Some Halloween

This year we enjoyed a church Trunk or Treat (Fernando was a farmer, Mia was a garden fairy, Talia was a flower, Tiago was a sheriff, and I was a ladybug). Talia found happiness on some kid's tricycle that was sitting in the parking lot.

Dance class allowed for dress up and Tiago dawned his new Darth Vader look.
Mia scored a free face painting session at the Doctor's office after hear ENT appointment. The lady's skills were awesome, her lack of clothing around her bust line wasn't. Ah, the price of freedom. (pun on our ability to choose and the price of the artistry). I know, funny!


So what can I say. . .halloween kind of came and went, but we did have some fun. Like a party that was the brainchild of Mia that exploded into a 90% committal rsvp list. (when does that happen) and Tiago becoming the masked man himself. Double bonus was a shopping venture that happened Saturday and surprisingly Target still had tonz of costumes at a whopping 90% off price tag. So we now have a full Star Wars cast for under $10. (BTW, I also scored some other pretty standard costumes for about $2 a pop which was very satisfying since the original price was in the $30-$40 range). I couldn't help but buy Tiago 2 Nascar
racer outfits, a Thomas the Train thing, some interesting illusion of a costume where it looks like your kid is riding a horse, a Zebra giddy up, and Princess Leia, a Storm Trouper, Obi One, a Jedi robe, and Young Darth Vader. (hopefully this will curb the amount of times I find Tiago playing cars or warrior in Mia's princess dress. Now the boy can dress up in some real dress up clothes for boys.)

Way to score at Target! We ended up ordering costumes online because my 2 year old is very particular in what he wears. Looks like your Halloween was super fun though!
