Ava’s first candy

Although Ava is almost 4 years old she hasnt had Halloween candy. And last year we took her and Audrey trick or treating at Microsoft (which we are doing again because it’s warm, safe and awesome!) we had to tell her to TAKE the candy. She didnt know what it was and why she was supposed to take it. She wanted the staplers, pens and paper that were in peoples office, not some silly package. When we got home later, she was playing with her candy, sorting it and having adventures. Fun times.

So this morning we had a bag of mixed mini’s on the counter and she saw the shiny bag and asked for one. Being the generous Mom that I am I decided to give her a mini butterfinger. I unwrapped it and she said “Chocolate, mmmmm yummy!” and then it was gone.

I tried to grab some pictures, they are blurry but super cute. While she was eating it she looked really confused. She was totally analyzing the flavor and texture. And she was sure to not let me know how much she liked it. This is what she does when she REALLY likes something, she pretends she doesnt care.

And then after it was swallowed she looked at me, and her eyes say it all. She LOVED it!

So her first candybar experience, it was successful. And I’m really excited for Halloween, she LOVES her spider costume and Audrey is just as cute as a pumpkin! I’ll definately be taking lots of pictures as they make their way through Microsoft for goodies and then for the party and dinner after.

Of course, then it’s back home for the Gina K party and the MFT party on SCS!

I should hopefully be able to make something fun tonight. This weekend was so busy with my treck into the scary city, and then on Sunday it was more shopping for the girls Christmas outfits and my first trip to the Gymboree outlet. Can you say SCORE?!?!?!
