Halloween and More

A couple of weeks back, we were able to celebrate Kennedy's second Halloween.  After work, we gathered with several neighbors for some pizza before heading out to "Trick or Treat."  At first, Kennedy didn't really understand the concept, but she enjoyed running around the neighborhood with the other kids.  After several houses, Kennedy started to understand that if she went to the front porch, she would get a piece of candy.  She was pretty goofy though, because she wouldn't let go of the candy until she made it to the next house.  They would stick out their bowl and she would just swap what she had in her hand for whatever they had.

On Monday, Kennedy was making a mess as usual.  She was pulling every bow off of her rack on the wall.  Then she decided that she wanted to wear one.  To Rachel's delight, she put one in Kennedy's hair.  Then Kennedy held out her hand with another bow, so Rachel put a second bow in Kennedy's hair.  The cycle continued until we ran out of real estate to clip them to.  She wore them around the house for about fifteen minutes or so.  She probably would have worn them longer, but we had to get her ready for bed.

Kennedy continues to surprise us with new developments.  She has started to help us with laundry.  She first helped us to sort the laundry and then when we were folding the laundry, she would take from the master bedroom to her bedroom where Rachel would put it away.  We'll also have to be careful from now on because she's started to mimic us.

On Sunday, we headed over to the old railroad in Grapevine where we met the photographer to take some holiday portraits.  Afterwards, we stopped by the botanical garden and snapped a few of our own pictures.  Kennedy was all over the park, but we managed to get a few good ones.
