Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Costumes

I purchased Sophia a halloween costume. But when it arrived, it turned out to be Waaaaaay too big. So I'm going to save it for next year. It should fit then. But even though she was swimming in it, it's still adorable.

So the Husband went to Disneyland on Friday with everyone from work as a team building exercise. (Yeah, MY company wants to build the team, the bosses treat us to lunch. HIS company takes everyone to Disneyland). While there, he visited the Princess Store and picked up a Tinkerbell costume for Sophia. Seriously, it is too cute for words. (and, you can tell from the look on her face that she just thinks its the best costume ever!!)

Let's discuss: You know you're from Chicago when....You put your baby's halloween costumes on over long sleeve tee shirts, because, as we all know, you have to wear clothes under your costume or else you may freeze to death and/or catch a cold. I am still not accustom to the fact I can wear tank tops and flip flops in late October. It's just not right.

I also asked the Husband to pick up some Mickey Mouse ears for Sophia. Now, I meant the beanie thing with the ears on it and her name embroidered on it. Granted, I did not say "Get some Mickey Mouse ears, the beanie kind with her name embroidered on it." I know, I know, I should be specific. But I thought he would know what I was talking about. I was wrong. The Husband came home with these:

That is not a beanie with her name on it.



Yesterday, we met Mike and his family at a pumpkin patch. This allowed us to take some pretty cute pictures. I'm not sure how much Sophia liked it, as she was pretty tired, and was refusing to nap. I wanted to take a picture of her sitting in a vat o pumpkins. But she wasn't having it.

Yes! T-shirt under the costume- I know that look well. My junior high Madonna attempt probably would have been a bit more successful but for the t-shirt and overcoat. She makes an adorable tinkerbell and Tim did better than I would have- at least he got the Minnie Mouse with the bow. I sadly would have come home with the Mickey Mouse sans bow. Hope all is okay with the fires.
