Happy Halloween!

Here is my cutie pie in her Batgirl costume, ready to save the day! She was being quite the ham, so it was hard to decide which picture to post, so here they all are!
Trunk or Treat
pamelamyers | October 31, 2015
Last night was the Trunk or Treat at Sam’s school. It’s exactly what it sounds like. People volunteer to decorate their car or SUV trunks and the kids trick or treat from them. It was held in the school parking lot and there was lots of music, some games and crafts, and of course, trick or treating! Sam wasn’t really sure what was going to go on, but once she did it, she loved it!
Before we left, Sam needed a photo with her sidekick, Penelope.
The trunks were very cool. Some were so elaborate, I don’t know how they got set up in time. The Frozen one was a hit, as you can imagine.
Before we went inside for crafts, we stopped for some pictures.
Sam saw her friend, Chase, from preschool. How could we not take a photo of Batman and Batgirl?
Julia! Sam was very excited to see her friend.
After Trunk or Treat was over, we didn’t want to head straight home. Sam was having a great time and she looked so cute. We stopped at a local house that was decorated nicely and took in the spookiness. So much Haloweening – and we haven’t even reached Halloween yet!
Monsters on Parade

Today was Sam’s Halloween stroll around the school. All the kids got dressed up in their costumes and walked around the school twice. They all looked adorable! Sam was thrilled that the teachers were dressed up like the little aliens from the Toy Story movie. She had such a good time showing off her Batgirl costume (without mask, of course).
Sam really loves her teacher, Miss Cipolloni. She seems like a lot of fun, and just perfect for a bunch of silly kindergarteners.
We did see Sam’s friend, Julia, too, which was fun. We tend to see her at most school events, even though she is in first grade now.
After the parade, we got a great picture of Sam’s whole class.
Finally, before going home, we were allowed to stay and enjoy their snack with them on the playground. Sam spent most of her time chatting with her friend, Adeline, rather than me, but that’s perfectly fine. 🙂
And, she’s back.

The Tooth Fairy that is. She just visited our house and last night she was back again. Two days in a row! Sam’s second loose tooth came out when were were at Mark’s dad’s house. This time, the Tooth Fairy only left $1.00. I think that’s probably the going rate for teeth these days. Sam wanted to know what the Tooth Fairy does with all the teeth, so she wrote her a note for the next time. Let’s hope the next time isn’t for a while! The bottom two adult teeth are definitely poking through, but I’d like her to have those before the tops start falling out!
Tooth Fairy Time

Yesterday Sam lost her first tooth! The first, and most wiggly, came right out as we were sitting watching TV yesterday morning. Sam right away took her tooth upstairs and put it in the special tooth fairy box that Poppy got her a long time ago. Right under the pillow it went! Sam isn’t taking any chances that she might forget. Of course, the tooth fairy came last night and left Sam $5.00 and this note:
Sam was super excited that the Tooth Fairy came, and left her a letter. She wondered if the picture is what she actually looks like. Who knows? Now if that other wiggly tooth would come out, Sam would be happy. It is bugging her to no end!
Here’s a picture of her gap toothed smile (she was going to a costume birthday party for her classmate, Olivia, hence the costume).
And since she’s so cute, just a few more…
She looks adorable in last year’s costume. I’m glad she still likes it.
