Hey There Little Red Riding Hood

Just a little bit more about Halloween 
since I interrupted my regular programming 
with the weather alert Monday.
By the way, the gorgeous warm and sunny weather continues!


Maddy decided to be Little Red Riding Hood months ago
and we attempted to locate a costume in
stores, on the internet, etsy, etc.
Most were rather sleazy looking versions of the cute Red Riding Hood girl, 
so we came up with our very own rendition!
Maddy knew she wanted to wear a tutu -- 
she is a tutu-type girl and has worn tutus 
in a number of costumes over the years.

We found a cape at Walmart, the tutu on etsy and
she already had a peasant blouse.
She added a black vest for warmth (it wasn't cold after all)
and wore her uniform black leggings and black riding boots!

Added the eye mask too -- but it only lasted for the photos!
Mr. Miata is sporting a shark mask here and wanted to
watch Jaws all night long!
Figure that one out if you can.  :)


Our neighborhood was crazy with ghosts and goblins
 and had over 250 visitors!
I ran out of candy --
even my hidden supply that was supposed to be for me
was given up for the little monsters.

Miss M is already thinking about next year's costume --
surprise surprise . . . it involves a tutu!  :)

Halloween Costumes Revisited and Boo at the Zoo!


A little Flashback Friday for you --
A Ballerina from 2005 -- 10 years ago!!



Perfecting her princess wave in 2006!


Back to present day . . . 
Our annual Boo at the Zoo this year did not disappoint!
We arrived later than usual and found a parking spot in the first row!
Yippee -- that never happens!


Here she is -- Little Red Riding Hood
with the Zoo Wizard -- our
fabulous local Zoo Director!

My only complaint is that too
many paper coupons and ads were distributed
and not nearly enough chocolate!

Hope that the school's Trunk or Treat tonight
and real Trick or Treating tomorrow yields
more chocolate
and less paper!

Happy Halloween!!
