Halloween has now come and gone. We had a great time this year. Jaden is finally old enough to appreciate family outings and no longer needs to be carried around. Jeff, myself and Aunt Camie took Jaden to a real working farm that was very close to our home for pumpkin picking. It was perfect weather. We let Jaden wear her Halloween costume (monkey) for the outing. The next week we carved the pumpkins. Jaden is obviously still too small to use a knife to carve, so she watched me carve hers.
For actual Halloween we took Jaden to the local outlet mall where all the stores hand out candy. We then went to a nearby cult de sac and did the traditional ringing of doorbells. My partner from work, Michele, her husband, Joe and their two boys, Hunter and Landon came with us. It was fun to watch the kids run up with their bags and get candy.

She did her best to pick this up.

This is her pumpkin. It is a little blurry but obviously says Jaden.
Daddy and monkey trick or treating. I may have bribed her with this lollipop, in order to continue our fun. hehe
Getting candy from the stores. I personally liked this way of trick or treating. There were tons of kids and parents, it was dry and clean. We did knock on about 15 doors after the mall, but unfortunately I was having too much fun and did not get pictures of them.

This has nothing to do with Halloween. It just happened to occur on the same day I had the camera out. We have recently started potty training. This is Jaden on her potty, "texting" with Aunt Camie's phone. It was hilarious. (side note, she likes to be naked while on the potty)
