Cutie bug of the century? Well she was a strawberry. A simple piece of fleece with seeds painted on and leaves sewn around her collar, placed over a black turtleneck and tights. She tasted her first Kit-Kat, ate plenty of chicken soup and stood on her tiptoes to reach the plate of grapes on the table. She was extremely comfortable at the party, a delightful mix of independent and dependent. Wandering around, hanging with aunties and uncles and just generally enjoying herself completely. So satisfying as a mother to see her so self assured and comfortable in groups while checking in regularly with us.
And us Parents? Geriatric Nova Scotia Tourists. Matching sweatshirts, baby powder hair, glasses and blue blocker solar shields; cardigan, herringbone pants, a camera case and old man shoes for the mister; windbreaker suit, scarf, earrings & necklace, loafers, a visor cap, some carefully placed padding and water balloon breasts for the lady. We really enjoyed ourselves acting up the parts, hollering and bickering with one another. And I got really into shaking my padded butt. Our crowning achievement? We came in 2nd in the Costume Contest! I'm quite proud of this Old Couple this morning!
Halloween is so much fun with our friends and family!
