Boo!

Maeve has been walking around the house for a couple of days now saying, "Boo". Not sure where it came from. I guess they taught it to her at daycare. She had a great Halloween. Her daycare is in a tech park, so they took their kids in their costumes to one of the tech companies across the street. Apparently the kids were a big hit. Maeve is one of the smallest in her class so dressed in her little love bug costume she is a quite the little bundle.

Then Baba picked her up early from daycare and went to Grandma and Grandpa's house where her cousins the great wizard Miller and the scary ghost Bram where also visiting. They had a hoot running around in their costumes.

After that Maeve came to visit Mama at work where the adoring crowd cooed over her (Maeve that is, not Mama).

Finally, after supper, Baba took Maeve out in her red wagon to visit a few neighbours. At first she was wondering why she was going up to the houses and ringing the bell. But once she figured out that people would drop goodies into her bag it was , "More! More!" Her favourites were smarties boxes and chip bags because they make lots of noise. She hasn't had any candy or chips yet, so she doesn't know the sugary goodness that lurks inside those packages. She just likes the noise.

She also enjoyed handing out the candy as the kids came to the door. I think it frustrated a couple of kids because Maeve took her time picking out just the right candy out of the bowl. But most of the ghouls and goblins were patient and thought she was cute.

Wizards and Love Bugs and Ghosts! Oh My!

She's the cutest lovebug ever!! You're good, she doesn't know what's in those bags/boxes. Unfortunately having a big sis means Ava knows about a lot of things I rather she didn't! Looks like you had good weather too. Thanks heaven for that. I'm sure the kids loved getting candy from the little bug, even if it did take awhile.

Great costume--I guess great minds think alike! :) Isn't it amazing to experience Halloween with a child? It's nice that Maeve was able to visit lots of friends and family for Halloween.

Maeve is one sweet ladybug!

That video is the best. When Maeve held up the bag and got that little smile around her eyes, it just melted my heart!

It sounds like it was an amazing action-packed first Halloween for Maeve. Glad she got to spend it with some cousins, too! The kissing cousins photo is wonderful.

Oh the cuteness! It's amazing how quickly they get the hang of the whole trick or treating thing. She looks adorable as a little lady love bug.

Love the video!
