Tardy Halloween Report: Eliza the Dancing Doggy

We had a chill Halloween. Eliza mostly just went trick-or-treating at the ward's trunk-or-treat and Steve's work.

She was an adorable puppy dog.

(I thought Eliza was making a really cute face in this picture)

Eliza rocked the trick-or-treating. She loves carrying around bags anyways, so she loved the addition of getting candy from everyone and getting to add it to her bag.

And it turned out that Eliza's favorite Halloween activity ended up being dancing to Halloween music that someone was playing from their car. It was hilarious to see Eliza the Dancing Dog.
We got a really funny video of it, but it turned out to be too dark to show much. Bummer.
To celebrate Halloween, parent style, we took Eliza down to C'ville's Down Town mall and let her play on the little carousel, and then we went and ate Thai food. Delicious. Then we went home and put Eliza to bed and watched Psycho together and ate popcorn.

We also tried our hand at pumpkin-ing. Steve wanted Eliza to create her own to foster her inner artist. So he let her go loose with a sharpie marker on the 3rd pumpkin, and he carved out the result:

Apparently Eliza is headed down the Fine Art style path.

I think Eliza's favorite part of it was getting naked. I swear, the best way to get Eliza to go goofy wild is to take off some of her clothes. I think I've mentioned that before. Funny kid.Steve tried to carve out a ferocious version of Mika on his pumpkin. I did the unoriginal stenciling and did a ghost saying Boo and a rockin', creepy tree.Each holiday with Eliza gets more fun. Eliza was freakin' adorable last year but also completely unaware of the perks, especially being on an all-milk diet. I think next year should be even more fun. We'll see...
