Halloween 2008

Juliana had a busy and fun halloween. She wore a Snow White costume (from the dress-up bin) to school in the morning and they had a busy day which included - carving a pumpkin and cooking the seeds, decorating smaller individual pumpkins, a costume parade through the school, an ice cream sundae party, art projects and other fun. She came home wound-up and ready for more.




















For trick-or-treating she wore the Jasmine costume that we purchased at Disney World last year - I added a clip to the back of the pants to keep them up, other than that they fit fine. We did add a long-sleeve shirt underneath - it was a wam evening, but not warm enough for an exposed little belly.






















She insisted on silver sparkle shoes for trick-or-treating, but they only lasted a few houses - she would run from the sidewalk to the front door and lose the shoes along the way, and keep running. So she walked in her tights for a while until we finished the block and walked back to the house to change into more street-worthy shoes and dump the first load of candy. We spent about an hour trick-or-treating and she was getting tired of walking so we went home, had a lollypop and went to bed.

Halloween Monkey

Juliana was very excited to get dressed in her costume. We did a quick practice run at home - of course she wanted to open the treat right away...

















After about 4 houses, she sat down on the sidewalk to go through her bucket of treats - she seemed satisfied with what she had already. Then we walked some more. We spent about 45 minutes out walking and stopped at about 20 houses. She was ready to go home at that point.
She had lots of fun and had no fear about knocking on doors and talking to people. She was especially excited if there were dogs or cats that she could see and pet.
