Halloween




This is a little late, but I wanted to share a couple of pictures of Margaux from Halloween. Dan and Tamara bought her a super cute Halloween dress and bow. I did my best to get a lot of wear out of it by taking her to a different church every week in the time leading up to Halloween. Good thing we didn't visit one of those churches that doesn't like to acknowledge Halloween, or if we did, they didn't have the nerve to share their disapproval with me.
In addition to the dress, Margaux got into the holiday spirit in her pink poodle costume, which she called her "dogfit" - a combination of "dog" and "outfit." I had been procrastinating on buying Margaux a costume because I couldn't decide what I wanted her to dress as. One day I thought to myself, "Well, you better make up your mind or your kid is going to be the only one not in costume at the preschool costume parade. It's not like someone is going to knock on your door and hand you a costume." You know what happened? That very afternoon our neighbor, Mrs. Park, rang our doorbell and handed us a costume. She said she found it at a local shop and thought it might be Margaux's size. And, it WAS her size, which is amazing because Margaux is petite and hard to fit. All in all, Margaux loved Halloween. She doesn't quite understand why she can't wear her dogfit to school these days, and who knows, I might just let her. If you can't dress up as a pink poodle just for the fun of it when you are a toddler, when can you?
