Halloween

Ok, I better write this down before I forget!

The week of Halloween was a busy one and it started on Monday when we went to BOO in the Zoo with some friends. Olivia was going to be a lady bug and wore the costume once and never put it back on. She wanted to be the octopus (costume from 2 years ago) and yes it fit, technically, but was too short in the legs and arms. Well, about an hour before we were to leave, she decided she didn't want to be an octopus anymore. She wanted to be a princess fairy, so we got her dress up box out and she picked her costume by herself. Boo in the Zoo was cute, the kids trick r treated and did carnival games. Olivia of course missed her nap and was grumpy and mostly sat in the stroller. Malaki was a bee!


Thursday was a costume party at school. She changed her costume to be a ballerina. She actually let me do ballerina hair! But we didn't really have ballerina items, so while she was in school I went to Target and got her real ballerina slippers and leotard.


When she got home from school and saw her "new costume" she was in heaven. She put them on and wore the new costume to the Ward's Trunk r treat that night and slept in it and wanted to wear it again the next day but I told her no because it needed to be washed! So by the time the real Halloween came around, she decided that she didn't want to go trick r treating and we stayed home with a friend.



Here she is practicing her ballerina moves.
