Trick Or Treat


" WAIT FOR ME !!"


Zane helped a friend of ours in her scary porch theme. He is the scary clown.
No pics of Zoe . She was off with her friends this year.


My little Vamp Carson !


Waiting impatiently for trick or treat to start


Miss V & her first jack o lantern

Well, we are a little hung over this morning from Trick Or Treat :) I'm working on my second cup of coffee trying to get through the last day of a very busy week. Vania woke up this morning and couldn't get the words " where is my candy ?" out of her mouth fast enough ! I'm the mean mom who made her have breakfast before she plunged into her candy. I've already had to cut her off until after lunch :)

Vania had a great time trick or treating. Daddy pushed princess V around in her stroller house to house. Every time we stopped Carson & Vania would race to the door to be first. Carson was very good to help her navigate her way through the crowds & then you would hear her squeal " WAIT FOR ME !!!" as she ran down the driveway back to her carriage. Adam & I were cracking up . As if pushing her highness around wasn't enough , when we stopped Adam would say "if you want candy you have to get up & go get it." Vania would huff in disgust ,pop out of the stroller & retort "GOSH dad !" Such a DIVA :)

Inspired by my fellow adoptive parents I put yarn extensions in Vania's hair. It was a LONG process ( about 6 hours ). If I do it again I think we will break it up into 2 days.I think it turned out really cute & great for her princess costume. It makes her look about 5 years old. Hopefully the 6 hours of work will pay off & the extensions will last for awhile. By then I'm sure we will be ready for something different. I just love all the fun stuff you can do with her hair !!!!

One quick story. As we were 5 1/2 hours into the extension process. Zoe & Carson were also playing with yarn making bracelets. So we were passing the scissors around. All of a sudden I hear SNIP SNIP. I look down & two braids lay on Vania's highchair tray. Yes, Vania had gotten a hold of the scissors. I could've passed out at that point. Luckily , since they were bangs I was able to just trim them a little higher. The thought of having to take them out & re-do 2 more braids at this point was enough to make me crazy.

Happy Halloween everybody !!!!!!!
