I know, I know.. I'm still way behind.
For Halloween, Taylor was Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. Last year we got her costume from Party City, and I absolutely loved it, so I figured I would run by there the weekend before Halloween and pick her up a costume, and it would be easy. Yeah, that wasn't the case. I went by there, and I didn't really like anything they had. All of the infant costumes were the same as last year, and of course, I had already gotten the cutest one. So, I went home and tried brainstorming on some ideas of what she could be. I originally thought about Minnie Mouse or Darby from My Friends Tigger and Pooh. Our church had a ward Trunk-or-Treat the next Wednesday, so Tuesday night (at the last minute of course!), I went searching for a costume. I went to Wal-Mart, Babies R Us, Target, a Halloween store close to Target, Party City, and back to Target. I finally decided on the Dorothy costume that I found at Target. They also happened to be selling red glittery shoes that went perfectly with the costume although they were too big for her feet and really didn't stay on most of the time. I also bought her a little basket and stuffed dog to carry around which I ended up just carrying around :-)
As I was getting her ready for the Trunk-or-Treat, I actually took the time to braid her little pigtails, and she looked so cute, but she had the ribbons and braids pulled out in less than five minutes, so I gave up on that. I did manage to get her to keep pigtails in most of the night- just without the braids and ribbons.
On Halloween, we did our usual and went over to James and Sarah's house, ate chili and hot dogs, and then went trick-or-treating around their neighborhood. Taylor was really cute and even managed to say "treat!" when we went up to houses and then "thank you" after she got candy.
This year, we were able to go to Tate Farms again. It was much warmer than last year, and Taylor was able to enjoy it a lot more now that she's older. She wanted to do everything the big kids were doing. Climb on the tires, swing on the swings, ride the tricycles (she got very upset that she couldn't reach the pedals), go down the slide, play in the corn, etc. She loved getting to run through the pumpkin patch and was not happy when we had to get back on the tractor to leave.

I'd probably have to say that the award for most original costume went to my nephew, Christian, who dressed up as a toilet ;-)
