What you all wanted to see...


Here is our lovely Cinderella. Course she is sick. Not sure what she has but there has been puking and a really high fever for a couple days. She seems to be on the mend now and fever is low grade and nearly gone, but no trick or treating this year.

So, the big Cinderella surprise wasn't quite what I had imagined. It went something like this.... I snuck into her room late Thursday night and hung the beautiful dress in plain sight, complete with the sparkly crown and glass slippers. My hope was it would be the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes on Friday morning. But, around 3 a.m. I awoke to hysterical crying coming from her room. She had tried to make it to the potty and ended up having an accident on the way. I cleaned her up, gave her a shower and dressed her in clean jammies. However, the crying continued....that is until I pointed out the beautiful outfit. She was elated. I tucked her snug in bed and went back to my bed. Around 4 I heard her door open and crying in the hallway. Yep, she was sick. I got up, took her temp (103.5) and we were up for the duration. Despite her feeling really lousy, she wore her glass slippers for most of Friday as she laid on the couch.

It has been an extremely long couple of days, but she is on the mend. Last night we carved our pumpkins. Today we roasted the pumpkin seeds and made mummy dogs for dinner. Currently she is dressed as her favorite princess and handing out candy.

Happy Halloween!!
