a Jack o'Lantern. I'm just glad C was enthralled by the process, rather than horrified by it.
Last year "Tigger" was quite content to stay at the house and help Daddy pass out treats. This year, "Little Quack" quite quickly figured out what was going on and wanted to go around to the houses and get treats of her own. She even insisted on carrying her own pillowcase to get her treats. By the time she got tired, she'd figured out how to say "Trick or Treat, Please." and "Thank You," without prompting. I was quite pleased by her use of manners. We made it around our cul-de-sac and up the connecting street's cul-de-sac and up the next one over before she decided she was tired of walking. All our neighbors and friends commented that C was very cute, especially when she'd say "quack quack". We chose a duck costume for her, based on the "Little Quack" books she enjoys having us read to her, repeatedly. She loved her costume, touching it often even before she got to wear it; it was so soft. I'm just glad that she enjoyed herself...well, that and that I took the stroller along for when she was done walking. Our dear "Little Quack" has had her Halloween.
