Keeping Up With Sydney: Halloween Preperations

Sweetie and I had a fun and busy day yesterday! We started out by going shoe shopping. It's been so hard to find reasonably priced shoes that fit her chubby feet!! The weather dropped down into the 40-60's, so she really needed warmer shoes. We ended up finding 3 pairs!! A pink sparkly pair, a gold sparkly pair, and some brown Mary Janes. She loves to wear the sparkly shoes! She calls them her princes shoes and does her version of ballet. Below is the Princes Ballerina herself doing her own ballet...

After shoe shopping and a few more errands, we went home so Sweetie could get her beauty rest! We then got her costume on (not easy since she hated the first one I put on her and kicked and screamed on the floor "Get this off!!") and went to the local grocery store where they were having a Halloween Party with trick or treating, costumes and crazy grocery sales!! Sydney had a blast!! We even won a prize - a huge decorated cup cake and a bag of candy - just what we needed!! We also picked out our pumpkin. We then came home and cleaned and carved our pumpkin. Sydney wanted nothing to do with sticking her hand inside the pumpkin!! She kept saying, "Grossssss!!" So, Mommy did most of the pumpkin carving and cleaning and enjoyed every moment of it!!

She would love it if she could just wear this outfit for Halloween!! These are her new Princess ballerina shoes!

This was the second costume we put on which she "tolerated"! She loves to wear the tights and bodysuit and shoes - not so crazy about the skirt!

Our little Ballerina Princess!!

At the Halloween Party at the grocery store. It was packed with tons of employees in costumes and little kids in costumes!! This sucker didn't last long!!
