Well yesterday was Halloween and A Bird had been very patient waiting for it to come, even though she asked just about every day if it was Halloween yet. It also helped that she got a lot of use out of her costume. She wore it in ten minutes spurts just about every day. She took it to Grandma Pat’s, to daycare, she tried wearing it to the store one day until she sat down in her car seat and threw a complete hissy because “it made her seat too tight and was too scratchy”. Seriously, we got our twelve bucks worth out of this thing.
She was a fairy/princess. It started out as a fairy costume but the wings that velcro’d onto the back irritated the hell out of her so she ripped them off and found a tiara and made herself a princess, which we all know is what she really wants to be anyway.
Last year my Pop and Step Mom came down to see A Bird in her costume, well they one up’d themselves this year. They came down and went out with us Trick or Treating. So I pulled out the wagon, dusted her off, then tricked it out with two heavy blankets and some glow in the dark bracelets. That’s right, we were big pimpin’ in the little red wagon.
A Bird testing one of her treats. She looks pretty cozy right?
Waiting patiently for someone to answer the door with Grandma.
After we made our way around the two grand blocks of our little village, A Bird had made a pretty decent haul in her bag, so we turned the wagon towards home and parked it like it’s hot. We quickly turned on our light to get some of the later trick or treaters to come and raid our candy dish, it didn’t take long until our candy was gone. So we turned out the lights, settled A Bird down and reflected on a great Halloween. Then A Bird finally drifted off into a deep a sleep, I’m still not sure if it was pure exhaustion/bliss or just a sugar induced coma, just kidding. IT was a combination of the two!
