First of all, the pumpkin carving. Cora was interested in stirring the pumpkin seeds, but not at all interested in touching them.
We decided to carve it in a "Cora's Coloring" theme so she could be more involved. Every time she sits down to color she says, "coloring heart, kirkle (circle), quare (square). So we took the easy route and just carved a heart, circle and square after she was done.
On Halloween night we went to the vigil mass for All Saints Day so we got off to a late start trick-or-treating. As you can see, Cora enjoyed her first piece of candy in the car on the way home. I guess she was a purple princess? I wanted her to be Pocahontas but I couldn't find anything that worked. But she loved her costume! She even insisted on wearing it to mass. I thought there might be other kids there dressed up. Nope. Mom of the year.
But she really loved trick-or-treating. Especially since John and "Beth" were there. She was a little timid at first, but after a couple houses we were having trouble keeping up with her.
Look at all that candy!! Not bad for a first timer!
