Rose-isms and Halloween

The other day Rose and I were eating breakfast together as Mike was carrying things outside to pack up his car in order to go fishing after work. As he carried his HUGE tackle box outside, Rose yelled out "Be careful, Mikey!" (Where did she come up with that knickname?!)


Another day I gave Rose the option to go to school right away so I could get gas after dropping her off, or to go with me to get gas before I dropped her off. She thought about it for a long time, then responded "maybe Daddy should get gas for you and we play."   (I like the way she thinks!)

In other news, I LOVE when Halloween falls on a Saturday! Extra time to dress up and have fun, and no worries about having to get to school/work the next day. Rose was also THRILLED to be able to wear her costume all day. She had asked to be a princess, in blue, with a dress that reached "all the way to the ground!" and with a cape. I think we succeeded! She's my favorite Cinderella ever.

Putting on Cinderella's magic slippers.

The Shops at West End hosted a little Halloween event for kids.

 At one of the first stores they asked her "who are you for Halloween?"  She paused, then responded "I'm Rose."  :)

So hard to pick just one treat!

"Trick or treat!"

We even ran into her best friend from school!

 

We had yummy Indian food for lunch!

After lunch and a few errands, we returned home for nap time. And after nap we finally carved our pumpkin!  (Bought way back when we went to Mankato for the day!) We haven't even tried carving pumpkins for the past few years, so this was Rose's first experience pulling out the "guts."

"You want me to do what?!"

One seed at a time...

Then shake that one seed to the ground...

30 minutes later!

I love this photo!

"Hurry up, Mommy! It's getting dark out!"

I love her reflection in the door!

It got dark fast!

Look at that stash!!!

THAT'S what we call a "sugar buzz!!"

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!
