Happy Halloween!

So, of course this post is forever long. Sorry. I just couldn't decide on what pics to put... you know how it is. But we had a great day today!!! Started out with a little pumpkin painting. She had NO idea what was going on at first, and I must admit that I thought I was crazy for even trying this! But here she is, examining her potential masterpiece...

I showed her ONCE that you stick the brush in the bowl then onto the pumpkin, and away she went!
She did NOT like it when paint got on her. I had to be right there on standby with a wet paper towel. She got over it more easily the more she painted, but still didn't like it. She doesn't like to be dirty at all! Here, she is showing me that some green got on her hand.
Then she switched to the pink paint. Such a girl.
It was so funny how hard she was concentrating! When she did Easter eggs, she concentrated a lot too. Guess she is going to be quite the artist! Even got the stem green a bit...
See??!! Had to get that spot on the side....
Now on to some white for a highlight or two...
Ta-da!!! All done!
Or at least I thought. I took it away and she was less than pleased. Wanted to paint Mommy's pumpkin too! So she got to work some magic on the big one also. I decided her work was way better than what I had planned for it anyways.
This morning I had her wear her tutu around for practice, so that maybe she would keep it on tonight. She didn't like it much at first, but then got used to it. Looks funny with her footy pj's!! She does this thing with putting her head on the ground... I don't know...
By the way, my cousin Julie makes these custom tutus and sells them. The pictures you are about to see will be proof that they are ADORABLE and that any little girl in your life would love this for Christmas! See her blog for details... (Julie, I had to cut this one down some so that she could walk in it!! Hee hee!)
Getting in some riding time while wearing the tutu! Tutu funny! :)
Showing off the costume to Daddy before we left for church tonight. LOVE this picture of my two favorite people!
Showing off her shirt and her beads....
... here's the close up.
She was scared of her candy pumpkin at first. So we had to practice with it as well. Shouldn't have wasted my time since she didn't care about it tonight anyways! But here, she is giving it a hug as they became acquainted.

"Why is there no candy in here?!"
So we went to chuch to help out that situation. They had an outdoor concert thing with booths set up for the kids to trick or treat. We sat in the back of the car for a ChickFilA picnic first.
Of course Mommy had to get the bow just right before she could reveal herself to the world!
Off we go! (Notice that Tweety Bird has spotted the very cute little ballerina coming up and is making her way toward us...)
Whoa!! Reagan DARTED back at me and was scared to death of poor Tweety who was just being nice! It was hilarious. I told Tweety that Reagan was sorry she was being such a baby. Blow this up to see her crying!

God painted a really nice sky tonight!
Here is the curb we had to step up, down, up, down, for quite some time. Man, that can be such a barrel of fun!
She was having WAY too much fun to stop for a picture with Mommy!
The divider between the grass and the playground rocks requires MUCH skill and determination to step over. You have to concentrate really hard. SuperGirl came to rescue Reagan and help, but we didn't get the camera ready before she darted off to save more children in peril.
Putting on her shoes for the 100th time after they came off in the rocks. Ballet shoes are NOT meant for playgrounds.

She was off to get in line for the hay ride. Thankfully she didn't care that we didn't actually go.
BIG swinging with Daddy through the parking lot! How great is this picture, really!?!?
Look closely at this one... you'll see the pouty face as we made our way back to the car when the fun was over. :(
Hope you all had as great of a day as we did!
