Costume Update. . .

While I had spent many hours looking for the perfect first Halloween costume for Payton and even had shown you a few they were  not perfect enough for our Princess. Grandma had a better idea than a flower gnome, a peanut or lion and purchased Payton a Minnie Mouse costume from the Disney store. At first, I was a little disappointed, because I did not  pick it out (the control freak in me) and two, I had wanted something funny since she will probably want to be a princess every year from here on out until she’s ten. However, once I saw the cute pink outfit it was so my Payton that I wasn’t upset any longer. Plus, when I showed my niece, Makayla, the gnome costume she just looked at me, cocked her head to one side and with bright eyes said, “Auntie, that’s just weird!” So, Minnie Mouse it is! We just need to purchase her some black tights and a cute pair of pink Mary Jane’s and we’re set. 

If your wondering what our fur baby is wearing this is what I found. I am regretting not getting her the hot dog now that P is going to be Minnie. Everytime I think of Minnie or Mickey these day all I hear is, “hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog. . .” So rather than a cliche hot dog for her cute dachshund self Delilah is going to be this. . .

Which, I love. Mommy will sadly be missing the Halloween festivities, which saddens me greatly. Though working on holidays is expected with the industry I work in it’s just hard since it’s her first. There is a 1% chance I will be able to swing going in a little later, but it’s slim, slim chance. It’s the end of the month and with that comes inventory.  So, the house that usually gets the ooh’s and ahh’s for being the best on the block will have it’s lights turned off this year. Luckily, there’s always next year and the year after that. 


It still is one of my  favorite Holidays besides Thanksgiving. So I would love to know what you are going as and what’s your favorite thing about Halloween?
