We were so excited to be in our new home just in time for Halloween. I have always loved this holiday for some reason although I have rarely dressed up for it as an adult. When Chris and I did not have Ava I loved to pass candy to all the children who came to our door - in a scary mask of course...making some of them jump into their mothers arms, back up, run away. I always got a good laugh out of it. Chris was worried about the liability...a child falling of the porch, etc. Hmmmmmmm....does he have to think of everything ;-)
Now, that we have Ava...I love to be creative with her costumes. The last two years I made them (stole the ideas off of Etsy...but make them myself!) and it is such a treat for me. This year, she was a Peacock. I couldn't wait to make her costume and let her wear it. She wore it three times...once in the Grace Garden Halloween Parade, SailPoint Spooktacular and to trick-or-treat in the neighborhood.
Although she didn't really want to be a Peacock, she was a graceful and gorgeous Peacock. Finally, at age 3 she realized that she can be almost anything...and as she continually noticed all of the costume options she didn't stop asking if she could be certain things. Yes, yes, yes...she can be any of them...as long as I can make it.
