Trick Or Treating 2008

Trick or Treating was this past weekend so we got Olivia dressed up and just took her up and down our street. There was more than enough candy for her just by going to a few houses. She wasn't too excited about being a cat until she actually had the costume on and finally knew what I had been talking about. The outfit was so cute on her and it was just a sweat suit I bought big enough to put a bunch of layers of clothes on underneath which was good because it was pretty cold already on Sunday. She had a good time but only said "trick or treat" in-between houses. She also enjoyed saying "meow, meow" a lot. When she got to a neighbors door and a strange person-or even a person she knew-came out she pretty much froze, other than keeping an eye on the candy they were putting in her bucket.
At one house a very scary costume came out of the door and really freaked her out. I was afraid there would be nightmares after that but she has been fine. She just didn't want to go anywhere near that house again.




This is her very sad attempt at being a vicious tiger. She didn't understand the concept of showing her claws like Jenny and I were trying to get her to do.
I guess we will just have to call her a playful kitty instead.





As we finished up after about 45 minutes of being out in the cold and wind I got a couple pictures in front of the house. You can read her mind in this one....."how long will these pictures take? I have to get this candy open!!"
(Oooops....the ears kept blowing off of her head and I just noticed Mom put them back on backwards...oh well, it's still cute.)
