UPDATE: Update: Happy Halloween!
Anya was supposed to be Madeline for Halloween but she refused to put on her costume on Halloween so I’m glad I got this photo of her at a Halloween party hosted by CBB Reviews Editor Teba the day before Halloween. (Costume from Lillian Vernon.)
The second photo is from our town’s Halloween parade and I think she enjoyed watching the other kids in their costumes but whenever we asked if she wanted to put on her costume, she said, "no-no." Josh and I ended up wearing the hat.
She DID have lots of fun handing out pretzels and chocolate to the kids. We sat on our stoop and waited but in the beginning, there were very few kids coming by so she started calling out, "Boys! Gulls! Come! Petzels!"
Please post a comment with a link to your child dressed up for Halloween! (Try tinypic.com for hosting.)

Hehe… “Gulls” and “Petzels”. Love it! And Anya made for a sweet little Madeline. All the kids look great in their costumes. I’d take them all home, but if not all, can I take Antonia? I adore her as a little lioness!

She said “Yeehaw!” Whenever somebody said, “Oh, what a cute little cowgirl!”. It was too funny.

I have 2.5 yr old twins, my hubby’s a former Texas A&M Aggie, so my son went as an Aggie football player and my daughter was an Aggie cheerleader. I would have made my daughter Madeline if I hadn’t gone along with his wish.
