A Dawdy Halloween

Halloween this year was pretty low key at our house this year. I got the box of decorations out but only managed to get a spider web light hung up in the kids' room and that was just to get Ethan off of my back.

Halloween Day went like this...

Pumpkin Carving in the morning: Trick or treating at night: Ethan, Megatron. Emilee, Cinderella (see below)

Of course we had our yummy Homemade donuts and Hot Cider for all of those that came to our house. We really do love having our friends come over and partake in this tradition with us. We have great friends and neighbors, we love living here.

Funny Emilee story:

This year Emilee decided that she wanted to be Snow White for Halloween. We went looking for costumes. I soon found out that people who make princess costumes most definitely do not live in Utah. We found a 4T snow white costume but it had a short skirt. Honestly, for a 4 year old? What Disney princess have you seen with a short skirt? I can maybe understand an adult short-skirted Snow White, if they were going as Skanky White, but really a 4 year old?

Anyway, we eventually found a long Snow White dress that was more appropriate for Emilee. It was $20 and I paid it because I felt like she could use it as a dress up after Halloween. She wore it for a few Halloween parties and seemed to love it, fantastic!

Then came Halloween night, we went to get costumes on and Emilee decided that she did not want to be Snow White for Halloween, but Cinderella. She was Cinderella last year. I was getting mad thinking, why did I spend money on Snow White if you are not even going to wear the stinkin' costume. Well I was all flustered at her and trying to get things together and I said, "you are going as Sleeping Beauty. That is the costume I bought and you are wearing it!" She looked at me and said, "Okay I will be Sleeping Beauty." Good. I thought I had won the battle. I get out the Snow White dress and She says: "No I want Sleeping Beauty." Now a light clicks on in my head, I did say Sleeping Beauty didn't I? CRAP! I said, "Em I am sorry I don't have Sleeping Beauty, you can be Snow White." "No I want to be Cinderella!" I was so confused and so fed up that I gave in.

Note to self: Don't buy costumes too far ahead of time. Better yet, put together a make shift costume the night before.

Until next year...
