Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you enjoyed your day as much as we did. It really was wonderful.
Meltdown free!
The girls were so happy and excited to get out and trick or treat in their costumes. They have been waiting and anticipating since the start of the month when we first started talking about it. Princess asked daily….”Is it Haw-oween yet?” or she would tell us as she went to bed, “Happy Haw-oween!” Love it. It’s official. It’s their favorite holiday!
They both were very clear about what they wanted to be for Halloween. Princess wanted to be a mermaid and Firecracker wanted to be a witch. Funny how it fits their personalities. I bought Princess M’s mermaid costume but I fashioned up a matching headband and wand. I made Firecracker’s shirt, cut up some socks for her leg warmers, found the skirt and wings from Old Navy for 5 bucks, and attached the witch’s hat (dollar bin at target) to a headband so it would stay on!
They both loved their costumes and looked adorable!
They were off and running immediately, going from house to house. They were so cute and so polite.
I was happy and proud of them both.
Every now and then they would stop and do a candy assessment. A check of their loot.
They took time to stop and play in the leaves.
They took advantage of loved ones when they were tired and really enjoyed that Grandma and Baba were along for the ride.
When we got home they “helped” make their jack-o-lanterns.
Each of them dictated to me how and what they wanted to see on their pumpkin’s face.
They topped off the night with assisting in making the pumpkin pie and creating their own pumpkin pictures!
I love days like these. Happy Halloween.
I hope your day was spooktacular too.
