Halloween costume dilemma solved!

In a previous blog, I wrote of the dilemma of finding a costume for Natalie. With much searching and decision making on us both, we agreed that she would be a monkey! Yes a monkey, just like Boots. Well as you can see in the picture she is not dressed as a monkey. We went to our favorite store to pick up the monkey costume we had seen a week before, to find that it was no longer there! As I am standing trying to figure out another costume, my sister calls. As I say hello, she is screaming in excitement, "guess what I found? guess what is in my cart right now!" My thrifty sister, was at the thrift store and had found a cute dalmation costume in the perfect size for my little Nat! We dropped everything and met her to pick it up!! No pne knows how excited I was to finally have this costume and not have to fret any longer!

Nat had a great time going out for her first trick or treat experience. It took her seeing her friends go to about 6 houses before she began, but after that she was a pro. I have to say, she surprised me. I didn't think she would do it. She is really coming out of this shy, timid stage...maybe it's the new haircut, mom?!?
