Halloween '09

Happy Halloween!!

Guess what Belle dressed as??

No, she was not a pumpkin, not a pea pod, not a superhero, not Elmo, not a ballerina, & definitely not a princess.

I'm not too fond of princess costumes. Uncomfortable, puffy dresses in tacky glittery colors in transparent fabric doesn't thrill me. It's not...cute.

If you haven't guessed yet, Belle dressed as....

Belle Little! or simply a chicken. Doesn't it suit her perfectly?! I bought this costume in September with no intention of going Halloween shopping. At Old Navy, my sister spotted this costume. We imagined Belle wearing it & we bursted out laughing. We HAD to get it.

Hooray for a family picture! We can't take a family picture with Belle not dressed up as anything. Watching her Baby Mcdonald Einstein gave me the idea to dress up as farmers to compliment this chicken. Aris laughed & agreed.

Trick or treat adventure:

Saw these fun pumpkins at a neighbor's house. Belle is feeding them a tootsie roll.

"Hurry up Mom!"

When we got home, everybody was caught up in the Yankee game while Belle quietly played with her candy & pumpkin bucket. She was too quiet until Aris turned around. She opened a snickers bar & was already half way through eating it! Silly baby.

This chicken jacket is so warm, comfty, & soft. Aris mentioned how it should be used on a daily basis. Not just a one time use. It's suitable for the cold weather nowadays so why not?!

And today, she wore this jacket to church. I think I deserve to be called a cool mom.
