Wonder Girl

We tried on Nora's costume the other day.  I don't know what child it was made to fit.  The dress part is perfect, but the boot covers go up the entire length of her leg and are still baggy.  She hates them anyway so I don't think we'll be using them.  She was all into putting the costume on, but she wasn't keen on keeping it on for more than two minutes.  Who knows if she'll actually wear it on Halloween.  I guess as long as she just has the dress part on, you can still tell what she is easily. 

As for me, I dug up a Medusa costume I have and was going to just modify it to be a Greek goddess to my little Amazon, but John and I are going to alternate taking her out and handing out candy, and the costume for me is just not going to be practical for when I'm outside.  So I'm opting to not dress up, after all.  I was talking to John about this and I had the silly revelation that Halloween is just not going to be about me anymore.  At least not until she grows up and wants to go out without us.  And that's fine. 

In any case, here are some initial pictures I took Tuesday.  I'm probably going to have to put some clothes on underneath her dress thanks to the standard Halloween weather for Western New York.  And the boot covers are just not going to happen.

She looks like she's really into it in the pictures!

She was chasing me because she's obsessed with the viewscreen on the camera lately.

Heh heh, I know somebody else who's obsessed with watching the camera viewscreen....

It really makes it nearly impossible to take pictures of her anymore. John tried to get a picture of us playing her latest favorite game (she runs down the hall with her FP corn popper and I chase her with the toy vaccuum), but she stopped what she was doing to see the camera and then nearly had a tantrum when we wouldn't let her play with it.

My mom is looking for Christmas ideas already so I suggested getting her one of those toddler digital cameras that a few companies make. She might not be able to use it properly yet, but I think she'll like it anyway.

That's awesome, but you MUST costume. Don't go all "mom" on us already!

Well, I'm still contemplating something low key I can wear. I was just trying to stick with her WW theme, but that I don't think is going to happen. At the very least, I have a nice pirate sweatshirt that I think you picked out for Mike in Maryland or someplace that I stole when he didn't want it. I can at least wear that while we're trick or treating.
