Out we went for trick-or-treating. This year Alexa wanted to be a fairy. She picked out the fabric. I made the dress large enough to fit lots of layers under it. Good thing too because it was about 34 degrees and I saw snow flakes coming down. Chloe was a horse. She wanted to be a black horse which is not a great idea for trick-or-treating, so they were decked out in lots of glow sticks, flashing lights, and pumpkin flashlights. Her costume was warmer since it was made of fleece. She was layered underneath too.
I was hoping to take some pictures while they were out, but Alexa was clutching my hand. She likes the idea of trick-or-treating but has never been a fan of people in costumes. The older kids out there tend to scare her as does any house that has anything remotely creepy outside. I got the after photos though.
As you can see they made out really well and should have enough candy to last quite awhile.
It is possible we may have some explaining to do over a few bad habits. I don't feel completely responsible. I mean Lucy already had a pretty cushy life. As Alexa was quick to point out to me, "Mommy, Jason said we could feed the dog," and she is right. He did. He may not have realized exactly what that would look like in the long run. So for that I publicly apologize for any relentless begging habits that she may have picked up from the girls. You see dinner kind of looks like this around here...
As for our own dog Cabbie, a bit of a double standard holds. He is still sentenced to the "other room" during dinner. He waits out meals times with every bit the envious stares you can imagine, but he stays put.
She loves it Grammie double knit and reversible! Thank you very much. Now Alexa has some mittens in mind...
