On Friday night, we suited up the girls and headed to THA’s 11th annual Halloween Carnival. It is always such a wonderful carnival complete with a witch DJ\/host, all kinds of kiddie games, costume contests, a cake walk, glass dime booth, lots of plastic prizes and way too much candy!<\/p>\n

There were a ton of people there, which is one reason why I didn’t get great photos! The girls were running in opposite directions, and even with Mimi, Nonnie, Kate and Daddy there to help out, it was complete chaos! I even forgot to “man” McCanless’ class booth for my designated parent time slot! (Whoops) Sugar, people, loud Halloween music and two grandmothers make for WILD Pennington girls! It also makes for a wonderfully fun night!<\/p>\n

For Halloween, I’ve learned not to plan too far in advance when it comes to McCanless. Last year my plans for a Princess (McCanless) and the Pea (Mary Clare) ensemble flopped when McCanless decided to be Jasmine around 5PM on Halloween night. A costly decision, as I spend so much time and money on the perfect princess costume. The Jasmine costume we had in her dress-up trunk. Oh well, Jasmine and the Pea were just as adorable, but Jasmine, the Arabian Princess and the Pea just doesn’t sound as good. So much for trying to coordinate.<\/p>\n

This year, McCanless has changed her mind at least a dozen times and we’ve been so busy lately, I’ve barely had time to think about costumes at all, much less about coordinating costumes. Last week, when I realized that the carnival was quickly approaching and the girls need costumes, I grabbed a couple of from Target. A brave move without McCanless there to approve! I was just hoping they would at least work for the carnival night! (McCanless is convinced that she should have two costumes.) McCanless LOVED the witch costume. Mary Clare even loved wearing her spider costume and looked so cute! (She wouldn’t wear the hat, which was a bit too small for my melon headed baby girl.)<\/p>\n

McCanless even did her own make-up!<\/div>\n

Mary Clare kept ducking into this booth. Katelyn, her very first babysitter, outside of family, was there telling fortunes. I’m not sure which she loved most, Katelyn or the suckers.<\/div>\n
