Bethany had fun on Halloween this year. Her favorite part was the costume. When I finished making her skirt, bow and tail, she wanted to wear them right away. And she wanted to put them back on after her bath that evening. Over her purple jammies.

She wore the ears each day until Halloween. I finally dressed her in the whole costume.

We took her to trick-or-treat at Crossroads Mall, not too far from our home. The crowd at the mall was a little overwhelming, but we still had fun. The in-mall library gave out books, and Bethany received This Is Not a Pumpkin by Bob Staake. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. Check it out for next year.

At the end of the night, Bethany examined her loot, looking for lollypops.

She proceeded to try to fall asleep during dinner and was rewarded with an early bedtime.
