Halloween

We love Halloween in The Coyle House, especially Kennedy and Daddy!!! Kennedy loves to dress up year-round, so of course she loves a day devoted to being in character. She decided the day after last Halloween that she would be Little Red Riding Hood, no joke. She talked about if for a year and did not waiver once, the girl knows what she likes :) I was just happy to be off the Dorothy kick for a change. So we thought, great another fun theme we can do as a family. Caleb will make a perfect Big Bad Wolf, Daddy would be the woodcutter/lumberjack Daddy of LRR and I would be the grandma and that was all fine and great with Kennedy, but as she approaches five and Halloween drew near she decided that Mommy and Daddy should not dress up. I was a little sad and heartbroken, but would hate to cramp my almost five year olds style or embarass her, I can only imagine when fifteen gets here. So we decided that only the kids would dress up this year. Daddy was even more heartbroken than mommy, he loves to dress up and always does a great job on his costume. Luckliy, for him, K changed her mind the day before Halloween and said he could join her, but not mommy, "Everyone would laugh at mommy in a grandma costume" in her words. So daddy rushed around town finding his woodcutter shirt and making his cardboard axe, he is so creative and such a good daddy and so we have our Little Red Riding Hood, Woodcuter Daddy, and The Big Bad Wolf of 2010 while mommy enjoyed capturing every moment in my street clothes :)
