She had a good time, but kept asking, "When is the real Halloween?" Funny girl.
On Tuesday, she had a Royal Ball at school. Instead of having a Halloween party, her school has an event of some kind to celebrate. Last year was Wild West Day and this year was the Royal Ball. She was soooo excited! She bought a Tangled (Rapunzel) dress with Halloween money from Lilo and we found a wig and shoes at the Disney outlet. Here she is before school:
This is what she looked like when I picked her up:
Ha! I think they had an interesting day! Her teacher informed me that one of the kids found a baby snake in their classroom during center time. She thought he was joking about the snake, but found it under the play kitchen. They often prop the outside door open while they are outside and think it must have found it's way in that way. I love hearing Olivia tell that story, it made quite an impression!
She also has ballet on Tuesday afternoon. She asked me to make her some leg warmers after seeing some "big" girls with them. She is so proud of these legwarmers:
On the "real" Halloween, we headed to Ooltewah and our friend Brad and Megan's neighborhood. They live in a great area for trick or treating and we kind of invited ourselves! Olivia is all about getting dressed up, especially the make up:
Brad had a trailer hooked up to his 4-wheeler to help haul the kids around, which was great!
She had a little trouble keeping up with the other kids at first. She insisted on wearing her dress up shoes, so she couldn't walk very fast! I finally convinced her to put on her other shoes and that helped until she missed a step at one house and fell flat on her face. She skinned her hands and cried for about 15 minutes, but still managed to trick or treat. She got a little extra sympathy candy! We had a great time! I have been planning a Halloween costume this year for quite some time. I'm not brave enough to bare a painted belly like some pregnant women, but was pretty proud of what I made:
Not that I can take much credit! I found the idea online, then used the freezer paper stencil method to paint it on the shirt. It turned out better than I thought it would! Freezer paper will iron onto a cotton shirt, so all you do is cut out the stencil, iron it down, then put a few layers of fabric paint on it. Olivia thought it was great!
The leaves have been so pretty, I managed to convince Olivia to take a few Fall pictures last week. Not that it was very hard, as she is very into posing:
No news on the baby front! I go Tuesday to re-check her growth. She is still moving like crazy, so fingers crossed!
