First Halloween- Charlie was the sweetest lil pea. Aww, just look at that precious baby. What's weird is Gma Jo bought this costume for Charlie BEFORE I even told her I was preggo. Its like shes psychic or something?!
Second- Pebbles/Flinstones. This was the year that the Cardinals won the World Series. So I had to compromise with Chuck on the jersey addition. I have to admit, it was a nice touch. This is also the first year that we went to Boo at the Zoo, and have been back every year since.
Third- Jessie from Toy Story.
This year- "Spoooooky" Witch.
This was the first year that Charlie got to pick her own costume. She started off with a "Ninja Turtle-Santa Clause-Dinosaur" combo, which had me in a panic. Luckily in the end she went simple with a "spooooky witch" (picture Charlie adding jazz fingers and a scary whisper voice). And she was dead set on this for over a month. At least until the day we planned to go shopping. That morning we met up with her cousins at the pumpkin patch. They were telling us about how they were going as batman, superman, or some other boyish super hero. And that damn moment changed all our plans! Lets just say that Charlie was not happy when we left the store with the planned WITCH costume and not BATGIRL. Like kicking and screaming, I-am-not-leaving-this-store-until-I-get-what-I-want, unhappy. And its not that I have anything against batgirl. I think she is cool as shit, and Charlie would rock that costume any day. Its that I am not spontaneous. I like to stick to the plan. She had been telling EVERYONE she was going as a witch, and I couldn't have her show up in something completely different! So.... be prepared to see batgirl in 2014.
Like years before, we went trick or treating at the zoo. The sea lions were extra friendly. I think it was all the kids dressed in bright colorful costumes (I hope they are not color-blind, otherwise I totally sound retarded!). The one below sat next to Charlotte for several minutes just chasing her fingers.
On Halloween we met up with Harper and her neighborhood pose'. It was a little rainy and cold, but that did not stop us! Charlie sprinted door-to-door totally ditching all the lil kids. She was on a mission to fill up her bucket. Definitely had to keep a close eye on her though. She was just waltzing into strangers homes, coming out with quarters and other random things!! If you haven't noticed- my daughter has sticky fingers.... especially at the grocery store. Normally we use the cart with the lil car on the front. If I park her too close to the aisle, she will sneak random things to her car. I first learned about her thievery when I went to unload her into the car. I went to unbuckle her and noticed corn syrup and popcorn seasoning on the floor of the car. Geez- Charlie, if you are going to steal something, at least make it something we enjoy! As embarrassing as it was, I did return everything to the story because I am a good person!!
Charlottes school does not observe "Halloween", so instead they had a pajama party. With no candy. And non-Halloween toys. Not sure how the teeth fit into that equation. But I am OK with it.
So there is Halloween 2013 Charlie Style.
Because I am too lazy to create a separate post for the pumpkin patch, I am just going to throw in some pictures from the day. As usual, it is always fun to hang with Charlie's cousins.
