Halloween

On Friday, October 28, there was a Trunk or Treat/Halloween carnival at the church. I never had to wonder what Maci was going to be for Halloween. I had her outfit in my possession in April. Yup, been planning it that long. I've been waiting a long time to dress my child up for Halloween. Now it was finally here!!!
I can't believe how good she was when I was putting on her face paint. When I put it on her nose, she would rub it off so I had to have David hold her arms for a few seconds to let it dry.
Here she is getting her onesie on so she doesn't get too hot.
Seeing her Tigger suit. I think she was excited for it.
Waiting in mom and dad's room for us to finish getting ready.
Dad putting on the finishing touch with her new Pooh slippers. She loves those things!
And here is the whole family. A momma Tigger, and a daddy Pooh makes a baby Tigger! The momma Tigger genes won. What a cute family we are.
I am just glad David actually dressed up this year. I think it is all thanks to Maci. I have had my Tigger suit for 10 years and each year that I wear it, I try to get David to dress as Pooh. He finally said, I will only dress up as Pooh if I have ears. Ya, right, how was I going to get ears in less than 24 hours with the town of Glendive as my shopping mall? So, I went to Kmart and bought a headband, went to the Attic (2nd hand store) grabbed the bear that I had donated a month ago for $.50. Then ripped the ears off (this is the time where I felt like an awful, vindictive person. I mean I was ripping the ears off a cute teddy bear!!!) I got over it and sewed the ears onto the headband and voila! Pooh ears! I had never been so proud of my non-sewing skills (until I made Maci's birthday tutu - coming in another post). We got so many compliments that night for dressing up as a family. Thanks, dear, for making two dreams come true tonight!
Here she is after dinner. I was afraid she would get too hot (b/c I was dying in my suit) I don't think she ever got uncomfortable in it. As always, she was a trooper.
This is what she wore for Halloween day. We were ready for trick-or-treaters. Each time the door bell rang, she would get all excited and race to the door so she could see the kids. There were probably 30 kids that came this year. That is a lot for us, but good, it got rid of the candy. We didn't want to take Maci around because we would be stuck eating most of her candy. Maybe next year.
