sneak peak

How about a little Halloween preview? My Mom was generous enough to pick up the girl's costumes for me from, where else, the Children's Place. Abby has had a pretty serious love affair going on with Sleeping Beauty these days. Last year it was Belle and the year before Cinderella. So, as in years past, Abby wanted to be Sleeping Beauty. Now, as you can imagine, the cost of whole Sleeping Beauty ensemble is beyond budget breaking. The argument can be made that since Abby likes to wear her Princess dresses all the time it's, technically, not a waste of money, rather more of an investment. Luckily my Mom managed to come up with a pink Princess dress that looked enough like Sleeping Beauty's to trick a five year old.

The tiara with the attached veil is perfect for all your imaginary wedding needs.

One thing we did pick up for her were the Official Sleeping Beauty high heels from the Disney Store. The heels actually light up so she'll be easy to find Halloween night. And yes, they have been to church.

Now the great thing about five year olds is they change their minds. A lot. Maybe a witch would be a good idea, but not a bad witch. I want to be a good witch.

And the great thing about the Grandmas of five year olds? They indulge them.

This actually works out okay. For her class party she has to wear her costume to school and I'm thinking the witch dress will make it a little easier for her to get through the day. Oh and Maya, well she's going to be a butterfly, but so far has steadfastly refused to try the costume on. So she may just go as a toddler in a wagon, we'll have to see.

She is ADORABLE. In both costumes. I totally agree with her wearing the witch costume to school, too. It looks a little less flimsy, and less likely to get ruined and hence cause buckets of tears.
That would be my train of thought. I am always looking to prevent envisioned future disasters. :)

PS: Love the shoes.

So adorable--especially the shoes!!!! I feel really deprived that they hadn't invented light up footwear when I was a kid.

Aah, a princess in training complete with tiara and magic shoes. Maybe Maya has it already figured out that she's going to get the candy without all the fuss anyway.

Hey, my toddler daughter is going to be a butterfly (courtesy of Children's Place) too! I would love to see a swarm of toddling pink butterflies, attenaes bobbing, on Halloween. The outfit looks great with crazy tights.

Heidi - that was my thought too.

Thanks Darlene!

Laurel - I feel the same way. Where were my light up shoes?

Suzel - I wouldn't doubt it that Maya is crafty like that.

Ranae - Those are some seriously cute tights. Abby has the ones that match the witches costume too.
