The Real Halloween...

So last night was finally Halloween and I no longer have to hide Sydney's costume from her (she wanted to wear it ALL OF THE TIME).

I also found out that there wasn't really a reason to hide it from her because by the third house her wings were broken - sad! She also refused to wear a crown last night. So for (the real) Halloween, Sydney was a ballerina, not a ballerina-fairy-princess like she told me she wanted to be. At last she was what she wanted, and that's all that matters.

According to Donnie, Halloween ranks second in the holiday department (right after Christmas), so last night was a big deal for him too. He loves to go trick or treating! He loves to pick out neighborhoods weeks in advance and concoct plans on how to acquire the maximum candy load. It's really kind of funny to see how excited he gets.

We went trick or treating with Deidra, Jeannette, Dustin, and all of the kids. Jaxon and I tagged along for one street then we went back to Deidra's.


At one house, the lady said, "When I see a tutu I expect some entertaintainment. Are you going to do a little dance?" Sydney set down her bag and started spinning around in circles, singing "Dance, dance, dance." It was so cute. I wish we would have recorded it.


Then a few houses later Sydney just sat down on the porch with another lady as she was handing out candy. She just started talking to her. It was so funny! As we walked from house to house Sydney would sing songs she made up about Halloween.







































Sydney absolutely loved it and probably could have gone around all night begging for candy, but they came home around 9:30.

Donnie hasn't changed a bit. I remember he'd eat nearly all of his candy the first few days. The boy loves candy!
