I sent Autumn to school today w/ my witch costume so she could wear it during their costume parade around the school after lunch time. She was in a bad mood when I picked her up and didn’t want me to take her picture, but I told her she had to…hence the super excited/happy face. LOL!
I finally got her to warm up and then she was being super silly and crazy.
I finally got her to do a nice one by threatening to take away her Halloween candy. I am so glad that Mom saved my costume from back when I was a kid so that Autumn can wear it now. And I’ll save it for her so that her daughter can wear it someday. I first tried it on her back in 2008 and it was way too big. Now it’s too small (the dress is too short), but that’s OK. It’s fun that both of Autumn’s costumes for this Halloween were hand-me-downs from me & Lexie.
We had left over egg rolls and fried rice for dinner and watched a few recorded episodes of the Biggest Loser since I didn’t watch any episodes while Mom was gone to Germany. We only had 2 kids come knock on the door for candy. Luckily Autumn is too young to understand what she’s missing out on, b/c we didn’t do any door-to-door trick or treating. But, I don’t feel like a bad Mom b/c she went to 3 Halloween parties (Fall Social at her school and Church trunk-or-treat on Saturday and her school party today). So, she still got a good Halloween experience even if we didn’t do traditional trick or treating. She might feel differently if we were at our own house, b/c we live in a neighborhood w/ a lot of kids, but no one comes to my parent’s house. Plus, I think she has more fun handing out the candy anwyays.
We finally came home around 9:00 so I could get her to bed. She usually sleeps in just her undies, but tonight when I went to go to bed I noticed that she had gone in her room and gotten in her footed jamies. I LOVE these b/c they make her look like a little little girl instead of my growing up to fast 4 1/2 year old.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2011
