Halloween fun

Halloween is fun when there is a toddler in the house. It's also fun when said toddler decides, on a whim, to dress up as a super hero. In her brother's old Darth Vader costume. With a tu-tu. And her velvet cape. Because, really, that is just awesome.

Our first outing in the costume was to the grocery store. She was quite a hit. Then we went to big brother's "Mad Science" party at the elementary school.

I was a little worried about bringing her to the party with a classroom full of tweens, but the kids were great with her. She went to each station with her brother and all the other kids doted on her. After all the activities were done, while the kids were "cleaning up," the teacher put on some music (Thriller) and they all cheered as the toddler did a goofy little dance for them.

Can you say sugar high? And missed nap time?

Later in the evening my niece and nephews came over to create the chaos that must accompany any Halloween night. To counteract the madness, the adults in the house enjoyed some hot chocolate with a choice of Rumpleminz or Baileys.

And then they were off to beg for candy, while I held down the fort at home and enjoyed the quiet house.
