Friday night we went to the harvest festival in kapalua. It was really fun - horse rides, bouncy castle, games & food. Erik was able to go on the horse with kalia, so she was very, very excited - and you know Erik was too! When we were going to bed that night he said, "I got to ride a horse today."

Saturday - Halloween we really filled the day. In the morning, we opened the halloween packages from Auntie Kim, Uncle Jay & cousins and from Tutu & Grandpa. We had fun trying on the googley eye glasses, looking at stickers, books & eating treats. Kalia was also really excited to get the new tinkerbell movie from tutu & grandpa! That morning we carved pumpkins and I actually roasted the seeds this year and they came out really yummy! Kalia spent the day practicing what daddy taught her, "trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat." Oh, when we were carving pumpkins, since kalia saw me draw a face on the pumpkin before carving - she wanted to draw faces on the pumpkin. She spent the longest time, drawing faces all around the pumpkin and then carefully putting stickers on it - it was really cute.

Then we headed down to the keiki parade in lahaina with cousins shannin & sophie. The parade was really fun - kalia walked the whole way and was happy to get some candy! Kalia hadn't taken a nap, so she actually fell asleep in the stroller on the way back to the car! After a couple late naps for the girls, we headed to Pohailani for our mom's group halloween party and then home to get maya to bed. Erik took kalia trick or treating around the neighborhood and 8 doors later she had a full basket and was so excited, I can't even explain it! I got to take her to our neighbor Martin's house and she just walked up to the door and said, "trick or treat!" She was really into it! Then we got home and I was really into showing kalia how to sort her candy (i know, she gets her craziness from me). So far, she really hasn't been asking for her candy. She ate one that night and didn't finish it - ate it the next day and one today after her rest time, but I had to remind her. Halloween night we stayed up really late and watched the new Tinkerbell movie and ate popcorn. It was so fun! Kalia did the most amazing dance for us at the beginning and end of the movie with the music.

Erik is on Oahu right now for a training meeting and won't be home until tomorrow night! Miss him!
