We decorated the small pumpkin she picked out as a "Pumpkin Patch." Naturally, since we waited until after we returned from California to carve the giant pumpkin, that one had to be Minnie Mouse. Nora also enjoyed eating the seeds Dad seasoned and toasted!
And, having saved the best for last, here are the pictures of Nora's costume this year. When I first asked her what she wanted to be, she wasn't sure. We looked at a google image search of "toddler costumes," and I was excited that she kept picking Batgirl because I thought we were going to have one of a thousand Elsas. BUT imagine my delight when I discovered that Batgirl's alter ego is Dr. Barbara Gordon, who has her PhD in Library Science and is the head librarian in Gotham City. As you can imagine, this made the costume a big hit at the costume storytime we attended at our public library.
We sent Oma a few pictures of Batgirl and, as usual, she did an amazing job interpreting them and crafting a one-of-a-kind costume for Nora. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of Batdog, but Nora was VERY excited that Mom made her stuffed dog Percy a matching cape. Nora loved being one of many superheros in her class during the Halloween party and parade, and we stopped at a golf course near her school to take some pictures afterward.
We took Batgirl trick-or-treating around our court for the first time, and she did a great job talking to all the neighbors, telling them Happy Halloween, and saying thank you for her candy. After that we went up to Gram and Pop's house to help hand out candy, which she also loved. Based on her excitement about Halloween, we are in for a real treat come Christmas!
