our little fairy

Happy Halloween!! What a totally fun holiday! Maelin remembered last Halloween enough to be really excited about the whole thing this year. And thankfully Daddy doesn't mind having 'pumpkin carving' on his list of responsibilities :) He and Maelin carved two...both of which were proudly displayed on the front porch until they rotted and attracted the bees. Ugh.

Here's our little goblin! This year Maelin when i asked Maelin what she wanted to be for Halloween, she said that she wanted to wear the fairy costume in the dress-up box under her bed - haha! A money-saver to be sure, but i really wanted to buy her something cuter. So i went on a fairy costume hunt and found this one at The Children's Place. I love that store :)

Maelin spent the morning trick-or-treating and scavenger-hunting at school, and in the evening we made the rounds in North Branch. We started at Nana and Papa's, went to great gramps and gram's house, stopped to see a few aunts and uncles, and then rounded out the night at Grandpa Les and Grandma Pam's place.

How cute, but she looks more like a little princess to me :) isn't it fun to watch their excitment. Daddy did a great job on the pumpkin

I can remember when I shopped at the Children's Place loved it too. Got some good bargins in there.

Bet she was tired after an exciting day as were some other goblins I know! Austin looked so darn cute in his Scooby Do costume, He had a blast at school which he loves btw, he's in pre-k can you believe it, and we went "Trunk or Treating" at the church instead of door to door trick or treating. They had games for the kids, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, drinks, and plenty of candy in the trunks of the cars! It was open to the community. There was a fire truck for the kids to climb all over and an ambulance and police car to blow sirens, don't know who enjoyed the evening more the kids or the adults, everybody had a good time.

Hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are having family and friends for dinner!
