No Tricks Just Treats




"Who are you Hannah?" "I'm JoJo" she yells so excitedly. JoJo's Circus is a kid's show on Playhouse Disney that Hannah watches in the morning before Mommy and Daddy roll out of bed. Hannah and JoJo have lots in common: the vibrant red hair, they talk with the same pronunciation of words and playfullness in their voices, and they love to have fun! And although Hannah doesn't have a pet lion, we figure Ben is close enough.

Hannah did a great job sitting still while Daddy painted her face and mommy pinned on her hat. We decided to make her costume instead of buying one, and it turned out pretty well; other kids out trick-or-treating knew who she was. We went to all the neighbors houses and she got lots of candy (like whole handfuls at some of the houses), we think the cuteness factor played a big part. And the fact that she was actually a little kid, not a teenager walking around in a hoodie (check out Uncle Brian's blog). So now we have to ration out this candy slowly. It might be a good go on the potty incentive!




As Hannah would say, "we had the Best Halloween ever," and hope you did too!

Dear Ben,

Glad you liked the pumpkin outfit - I knew you'd look cute in it! Tell Hannah she made a great JoJo, too.

My parents also made me wear a costume to get some treats. When are we going to actually be able to eat some of this candy?

Happy Halloween!

Love,
Evy
