Halloween!

Our Halloween started early Friday morning. Ruth Washburn lets the kids come to class in costumes if they wish, and Mia chose to dress up as a ballerina in on of my old recital costumes! We added some leg warmers and a turtleneck to make it weather appropriate.

She climbed in her box and watched PBS until I got it together enough to leave!

Halloween night, she dressed up as Belle in a costume that Mimmy sent last month. We made a loop around the neighborhood. She actually said "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" this year! There were a few people in the neighborhood that had creepy costumes and props like very loud chainsaws. She was the bravest little princess! She looked at Chainsaw Guy and walked right by him to the bowl of candy that he was "guarding" and even told him "Thank you!" The only thing she didn't do was go into a neighbor's garage that was super dark and set up like a mad scientist lab...or something. We're not sure since we didn't go in! After we came back to our house we sat outside and handed out candy. I think that was more fun for her. Someone put a little miniature My Little Pony in her bag instead of candy, so it really didn't matter to her that she couldn't eat any of it! She slept with it and chose to name it Cuties!
