She (at some point) became very aware of what monsters were. She was now scared of every monster in the stores and even became convinced that shadows were monsters. She get timid and cling to Keith and I saying "monsters, monsters" in a whimper. Daddy did come to the rescue and convince her that monsters could not come in the house and that there were a lot of good monsters, like the sweet ghost decorations in the house. Samantha would even comment "no monsters in the house mama." As adorable as this was, we were worried about what Halloween night would bring.
On top of that, I had visions of her being a beautiful princess, but after our sister and law gave us a chicken costume, which Samantha found hysterical, the princess was out the window. She'd wear the chicken costume around the house weeks before Halloween, looking at herself in the mirror and getting into giggling fits. It was adorable!
Also, in the days leading up to Halloween Keith's parents came in and we embarked on the holiday traditons - making yummy apple-filled goodies, carving pumpkins, and going to the Halloween celebration at Indy's gorgeous Children's Museum.
Sporting some cow PJs in the spirit of Halloween dress-up. :)
Heading into the Children's Museum with Papaw and Yaya
Yep - that is her reaction to the "monster" ;)
Dressed up like a dinosaur and playing with one of the many amazing exhibits.
The toddler room at the Museum is SO cool - Samantha loves the fishing pond, tractor, playhouse, and all the opportunities to dress up and goof around.
Enjoying the Carousel ride with Yaya
On the way home - worn out after a busy day. Getting in a nap before trick or treating that night.
Finally it was time to get bundled up and dressed up. Here is our Chicken Little:
Okay, so we did have to let her dive into the candy a little bit. :)
What a magical Halloween this was!
