Happy Halloween!

I know that half of my readership does not like the holiday, but it has been fun leading up to today. ;)

Last year I found a great deal on two costumes for Katie, a kangaroo and a giraffe. She was the kangaroo last year so I thought that she would be the giraffe this time around. Katie had other plans. A couple weeks ago Grandma asked what she was going to be for Halloween and she replied "a very very very scary ghost!" Well, then, that settles it. Katie is her own person with her own ideas so ok. I asked her a couple days later what she wanted to be and she was still saying she wanted to be a ghostie. Ghostie it is my love.

I bought some white fleece and made a poncho that goes down below her knees. I am pretty proud of it because I wasn't following a pattern, just eyeballing it from an existing poncho. I found some glow-in-the-dark fabric spray paint and sprayed the heck out of it. Hopefully we can get it charged enough that the full effect will be seen. Depending on how she handles it, she will even have makeup for tonight.

I don't remember if I wrote about this or not, but we changed Katie's daycare at the beginning of September. Things are working out very well. It's an in home daycare with a few kids her age. They do a preschool program and she keeps coming home with new artwork. I love it! Last week they painted pumpkins for the porch. This week they made ghosts and spiders. Katie is having such a good time with all of the lead up to tonight.

When she woke up this morning, I asked her if she knew what day it was. She thought for a moment the yelled "TRICK OR TREAT!" She is my treat.
