\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the first Halloween that Jaia truly had an opinion about she would dress up as. \u00a0And the costume you see above was not her first choice. \u00a0Not even close.<\/p>\n

She wanted to be a vampire. \u00a0With scary teeth. \u00a0And dripping blood.<\/p>\n

But halfway through my search I started noticing that there weren’t any vampire costumes for little girls that weren’t more like TRAMPire. \u00a0Seriously skanky. \u00a0All were tight (too tight) and revealing (waaaay too revealing). \u00a0Not cool for a 4 year old.<\/p>\n

But really, it wasn’t the costume she was stuck on, so changing her mind wasn’t that tough. \u00a0I just had to find a way to incorporate the vampire teeth she was so keen on wearing. \u00a0And then I came up with an ingenious idea. \u00a0Bumblebee + vampire teeth = Killer bee!! \u00a0She loved it. \u00a0My plan worked.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then we waited until it was too late to shop for vampire teeth and ended up with none. \u00a0(Tsk tsk, Mama.)<\/p>\n

Bumblebee it was. \u00a0But somehow, once she was all dressed up with wings and stripey tights and yellow poof headband and bumblebee wand, the teeth didn’t matter. \u00a0They certainly did not.<\/p>\n

And Wes, well, he was the most perfect zebra around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And they may have enjoyed themselves a little.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(The above was not even staged. \u00a0I swear. \u00a0They were that happy. \u00a0Or maybe the after affects of the sugar they’d already consumed.)<\/p>\n

But mostly, they just ran wild. \u00a0And jumped. \u00a0And trick or treated their little hearts out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And their bums.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And I wouldn’t change a thing.<\/p>\n
