Trick-or-Treat!

We decided to go to Reidsville for Halloween this year. It is rare that Halloween falls on a Saturday. This is really the only way that my mom would get to see Cora trick-or-treating.

The night reminded me of when I was young. We always piled into the back of Uncle Mike's truck and he took us from house to house. We would come back to Grandma Cora's and trade candy.

We missed hanging out with the McGuirts and Cecils but we were glad we went. We visited 7 houses and Trunk-or-Treat at "Big T". We were exhausted! Once we got to Gram's house, our last stop, Cora went from ballerina to Flash Dance dancer. She had had enough with the tutu. Cora got her cousin fix. Caroline and Morgan did not make it but I took pictures of everyone that did. We had such a fantastic time. We love Halloween!Cora at High Rock.

Cora got to go to the front door. We always had to go to the dark spooky kitchen to get treats when Mrs. Prince was living. SCARY!!!

Our first stop- Grandma Jennie and Grandpa Irving's house

Pumpkin Patch

We visited a pumpkin patch. Cora had a great time. I think she wanted to take them all home. They had animals, a farm themed playground, hay rides and even a kid friendly corn maze. We had so much fun. We plan to go to the same place next year.

Fall-O-Ween Week

Cora's school had a week of fun leading up to Halloween. Each day students were asked to dress according to a theme. Monday was Tacky Day. Cora wore a striped dress, polka dotted leggings, mismatched polka dot socks and red patent leather shoes. (That was the day that we met with our realtor. She was still there when Coy brought Cora home. Nice.) Tuesday was cowgirl/cowboy/farmer day. Pink overalls, of course. Wednesday was 60's, 70's or 80's day. She wore "loud" print bell bottom pants. On Thursday she was supposed to dress like what she wants to be when she grows up??? We put her in a Carolina shirt and jeans. We'll be excited if she wants to be a Carolina Girl some day :) On Friday, they were asked to dress like a person from the Bible. We went to the last minute on this decision. Cora was Mary. She wore white and blue and carried Baby Jesus. Unfortunately, the only day I took pictures was Friday. She was too cute. Poor Jesus, He ended up naked and thrown in the parking lot but He was a good sport.

So sweet.
