In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines...

 Happy Halloween from Madeline, Miss Clavell and the Spanish Ambassador! We had a blast trick or treating with Charlotte. Well, when she actually decided to walk up and get the candy herself instead of making us get it:) We had a Halloween feast of beef stew in a pumpkin, rolls, and a pumpkin cake after. Yummy!

Bob's Corn

The rain finally cleared up yesterday, so we decided to go to a pumpkin patch. We met up with one of Charlotte's friends and walked around the pumpkin patch. Charlotte and her friend loved playing with the enormous pumpkins in the pumpkin patches, but decided that they preferred the tiny pumpkins. I love Fall in Washington. 

 Seriously, she loved the pumpkins...

 That's Charlotte's friend with the mohawk on the right. She wasn't so sure about him...:)

This is the cow train. We didn't ride because we thought that Charlotte would jump out or something. Maybe in a few years. 

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween! We skipped the trick-or-treating this year,but we had fewer people come to our door than we planned so we have PLENTY of candy. They had trick-or-treating at the U Village mall next door, so we walked around to see all the other kids and show off our costumes:) We had a delicious and festive dinner of pumpkin bread bowls and pumpkin beef stew and candy for dessert, of course. 

Little Elephant

Charlotte dressed as a cute little elephant for her first Halloween. Actually first trunk-or-treat. 

We held her hands and she walked around like a big kid getting candy. 

Pumpkins!

We carved pumpkins on Monday night. We thought Charlotte would be all over the seeds and mush from inside, but she just watched in amazement and pounded her hands on the pumpkins. The little one is supposed to be the Charlotte pumpkin with fangs and three teeth on the bottom. 

She loves her big pacifier!
