A girl after my own heart!!

This year for Halloween, we told the kids we weren't going to buy them new costumes. We are just going to be creative, and create one with what we already have in the house!!

Well, Miss K had a party at her school and we were trying to figure out what to do. We went back and forth between Lady Bug, and Pirate, and of course there was the "princess" option - she has plenty of those costumes!!

As we were going through her dress-up clothes, I came across a one-piece slip, and the wheels started turning. I have been in a "rocker" mood because of an upcoming Rock Band party we will be attending, (more on that later)!! So here is what we came up with.........







Have a Rockin' Halloween!!

....and she's off!!

So Miss K was tired of waiting for mom and dad to find the time to teach her how to ride a bike, so she decided she was going to take matters into her own hands!!
One night, while working on my computer, a flash of pink outside my window caught my eye. I proceeded to walk out my front door to solve the mystery of the "pink blur" when much to my surprise I found my 4 yr old daughter riding the neighbor girls pink bike!! I inquired as to who had taught her to ride a bike. She informed me - in a very matter-of-fact voice - "well, I did mom"!!
We, (Grandparent's & Mom), decided that such a feat deserved a trophy. A bike of her own it was.
Next....shoelaces!!
