Halloween was a low-key event in our house. I always imagine things much more extravagant in my mind, and then when it comes down to the nitty gritty, I remember that we have a baby. And babies don't do extravagant. At least ours doesn't. Johnny and I have come to terms with the fact that Sally is not the most easy-going soul.
I used to swear I wouldn't be that parent who built my life around my baby's sleeping schedule, but I totally am, for now at least. And so on Halloween night, despite our plans to go trick-or-treating with my sister Melyssa and her family, we decided to just call it a night after we had dinner with them. Sally's bedtime is 7:00, and she'd missed her afternoon nap that day, so we opted for a sleeping baby rather than a screaming baby.
But Halloween afternoon was quite a treat! Johnny's work had all the employees' kids come trick-or-treating around the office at 4:00. So I dressed Sally up in her elephant ensemble and headed on over.
Sally was the perfect elephant, even though she never even knew what she looked like :). It was so fun to have a baby to dress up this year. Even though we haven't done much for Halloween in the past, I could see us really getting into it once our kids are a little older!
