The past few weeks have been touchy with Megan's Halloween costume. She would love it one day and then hate it a few days later and give me a hard time about getting into it. But today, she asked me to put it on her, no complaints, no arguments. She didn't even complain about wearing a tiara (not the one for the actual costume, she didn't like that one).
This morning when Daddy went to get her out of bed, he told her it was Halloween. She immediately started chanting the song she learned from Dora, "Halloween, Halloween, Trick or Treat. Our costumes can't be beat!" As we went about our errands, she wished everyone we saw a Happy Halloweeeeen and even got a few pieces of candy from cashiers at the stores.
Tonight, as she stepped out the garage door and down the driveway, she was in awe as she entered a Halloween wonderland. There was so much to see, little kids, big kids and even dogs in costumes, big blow up decorations and scarecrows who looked fake, but really talked! (she wasn't scared either, just called them silly!) It took her a moment to recognize her neighborhood friends, but she figured it out pretty quickly. It was truly magical for her and she hummed a little tune from house to house. When we got home, she was done. She dumped out all of her candy on the kitchen floor (just like last year!) and inspected each piece asking "what's that?"
It was so much fun seeing Halloween through her eyes. The holidays have begun. I can't wait until Christmas!
Our little Fairy
So much to see!
A little hesitant before going in the spooky house.
Megan was very sad to see them go. She watched their car, waved and blew kisses until it was out of sight. But we'll see them again sooner than she thinks.
