Hallerween

Nope, not a typo.  Hallerween is Sienna's pronunciation for Halloween this year.  Sienna was Minnie Mouse this year; she adores Minnie.  She frequently talks to me like I am Minnie Mouse and will only continue the conversation with me if I talk to her in my "Minnie" voice.  Hysterical!  Scott and I got into the fun this year.  Scott dressed up as Pete, the villainous, fat cat from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Pete is one of Sienna's favorite characters on the show -- why?  We are not sure!  Sienna also frequently asks/orders Scott to talk in his Pete voice.  I dressed up as Figaro, Minnie's kitty cat.  Sienna loves to sing the "Figaro" song that Minnie sings on the show.  So, our costumes were a big hit after she got over the fact that I was still Mommy even with my face paint and kitty ears.  Ha!
I thought Sienna would 'get' the trick-or-treating thing more this year, but she was pretty clueless.  She loved it that evening, but she didn't even ask about her candy the next day.  (So, yes, Scott and I had to eat her candy.  Darn.)  While we were trick-or-treating, Sienna was totally into the candy collecting.  Her favorite were suckers.  In fact, I don't think she ever let one get in her bucket.  She would immediately open it.  When she'd get another sucker, she'd say, "Mommy have my old sucker.  I have my new sucker."  The girl loves suckers.  I think she had about 4 that night before we ever got home.
I love Hallerween.  This might have been the best one of my life yet!
Here we are!  I realize Scott looks like a "Farmer Kitty" to some,
but this is the type of costume you throw together being a busy parent!
I love this picture!  Only for our daughter...
(And these overalls are my Grandpa Craig's.  He passed
away when I was 15, so pretty cool to have Scott wear them.)
Holding her sucker and loving her glow stick!  Life is good!
Sienna is very into hugging Maddie and Mommy these days.
She loved helping pass out the candy at our house.
Our carved pumpkin!  Sienna loved lighting the candle
every night with Scott.  It was their little nightly routine.
