A Mouse and a Jack-O-Lantern

So on Halloween, I dressed Rowan up in a borrowed Halloween onesie and subjected her to a few flash-bulbs.
She had no clue what it was all about, but she took it in stride. This was good, since it was nothing compared to what was coming...

First, we had a mouse...Minnie Mouse to be exact.

Mickey, eat your heart out!

This Minnie Mouse didn't know what was going on, per say, but she liked her costume well-enough, especially when she was allowed to color in it!

What's the big deal with coloring you might wonder? Well since our resident two-year-old genius eats crayons...coloring is a monitored and therefore, limited activity!

Still we think she made a darn good Minnie!

And Rowan, well she's just the cutest darn Jack-O-Lantern we've ever seen!

"Again, with the pictures Mommy?" Rowan groaned.

"Oh well, might as well enjoy the inevitable." Then it was down to Grammy and Grampy's house where we celebrated the real fun of Halloween.

Walking around the very crooked sidewalks...

and falling asleep...

while big sister begs for chocolate.

And quite a beggar she turned out to be.

As you can see, Kaylee quickly ditched her Minnie Mouse ears.

"Mommy," she told me, "My character is very recognizable. I hardly need the ears for people to know who I am!"

It was hard to argue with that logic, and with a mouse for that matter!

And that was our Halloween! Hope yours was Happy too!
