It's the most wonderful time....of the year


Yes folks, as most of you know I'm a HUGE Halloween fan. So I'm a bit late on this posting but we're down with an ear infection and strep on the little man so this is how it goes :0) Tis the season as my pediatrician said to me today. But back to Halloween......We started off our morning with a wonderful Halloween treat - Candy Corn. God Bless the creators of this wonderful thing! Jimmo will have to wait a few years to enjoy this treat but he had some yummy waffles instead!


Miss Terrific Teacher invited Princess and I for the Harvest Party. I was tasked with bringing the supplies for GFCF rice krispie treats. Jimmo was a bit tired for the party but he managed to participate in helping assemble the treats together with the teacher. and then quickly went back to his own business of reading his book.
And finally it's off to trick or treating. Jimmo's costume has been set for awhile - he was going to be a monkey. However Princess must have changed her mind about 20 different times from August till October 1st. Hubby gave her a deadline to bring an end to this wishy washy nonsense. Most 4.5 year old girls are princesses/fairies or something of that nature. Not this girl - she wanted to be a skunk. Yes a stinky skunk. It mostly has to do with an obsession she has for tails. And she was very excited that both her and brother Jimmo would have tails. So here are a few shots of our zoo?? Pre and post make up. Jimmo was really not into the in and out of the wagon scenario. Perhaps next year we'll have to change up our strategy a bit.

Long night - time for bed!

So cute! I love that she wanted to be a skunk.

Candy corn for breakfast? Can you start posting "how to make things special" to to help the rest of us?
