Baby #2: 24 Week Update and Halloween

We have been looking forward to Halloween for the last few weeks. Gianna learned a pirate song at school that quickly became one of her favorites. She knows all the words and sings it all the time. When I stumbled across a preggo Halloween shirt on Amazon that had a little baby boy pirate skeleton I knew what the fam was going to be this year! Pirates! Argggg! :)

Gianna was SO excited! We went in search of the perfect pirate costume and made a really big deal out of it when we found one. She kept saying, "I be a pirate!" and would carry around her costume. We had to pry it away from her to buy it. We rehearsed trick or treating in the days leading up to Halloween so she would know what to expect and she had it down the day of. We had a little party at our house and there were about ten of us. It was such a fun night!

I don't need candy, mom. I have goldfish!

We went around the cul de sac and visited our neighbors then went around the neighborhood a bit. She did such a good job saying "Trick or Treat" and "Thank You". She is such a polite and sweet little girl. There were a few dogs along the way that stole her attention, especially the one that was dressed up. :)

When we got back to the house, Gianna had a blast transferring the candy from bucket to bucket! I think this was more fun than actually getting the candy.

With her booty!
