Happy Halloween

We let Christine pick the costume theme this year for Halloween. It wasn't a surprise that she chose Cinderella. We watch the show a lot around here (we watched it 2 times today) Christine loves princesses right now, and Cinderella is by far the favorite (Ariel and Bell are fighting it out for 2nd place). 

Christine worked really hard to earn some "real" glass slippers to go with her Halloween costume. We went to Target a few months ago to buy some shoes for me and Christine begged to look at shoes "her size"  and saw these Cinderella clear, sparkly shoes. I quickly distracted her hoping she would forget about them, but she did not! Every time after that when we were at Target Christine would want to go to the shoe section. (Who is this diva shopaholic I have raised? I swear she hasn't learned it from me!) We made an agreement that if she had no accidents at bedtime she could get them (we were finishing up potty training)

Christine loves these plastic shoes. They are quite the treasure around here.

 and what would Cinderella do without her pumpkin that turns into a carriage to take her to the ball?

and of course the hero of the story, Gus Gus. Cinderella would still be locked in the tower if Gus Gus hadn't brought the key up all those stairs.

And the girl mouse who helps sew the pink dress that the step-sisters destroy. She is famous for saying "leave the sewing to the women, you go get some trimmings!"  (if you were wondering about the glasses- my allergies were killing me that day and I had to take out my contacts)

... and we'll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly!
