Elizabeth was so excited to be Tinkerbell tonight that it was nearly
impossible for me to get her to take a quick nap. The last thing I
wanted was a grumpy Tinkerbell! She did FINALLY go down for a short
nap about 4pm. She only needed about 30 minutes to be pleasant tonight & thankfully she was.
ANYWAY, we took the girls into town for Halloween tonight. I had
wanted to make Charlotte's costume SOOO bad but with everything being such a hectic mess this pass month....on top of both girls being sick the past week & me STILL being sick....the Mermaid costume I was so excited to make just didn't get finished.
Instead, Charlotte wore Elizabeth's cheerleader costume from her first
Halloween. I was expecting it to be WAAAAYYY too big for her, but it
fit her well enough. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to finish
the Mermaid though.
Back to tonight, we did some door-to-door Trick or Treating right
around the park that we went to. The park was the site of the 32nd
annual Halloween Carnival. Organizations come & set up booths with
games & activities while the city supplies all of the carnival
participants with candy. Well lit AND safe. That is a winning
combination. Toss in FREE & it's unbeatable!
The booths surrounded the outside edge of the football field at the
local high school. This was no small carnival. We didn't have time to
see it all. She got to play games, have her hand painted & got candy
at each booth. She also got to meet Chester Cheetah, Twinkie the Kid
& Cracker Jack.
Her costume was turning heads left & right. I heard people of all ages
saying "Look! It's Tinkerbell! She is SOOO cute!" She was so busy
pointing out all of the Darth Vader, Spiderman, Batman, witch &
animal costumes she didn't even hear most of the people saying she was
cute. Several people even had their dogs with them & in costume.
Saturday night we were on our way to Wal-Mart when "Mr. Incredible"
pulled up in a convertible & jumped out to get $ from an ATM. She went
NUTS when we yelled "Hi Mr. Incredible!" & waved. Then he waved back. She was jumping up & down yelling "Mommy! Mommy! Mr. Incredible WAVED at ME!"
I hope you all enjoyed "Halloween" or as some call it "Samhain".
