The Frog Prince and the Fairy Princess

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I am so glad that Halloween is officially over. We had a lot of fun, but it was work! By the end of it, Sarah was tired of it too. We went to a trunk 'or' treat, trick or treating on Halloween, and a Halloween party at our friend's house the day after. That's 3 parties!

I did have a lot of fun dressing up the kids this year. Sarah was a fairy princess and Bebo was the frog prince. I found the frog costume at Kid's Market and sewed a crown on the top of it (cute, huh?). Sarah's costume is left over from Brooke's wedding. She was the flowergirl and they dressed her up like a fairy and had her throw ivy leaves. We used the costume for her birthday party too. She wanted a fairy theme. I think it's time to retire the tutu... hahaha.









Sarah enjoyed trick or treating, but did get a little frightened every once in a while. I really don't like the nasty costumes of blood and guts. I don't think kids should wear stuff like that. It just seems unatural to me.

I carried Bebo around in the Baby Bjorn while we walked around. People got a kick out of him. Of course he slept the whole time! One lady thought he was my costume, which didn't make much sense to me. (Like I had dressed up with a frog growing out of my stomach... hmmm.)



Aaron liked the thought of all the candy. As soon as we got back, he took Sarah's pail to "inspect" the candy. Yeah, right. He's still eating off of it. Of course we let her have some of it, but a lot of the candy she's not ready for yet.

I'm already planning the kid's costumes for next year. Maybe Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion? I would love it if anyone has some good suggestions. Bebo will probably be walking by that time (ahhhhh!).
