Halloween Princess

This morning was Phase-One-O-Halloween-Fun & we hit a cute little downtown area to trick-or-treat at all of the stores.

Halloween Princess was ready to go in her fabulously fancy skirt & t-shirt from Grandma. She practiced saying 'trick-or-treat' all the way there. (And I practiced reminding her to say thank you.)

As we walked down the street, she kept saying "When do I get to say it again? I want to say trick-or-treat again!" Seriously, she doesn't even like most of the candy - she just want to say the magic words & get something fun to put in her bucket. Although at the end of the morning, she discovered that she loves lollipops - especially the ones that turn her tongue blue!

I appreciated the stores that gave away crayons & bubbles & playdough & books. (Really - there was a store giving away used children's books - brilliant!) My favorites were the stores that used the event as a marketing opportunity for all the moms & gave away samples of fun shampoos and skin care products. Woohoo!

Now we're taking a break to come down from the lollipop-induced-sugar-high before we get dressed up in costume #2 & head out to the big faux-halloween event at church.

Seems like the perfect time for mom to raid the pink candy bucket!!
