We Heart Halloween

Mckinlay is a big Halloween fan. She was in heaven all day yesterday. The first thing she did this morning was crawl over to her costume and have us put it on her.
We started off our Halloween by going to two of my favorite places Wilson Farms...
...and Mount Auburn Cemetery for a photo shoot in the fall-ness.
I'm mean really. Is there a better place to go on Halloween than to the cemetery? And maybe it helps that this is one of the most beautiful-non-spooky cemeteries out there.
We went trick-or-treating in Brighton Center with Anna, Pauly, Marcus and Brooklyn (and Melanie and Brianne).
Shortly after this picture was taken I heard Mckinlay going "ummm, ummm, ummm" and I looked down to see that she had discovered how to unwrap one of the suckers in her hand. She was going to town on it. It was pretty funny. When she finished it (it took her about 3 mins. tops) someone put a Kit-Kat in her hand. I figured that one was safe. WRONG:
We had soup with bugs in it and eyeball sammies for dinner. Mckinlay really like her grasshopper and she really was trying to eat it. It was pretty funny to watch. If I were Grandma Hallstrom, the bugs would not just be in the soup, they would be baked into the brownies (but remember how we went to Wilson Farms? So obviously we had apple cider and cider donuts for dessert instead) and we would not have regular utensils to eat our dinner with. I can still remember trying to eat spaghetti with a spatula as a kid. Oh Grandma. And remember her witch? I can remember that screeching noise like it was yesterday. Sigh.
We went to a cupcake party after dinner and Mckinlay discovered how much she like mac and cheese out of other people's bowls and that frosting tastes much better if you smear it all over your face as well and get some in your mouth.

I love Halloween and it is so much more fun now that we have our little goblin around (as I'm sure is obvious by the number of pictures in this post)!
