It's that time of year again... and my little black cats couldn't have been happier!
Candy. Did someone mention candy?! There is definitely one sweet toothed child in our house, and it's not Lilah! Phebe could eat candy all day long. If there's candy involved, she's there, with a big old grin on her sweet face! (No pun intended!)
My girls had so much fun out trick or treating with our neighbours daughter, Zoë. They went around the neighbours we know really well, about 10-15 houses altogether and then came home to enjoy their loot. Actually, like last year, my girls favourite part of the evening was getting to see everyone that came to our door. I left them in charge of handing out the candy and they were really pleased. They were just so excited every time they heard the doorbell, it was sweet listening to them as they handed over the candy and shouted "Happy Halloween" every single time!
Phebe's little preschool had a little Halloween party too (on Tuesday) and she got her face painted as a puppy dog! She was pretty thrilled and spent the rest of the day panting and barking!
I think our Phebe girl has met her match with Halloween!
She hadn't the slightest idea what all the fuss was about, with her big sister running around squealing with excitement, but there is one thing for sure about our new daughter... she will NOT be outdone when it comes to excitement, or anything else really!
So first of all she was supposed to be a Superhero, because Lilah wanted to be 'twins' and being a Superhero was Lilah's choice. well, that was until Halloween morning arrived and then there was a huge change of heart around this house. Lucky enough we have a closet full of little costumes and hats and whatnot... so our Lilah girl decided to go with a bunny rabbit mask and tail. And Phebe, well, I gave her a choice of the Superhero outfit and the Tinkerbell dress. I'm secretly thrilled she chose the dress... my poor baby girl gets enough boy comments, because of her lack of hair and there is no doubt she would have gotten a few more if she'd worn that Superhero costume! Speaking of hair, it is growing rapidly, it can just about hold a clip!
So Lilah's change of heart was a blessing in disguise!
And did she ever keep up with her big sister, while out trick or treating! Man those little legs were flying! She had so much fun. And when I said she met her match in Halloween, it was everything to do with the treats she received. I just let them eat as much candy as they could, because tomorrow, they'll disappear!
What Lilah could eat in candy in a week, Phebe can definitely eat in a day, maybe even an hour! She is definitely our sweet tooth in the family!
Love my little Tinkerbell.
It started out like this - this picture was taking a couple of weeks ago.
(See what I mean about the 'boy comments'!) ...sorry Phebe!

Then Lilah popped this hat on her head last Sunday and she seem to be channelling the whole witch theme!
She even made us a brew! Just tea, no worries!

And finally the beautiful Tinkerbell emerged in all her glory.

Her favourite part... the eating of the collected loot!

And finally, waiting for all those trick or treaters to come to our home!
