Trick or Treat!

There was a fast black cat on the loose in downtown Hood River and in our condo's complex this past Halloween. We could barely get it to stand still long enough to get its photo.

This was how she was able to carry her pumpkin around :) 

The kitty cat and her dog sidekick. 

Noella enjoyed "trick or treating" in downtown Hood River sunday evening. She kept pointing to all the lights with her mouth open signing "light" (one of the new words in her vocabulary). It's so funny what is amazing to little ones when there is so much excitement and stimulation around them. She kept reaching for the parking meters. Once she could touch one, she just kept smiling and patting it like "this is rrrrrreally cool" :) She wasn't even that fazed when the 8 teenagers in head to toe skin suits of different colors ran by us singing some song at the top of her lungs, but those parking meters.... nothing better!

Someone should have told me how hard it was to try and draw whiskers and a nose on a 10 month old (who turned 10 months on Halloween, thank you very much). Did I tell you she learned to say "kitty" on this VERY day. Of course a kitty is anything with fur and four legs (or an owl).
