Two Princesses, Minnie Mouse and a Witch!

So the party was a hit!  At least I thought it was....

There was late night set up (with help from the awesome Grandma Lowney, who stayed over-night to give me the two extra hands I needed!!)

Love this spider!! (It is the only spider in the WORLD I will admit to liking) My Mom has the cutest Halloween stuff!

Mummy Cupcakes!! Yum!!

Christopher made a brief cameo appearance in his costume before he promptly fell asleep for the entire party.

Side note: So I can throw a rock and hit a Minnie Costume.  But a Mickey Costume...
forget it, it's like finding GOLD!! So I had to get creative!

The guest list dwindled a little, but it was still so sweet to see four little girls dressed up in their costumes...

We have a Princess, a Witch, Minnie Mouse & a Princess

I love watching kids this age play.  They go from playing together, and then someone gets tired of the scene and just walks away to go onto their own thing.  And that's OK.  No one gets mad, no one criticizes their need to do their own thing. 

It's just accepted.  And when they want back into the game, they are welcomed.  It was beautiful to watch the innocence of these little girls.  And not even that, of them just not knowing any better.  When there is only acceptance, and judgement is not yet something that they are aware of.  I love that!

And even though our Halloween party was right in the middle of our Indian summer, it was still wonderful!  Perfect for a Halloween Scavenger Hunt in the yard.  The girls anxiously awaited for the "Candy Man" to get done hiding the candy. 

(The "Candy Man", for those of you not in the know, he hangs with the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus until he is needed around Halloween time.) 

This picture is too cute! Mother & Daughter in deep conversation - maybe debating on the amount of candy Chloe can have, I know that's what I was doing with Carly! (AND I love my girl Angie's shoes!) 

And what better way to work off that sugar high than a game of tag in the yard.

It was a good day!  And even though it was a day for my Love Bug and her friends, it full filled a part of me too!  There is nothing more wonderful than seeing your child happy!
