Rounding out the month of October, we had a great time this weekend with Halloween and football (Go Dawgs - we beat FL!) festivities in full swing! I can't wait to add some photos of Kinsley with her grandparents tomorrow (since tomorrow is actually Halloween), but today we got to dress-up our little Minnie Mouse and head out to our neighborhood's Fall Festival. We had the perfect little pink sparkly polka-dot (2T!!!) dress, the little white bloomers, and the black Mary Janes...but no mouse ears. So mommy got creative...turning a pair of black cat ears from the dollar section at Target into faux Minnie Mouse ears with a little black felt, a pink bow, and some hot glue.
Before...
After!
Total cost = $1.84.
And boy am I glad I didn't spend $25 on the ears I found online, since they ended up here most of the time...
So, we met up with our neighbors and Kinsley's friend Eloise (dressed as a little lamb) and the girls had a blast, running all over the place, and keeping us mom's and dad's running right along after them. Our little Minnie was full of herself...absolutely wearing herself out, and hitting the bed before 7:00 tonight! It may even be worth pointing out that I feel lucky that she is even wearing her Minnie Mouse costume. See, we have had this costume for over 2 months, thanks to her daddy's trip to the Disney store one day...but as of about 3 weeks ago, Kinsley has decided that her new "favorite" is no longer Minnie or Mickey, but Dora. DORA. Da-da-da-da-da-Dora.
Maybe next year's costume??? Nah, I am sure that she will have a new "favorite" by then.
So here are some photos from today, capturing the essence of our funny little toddler this Halloween at nearly 20 months old. Tomorrow we'll head out to a few houses and practice saying "trick or treat"...or as Kinsley says it, "tweeeet"...no trick, just tweeeet...which also gets confusing, as she typically runs right towards the laundry room on cue to get Hunter a "dog treat"...oh well, it should be a little less confusing next year.
The cold weather the past few nights turned our all-green backyard into this beautiful Fall color palette almost overnight!
Steppin' out to show us her new outfit...
Minnie WITH her ears on!
They're still on!
And now they are coming off...oh well...
Kisses from mommy...
Showing daddy one of her many funny faces!
Blowing kisses...
How happy is this little girl?
Nearly skipping...
Little girl, BIG street party...
Daddy and Kins.
Me, Lindsay, and our girls!
Philip, Jared, and their girls!
Kinsley and Eloise (and Pooh and Tigger)...
This is my absolute favorite photo of the day...this was right before we left the neighborhood party to head home...daddy ended up with the beloved mouse ears on his own head, and Kinsley was absolutely pooped.
It was a fun, action-packed day...and this photo says it all. :)
