Amelia the elephant complete with trick or treat pail!Okay, so yes, it has been a month since I posted but in my defense I was out of the country for 2 weeks.... I will hopefully get the Europe pictures posted soon. I had to post these right away because they are so cute! We had a Halloween Mom's group today and it was so fun. The hostess had everything so cute and Halloween- cupcakes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut out like pumpkins, ham and cheese for the moms, rice krispie treats on a stick with orange sprinkles, juice boxes or milk, breakfast punch for the mommies, and apples. The kids played their own version of "bobbing for apples". They would simply take a bite from an apple and stick it back in the tub and then come back later for more. It was really gross but also hilarious. I caught several of them on camera taking a bit of their apples at the same time. It was total chaos but fun. Now that they are all a little bit older, the moms do actually have a chance to talk a little.....
Now, the story on Amelia and Halloween. Patrick and I bought her a super cute Minnie Mouse Costume complete with ears and bow at the Disney Store in Paris. I felt certain nobody else would have a costume exactly like hers. We were supposed to dress up for music class on Wednesday and I put the cute dress on her. She looked so adorable. Then she started screaming and pulling on the dress saying "OFF OFF" So, I took it off and started over again this time putting a onesie underneath thinking this would help. No luck- she scream, cried, etc until we put normal clothes on. So, when I was at Target yesterday, I got some "backup" costumes of a lion and an elephant. She loved holding the lion outfit but didn't want to put it on. She tried on the elephant outfit for a short time and then wanted it off. However, today at playgroup since everyone else was dressed up she stayed in costume for the longest EVER (probably 30 mins!) but it looks like she will be an elephant after all. Someone is already a little opinionated I believe! Hopefully, we will be able to get her in it again for Halloween!!!
