SugarCube's First (BIG) Holiday Was A Bust!



A failing on my part, to plan costumes and get it done! 
However, while she didn't trick-or-treat this year, she did join the festivities in this cute lil' pumpkin butt outfit! 

Truth be told. I did plan costumes. But I was afraid SugarCube would refuse to relinquish her HARD bedtime of 6:00 p.m, in order to make first year Halloween memories. And I was right. She was DONE by 5:55 p.m last night. Notice my inability to capture cute baby smiles above? So I was glad I didn't waste the money on it. I had planned on R dressing up as a wild west sheriff, I was going to be the bank robber and SugarCube, my stolen bag of gold. What a cute idea right! I'm kinda bummed that it didn't work out, but maybe an idea for some of you next year?!?! I had found a family photo online that did modern day robbers having the baby as a stolen bag of money. So to be somewhat original, I just threw in my own twist, with the wild west theme :) 

We did, however, give out candy. Which was my first time and so fun! We live in a rather large, nice neighborhood. I would say we have a good eight hundred homes here, so our door bell started rockin and rollin around 5:00 pm and didn't stop until 11:00!!! Crazy fun :) So many cute lil' ghosts, goblins and witches. 

Loved reading about all your Halloween festivities this morning! 
Anyone sporting a candy hangover? ;)

P.S Thank you for all your encouraging, supportive comments on my last post. It meant the world and truly gave me a moment of calm, knowing that I have awesome people thinking about and praying for my family <3 Thank you!

  1. Awww! Our little one was out like a light around 630 in his stroller! We were still out trick or treating though with our oldest! That costume idea would have been FAB!

  2. SIX HOURS of trick-or-treaters?! How much candy did y'all get?? (asks the girl who only bought 4 little bags last year and ran out in 10 minutes) I'm coming to your house next year. LOL Ours lasted from 6-8, but I turned off the lights at 730 because it was baby bedtime!

  3. You did way better than I did! I didn't even have a halloween-y outfit for Charlotte to wear! And we didn't give out candy. =P Mainly because Charlotte's bedroom is right next to the front door and I didn't want kids waking her up.

    She looked cute in her little outfit, though!
