halloween (10.27-10.30.10)

What’s better than being able to dress up for Halloween on one night? Dressing up almost every day for a whole week! This year, somehow, I remembered to order her a costume ahead of time and this year, somehow, she was fine wearing it as long as she had on tights (so that the skirt didn’t itch her) and a shirt underneath (so that the top didn’t itch her). We even managed to talk her into wearing the hat later in the week when Gramy fashioned a way for her to tie it so it wouldn’t fall off her head. She was definitely the cutest witch that I’ve ever seen.

Because I was put on temporary bedrest, Daddy had to take over almost all Halloween duties that week. It was a change for Brittain, but she loved every second of having her Daddy with her.

Halloween night itself is fortunately pretty easy for us. We have enough family members in town that Brittain never feels cheated when it comes to trick-or-treating…or how much candy/treats she gets. By the time we headed home that evening, the entire back of my car was filled with all kinds of goodies.

Apparently, as of right now, Halloween is Brittain’s favorite holiday of the year. (This is what she told me).


Ava’s 4th birthday (10.23 and 10.24.10)

We decided to make Ava’s birthday a whole weekend celebration so the next day we decided to go back over and continue the party. Ava absolutely LOVES dressing up princess-style. I think Brittain would like it more, but she doesn’t enjoy the itchiness of the dress or if it doesn’t fit exactly like she wants. Somehow Ava is able to talk her into it, but notice that Brittain still has her full outfit on underneath the dress up clothes.

I don’t mean to be a downer, but I’ve yet to figure out the real joy in going to this place for a field trip. For two years now, I have built it up to Brittain and she’s been thrilled about it. But for the second year, the thrill for her (and definitely for me) ended with the hayride which was only the very first part of the day.

I suppose I shouldn’t complain too much. Honestly, just being able to spend the time with Brittain is always fun. And this year even Mimi got to come along and join in the outdoor fun.
