Cara, month 31 part two (Halloween 2007!)

Pre-Halloween festivities commenced on the evening of 10/30/07, when we all gathered to paint pumpkins.

Mommy and Daddy also joined in:

Also on 10/30, Cara found all of her stickers:

I think she's had enough!

10/31/07, Cara helps the preparations by organizing the candy:

Mommy painting on the kitty face. At this point in the proceedings, Cara is grabbing a brush to try to join in and help paint her own face. We stopped her, though it might have been interesting to see what she did.

The finished look--our kitty is ready to go:

The Loefflers and the Genzanos meet up for trick-or-treating! On the far right, notice PJ's "rescue pack."

Of course our first stop was Juliana's house! Do you think she's scared?

This is a crazy picture. Ev wanted to take a picture of me with Cara, but Cara decided that what she wanted to do was hide and sneak around behind me. PJ is always ready for photo ops, though, so I posed with him instead.

More wackiness:

PJ and Casey with their grandpa. He's the only one smiling...

Epilogue: Cara's haul.
