Halloween 2007

I vividly remember last Halloween (2006). I was very pregnant and entering my final "morning" sickness phase (turns out it can be at night, too). I raced home from work (missing the first hour of trick-or-treaters) and handed out candy while eating dinner and while using the kitchen sink to deal with the "morning" sickness, all at the same time. Not good. Well, as hectic as all that was, October 31, 2007 was much more hectic. Kate thinks now that she can walk, she can also take on stairs. Stairs going down. While standing. Usually in a cemented area. Needless to say, she took quite a few tumbles tonight in her lovely (hand-wash-only I realized when the night was over!) flower costume. She ended the night with a beautiful, bleeding & bruised forehead. Please enjoy the photos of the pumpkins we finally carved this morning, our trip to Albertson's for trick-or-treating in the afternoon, and our evening in the hood with all of our friends. It was a truly fantastic 1st Halloween!
