Happy Halloween!
Posted By pamelamyers on October 31, 2012
Happy Halloween everyone! This year, Sam is being a frog, one of her very favorite things. I started asking her what she wanted to be for Halloween a few months ago and every single time she told me a frog. No deviation. A frog. So I made sure I got her a frog costume, asap! She is very excited about Halloween this year and the prospect of getting candy. She definitely remembers going out last year, but seems more into it this year, most likely because last year when we took her out she didn’t really understand what was going to happen.
Last week we took her to the annual Halloween parade down Saxer Avenue in Springfield. Before we left, we took a few pics of our little girl. I am glad we did, because now the outside is such a wet, soggy mess from the hurricane, I don’t know if we’d get any pictures.
Is this the cutest frog you have ever seen?
The grin on her face says it all — Sam loves her costume! She was so excited to put it on. She was giggling and smiling the whole time.
We tried to get a picture of her hopping like a frog, but she was feeling silly and wouldn’t cooperate.
I just want to smoosh those cheeks!
Here Sam is at the parade, ready to go! She was excited seeing all the other kids in their costumes.
But the BEST part was the unexpected visitation of Elmo! When she saw him she couldn’t get over there fast enough. I never saw such huge smiles. She said, “Hi Elmo!” and reached out and touched him. I think that was the best think to happen to her in her little lifetime! As we waited in the parking lot for the parade to start, we had to keep going over to Elmo again and again. I think if Sam had her way, we’d have just followed him around the whole time.
Sam and her man. 🙂
Here we are marching, marching….We stopped for a photo op before moving on.
I asked Sam to show me her bag of loot and she obliged nicely!
This was near the end of the parade. Sam had a great time. But now the real fun begins — trick or treating tonight!
