Happy Halloween




We had a great Halloween. Aminah of course is Cinderella. There are many times I have to address her as Cinderella or else she won't answer me. One time we were in a store and I turned around I couldn't see her. So I called her name and she didn't answer. I called it again and nothing. I started to panic and then remembered a few minutes earlier she told me she was Cinderella. I called out, "Cinderella where are you?" and of course she yelled, "Here I am." So it was only natural that she would wear a Cinderella outfit. We went to try on the costumes at the store and they were all too itchy. She has very sensitive skin anyway so I decided to go ahead and get out the sewing machine and make her a Cinderella costume. I forgot to look at the price of the lace and I accidently ended up having to buy the 3 yards I had them cut. I ended up paying about $24. for the lace alone. UGGGG . .. lesson learned. . . check out the price before you have them cut it. Then as I'm making the Cinderella dress I find out that Aminah can't wear her costume to preschool because they only allow Rodeo attire that day. Well, I'm already working on the costume and she IS Cinderella so I have to continue, but we end up also having to purchase items for her Rodeo outfit. We found a t-shirt that said, "Rodeo Princess" and then I also found a pair of pink cowboy boots. She has fallen in love with her boots. I'm pretty sure it is because EVERYONE comments on how cute they are. She loves the attention. So by day she was a rodeo princess and by night she was Cinderella. She had a grand time. I didn't actually get a picture of her with her rodeo outfit but I will post a picture of her with her boots later.
