In a house where we play dress-up on a daily basis, selecting a costume for Halloween can get a little tricky. So it was a good thing that we had several different Halloween events–all of which called for costumes–to attend. The first was our MOMS Club Halloween party. For this party, Ana was a purple fairy.
Then the day before Halloween we went to the Pumpkin Fest at Conestoga Rec Center. I let Ana pick a costume in her dress up bin and told her we would dress up in costumes to go along with her. First Ana picked Snow White. She asked Sim to be Prince Charming and wanted me to be the Evil Queen. Then she changed her mind and wanted to be Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty, for those of you not in the princess loop). She decided Sim would be a great Prince Charming and I should be Maleficent. (Notice I was once again cast as the villain.) So I got into my spooky costume but as soon as Ana saw me she stammered, “No. No, no, no. Noooo. NO.” I guess I made a pretty convincing evil witch because she quickly decided I made a much better nice Queen and asked me to be Aurora’s mom instead. We decided based on that Sim should be her dad, the King.
For Halloween night, I am more particular about Ana’s costume. In fact, I have two requirements. #1. Ana has to be able to wear her costume in the car seat. (I don’t want to have to change her outfit each time we climb in and out of the car.) #2. It has to keep her warm enough that I don’t have to cover it up with a coat. (Here in the Pacific Northwest, our Halloweens are always cold and/or rainy.) So we dressed Ana up as a nice cuddly monkey.
You all had spectacular costumes. Too bad Daddy didn’t snap a picture of you, as the wicked witch, with the horns and red apple. Must have been very impressive for Ana to say “no no no nooooo NO !” Hope you all had fun @ the party : ) Love, Mom/Nana
