Halloween!

This year, Fiona is really starting to get into Halloween. She knows that she goes to people's houses and says "Trick or Treat" and they give her candy. Fiona is just like her mother and LOVES candy. I raised her well.


Yesterday, our topic of converstation was Halloween Costumes. On Saturday, we got a One Step Ahead catalog in the mail. The 1st 4 pages were filled with costumes, which is what started the current Halloween fascination. Yesterday, Fiona changed her mind about Halloween costumes many many times


We started with Elmo. She was adamant about being Elmo.




Then she saw this witch costume in the catalog and wanted to be a witch. This lasted most of the day.Then I started to add fuel to the fire and searched for a Little Mermaid Costume on Amazon and found this one. She loved it and said that she had to be that!!! . Last week, we were watching Dora and Dora asked the audience "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Fiona was watching intently and answered Dora..."I want to be Princess Belle." So on Amazon, I searched for a Princess Belle costume and found a ton of choices.... Princess Belle became the new favorite.

This next costume request kind of came from nowhere. She had seen a Snoopy pillow at Dee Dee's earlier that day and had asked where Charlie Brown was...All of a sudden she blurts out "I want to be Charlie Brown". So we googled Charlie Brown and showed her pictures and asked her "Do you want to be Charlie Brown for Halloween?" She answers "YES!"...

That is how we ended the night, with Fiona set to be Charlie Brown for Halloween. Will she be Charlie Brown? I highly doubt it. My bets are on Princess Belle or Elmo.
Good thing Hannah has no opinion yet. She is going to be a chicken (same costume that Fiona had when she was a baby!)
