.a princess halloween.

.for halloween this year. i wanted to do something with Brooklynn so i can record in her baby book, for first halloween... but also knew she is not going to remember ANYTHING. i was planning on attending our ward halloween party dressed up with lil miss, but my little sister got food poisoning and i was kinda caring to her needs, and also the needs of my family. so we werent able to go, i was sad, because i heard it was a blast. maybe next year.

.anyways so our ward party came and went, and halloween came. I worked that day, and the girls were so hyper it was crazy! they just wanted mom to get home, because that meant closer to trick or treating. finally lori arrrived, and i took off to get myself and b all ready.

.i texted my friend megan, and asked if her and ayla wanted to do something with me (andrew was SWAMPED with homework and was unable to come, and arom (meg's hubby) was working. so she agreed. so megan and i went dressed as cowgirls.. i did not get a picture of me, but it was the EXACT outfit as taylor swift concert, because i already had it.

Brooklynn went as a princess (fitting, right?) because I just stopped at the dollar store to get a crown, and i had her blessing dress that i failed as a mom and never got pictures from her blessing day. FAIL. so i figured put it to use one last time.

her crown i made do from a dollar store necklace.

.ayla went as a workout girl. she was ADORABLE. i LOVED her little leggings she had on with her tights. it was super cute, and meg just threw on a sweatshirt that totally went with the outfit. good thing too cause it was SO cold.

.well we went to what was suppose to be this epic place to trick or treat and have games.. fail! i swear everytime i pick somewhere to go/do with the schultz family it fails me everytime. dang it. oh well.

.well by the time we got done, the girls were done and screaming. ayla was tired and so was brooklynn. so i dropped meg and alya off at her place, and went home. i had heard they had trick or treating at fatcats and it was "the place to go in rexburg" according to the radio. so i called andrew and said we were going to take brooklynn just for a few minutes for family night. so we took her. its a movie theatre and bowling alley. and they had booths from different companys handing out candy and coupons. so we out brooklynns little bag around her wrist and she would smile at the people, and they would put candy in her bag. we only went for fifteen minutes. but hey, i took brooklynn out for her first halloween. andrew and i talked on the way home how excited we are for next year, when she is older, and will be walking, and it will be a little more enjoyable.

.so thats the halloween story in the westensee household. happy late halloween, we love you brooklynn.
