Caida's 6th Birthday

The actual birthday was probably not too fun for Caida. She dressed up and went to school. She said she had a lot of fun at school. They sang happy birthday to her and gave her a book from the library as a present and then she went to the Birthday Box and she picked out a car (which I never got to see because a bully on the bus threw it out the window.)
When she got home, I played some games with her until dinner. Caida wanted to go to Pepe's and it was a small business with few staff, so they didn't sing or anything. But, our waitress decided to put a candle in some fried ice cream, so that was sweet. ;)
She opened up a few presents and then we went home and she played with some new stuff before she went to bed.
Maybe not the best day...but then came the birthday party on Saturday.
It was really cute. Celeste did a good job on the headbands that had little ears on them and she painted the kid's faces. She also did the cake, which was awesome. Pizza, games, kids dressed like animals and puppy chow in dog bowls. (obviously made with chex, not horse) haha.
The theme was Littlest Pet Shop. Everyone definitely did a great job with everything and I think Caida had a lot of fun.

Trick or Treat

I was getting pretty worried about what we were going to do this year to get in the Halloween mood. We decorated a few weeks ago, we watched a scary movie a few weeks ago, but since then, it just hasn't felt scary around here. We finally decided to carve pumpkins last night, and dress up and go out trick-or-treating. I was cold, we only got one trick-or-treater at our house, but Caida had so much fun. It was all worth it!
We didn't take a camera to the actual houses and neighbors we went to. (And I probably wouldn't be able to remove my hands from my jacket, anyway!) However, we did get some pictures of the house, and of her getting her last house (our house) and the huge amount of candy she collected. All in all, Halloween for Caida was a big success. Next year, I am definetely going to some haunted houses, and having scary movie marathons and doing things to make it awesome for the big kids, too. :) On a much unhealthier note, I have enough candy to last a normal person a month or two. Which means it will probably get eaten in 3 or 4 days. haha
Bring on the stomach ache!
