Buh-Bye Halloween Jasmine

I was doing so well at regualar posting.... I'll try to catch up!

Halloween: Yes, I still need to download pics. But, Princess Jasmine was a hit!! Charlotte was such a big girl, that Brian and I couldn't believe our eyes... our little girl is now completely a BIG GIRL!!

Of course it was cold (welcome to Hallowee, Cleveland style), so we layered her up! I thought this was for sure going to equate to one major melt down, but she obliged to layer after layer under that THIN Princess Jasmine costume. And even sported her winter coat on top! She trekked to way more houses than we thought she would. And was a hoot on top of it!! She said trick or treat and thank you to almost every house unprompted (why is it that good behavior is almost always exhibited for strangers and not us?), and even wished people Happy Halloween!!

But, on this night, Brian and I decided Charlotte's calling in life would be: a talk show host, a politician or just a rocking sales person... why?? B/c she is such the conversationalist!! She would ring someone's door - say Trick or Treat - and then say "I like your scarecrow!" Or the same thing, but say "I like your lights and duck (those porch geese)!" And she asked every single person: What you are? (what are you dressed up as, Charlotte style). It was so funny to see these "older kids" (10 - 12 maybe) react to her questioning!! Then, after we had enough, we headed back to the house to hand out candy - where Charlotte proceeded to say "Kids!! Come here!! I have candy!!!" She was quite the Halloween Jasmine, and quite the trooper!!

I will miss Halloween Jasmine, but am a little glad Santa is around the corner! Plus, I don't think we've seen the last of her - I'm sure she will make an appearance a few times this winter!
