Trick or Treat 2013

I'm really not a Halloween fan, but when you have a school-aged kiddo in the house, it's kind of hard to ignore these sorts of holidays! Luckily, Sam is a pretty easy girl when it comes to costumes - last year she was a cow (easy peasy lemon squeezy, especially with our Pineland Farm bell collection :-) ) and this year she wanted to be Hello Kitty and wear the cute Hello Kitty Halloween shirt given to her by Susie and Lillie last year for her birthday. Add a tutu, some Hello Kitty socks and crocs, white mittens, and a fairly easy homemade Hello Kitty ear headband, and viola, we were done. I even added a little bedazzling to Hello Kitty's bow, as suggested by our friend James :-)

Sam was very excited for today. There was the costume! The Halloween parade at daycare! The treats for her friends! Trick or treating with Annie! And Sea Dog for dinner after! The thought of it all, along with the taper madness, left me feeling a little crazy this morning, but it really did turn out to be a fun day. Best of all, Sam doesn't like chocolate so I got to eat a few Reese's Peanut Butter cups tonight - yum ;)

Hello Kitty, ready to start the day!

Look at all these crazy kiddos!

It was raining so we were very happy to be walking along the covered sidewalk!

Happy Halloween everyone!
