Hooray for Halloween! I woke up this morning all giddy with excitement--you'd think I was 9 years old or something. :) I watched the costumes on The Today Show--those were great! Only saw the first two sets of costumes on Regis & Kelly, so I'm off to look up the rest. I completely forgot to watch Martha--I can't believe it! D'oh. I was totally looking forward to it so I hope I can watch the streaming video on her website later. Darn.I'm wearing my cool orange shirt from Target with the big black crow on the front. Wish it was white instead of orange, but for $5 I was willing to wear orange for one day. Miss Maren is wearing her cute glittery
pumpkin shirt and stripey pants and has already pulled the black & orange ribbon out of her hair--big surprise. We made pumpkin-shaped pancakes this morning and I tried to put chocolate chip faces on them but ended up with a mess. We compromised by just eating the chocolate on the side. :) You can eat chocolate for breakfast on a holiday, right?This will be Maren's first year for Trick-or-Treating and she's been practicing all morning. It didn't take her long to get the hang of it--candy is a BIG motivator for her. :) We'll just take her to our friends' houses up the block, more so we can show her off than anything! She's got a cute mermaid costume to wear and hopefully it won't be so darn cold that she'll have to wear a parka and ruin the whole effect. I made her a pair of seashell hairclips and just whipped up a matching bag for her to tote her treats. When she wakes from her nap I'll get her all dressed up and attempt the usually-fruitless task of trying to get her to sit still so that I can get a decent photo or two to send to the grandmas. Wish me luck!
In the mean time, I'm working on projects for Silver Bella and listening to some of my version of Halloween music. Here's one of my faves:
Why is it that kids seem to know that costume equals pictures so they get extra squirmy?
