Happy Hawwoween

That's how Em says it, with her little fingers wiggling by her face in a sort of a whisper. She makes me laugh a lot.
This year I decided she will be dressed up as Abby Cadabby for Halloween.

I love that I get to choose her outfits right now ;)
I "made" her costume this year. Made is in quotations because I barely did anything.
Here is what I did:



1) I took one of Ems super fancy dresses that she got from her grandma.

2) Then I took one of stretchy head bands and cut some tulle and threaded and tied to the bottom row of the  headband. 

3)Then I took the tulle/headband/skirt and slipped it over the dress. 

4) Then I made some pom poms from yarn.

5) I pinned and clipped the pom poms to Ems puffy pony tails on top of her head. Put some dollar store wings on her (which we got for free from a b-day party). And Alakazam...Abby Cadabby!

During the judging Em refused to stand in line. 

This is how Em looks often. So pleasant. 

We went to a party last week and a barn party over the weekend before Sandy hit. Trick or Treating is going on today...but its kinda cold out and I have the new LO now. Hubs has to be at church, so I'm not taking Em and the baby trick or treating by myself. I will say I feel some  guilt about this.
But I tell myself this:
1) She doesnt know what she is missing
2) She cant have all that candy (mom can but shouldnt)
3) Im not sure she will have fun. She hates being made to be social. It takes her a while to warm up and relax and so walking up to several strange people might be a little overwhelming for her and us.

So BACK-OFF MOM GUILT! I will not have it!
Happy Hawwoween!
