Happy Halloween!

So Aspen and I had fun today. I decided to not do ANY work, and to just play with her. We played makeup and dressup, and went to a carnival, and trick or treating. It was a fun day. She dressed up as Cinderella, and I dressed up (I know...amazing, since I HATE dressing up) as a Witch...since it was the only last minute, I feel guilty I'm not a better more fun mother, and I should give Aspen good memories of me as a fun mom, costume that I could come up with.

She was EXHAUSTED before we'd even finished. I kept trying to get her to wake up and be excited about trick-or-treating again, hence the "seriously?" look on Ashton's face in the picture. On our last stop, we went to My Brother in law's Jon's, and Aspen's little cousin "K" was there. Aspen turned to "K" who was also dressed as a Princess and said, "You're cute like me!" It was SOOO cute and had me bustin up.

We practiced all day saying trick-or-treat, and responding with "I'm a princess" when asked what she was dressed up as. It was a tough job. I tried really hard to teach her to only go for the chocolate when options were given...but she wouldn't do it. She only wanted the dang smarties, and I HATE smarties. She must have known I wouldn't steal those from her. Bummer. I tried so hard. (Thanks for the tip Felicia...I will have to teach her EARLIER next year...maybe the hand slapping should be applied. ha ha)

Here are some pics. Check out how much my babe and I look alike. We tried to pull the same facial expressions. All in all, it was a nice day with my baby girl. Aspen, I LOVE you my girl. Thanks for the great day and the fun memories!
