The princess and the uhhh…vegetable?

Okay, Mary Clare isn’t going to be a bunny for Halloween. This is just a picture of her in a coat that I found in our attic boutique…aka McCanless’ hand-me-downs. McCanless was born in January, and I didn’t take her out of the house until Spring, so, unfortunately, she was unable to wear so many of her newborn winter clothes. (She was probably too big for them anyway) Fortunately, however, Mary Clare is still tiny, so she fits into them nicely! This is an adorable coat we recently discovered!

Also, if you ask McCanless what she and her sister are going to be for Halloween,she will usually say she is going to be a: Princess Fairy, Cheerleader Princess, Dancer Angel Princess , Fairy Princess Cheerleader, etc.. etc.. you get the idea, and her sister is going to be a string bean or a vegetable. She never remembers.

BUT, like I have done the past couple of years, the costume McCanless chose several weeks ago, a glittery, fluffy, obnioxously pink princess dress and gold glitter shoes are tucked away, nicely hidden in Mommy’s closet. I knew if she had it before Halloween, it would look like all of her other costume dresses, torn and tattered from daily wear. She has completely forgotten about it. I can’t wait to see her face when I show it to show it to her tomorrow when I get it out for the THA Halloween carnival! She is going to be so excited, I’m sure! I also have a “real” tiarra, and matching jewels! She going to be a princess and Mary Clare a pea. My very own Princess and the Pea!
