Halloween Is Almost Here

Halloween is almost here, and I'm pretty excited about it. We've got our evening planned for where we'll go trick 'r treating with the girls, and we've been getting in the spirit of Halloween with visits to the pumpkin patches, face carvings in our pumpkins, and we've got their cute little costumes all set. Speaking of costumes, now that we've actually bought the twins' outfits wouldn't you know it - now they want to be something else. And, what they want to be is changing daily: "I want to be the princess, the mermaid, the ballerina..." and on and on.

I have affectionately joked that the twins are going as DIVAS and that perhaps multiple outfit changes are in order on the night of Halloween because after all, that's what a real diva would do! Nah, I'm NOT going to do that but I do find it very funny that their little minds and imaginations of what they want to be for Halloween changes all the time, hour by hour, day by day. If you ask them what they want to be for Halloween one moment, they'll tell you one thing, ask them again a little later on and you'll get an entirely different idea for their costume.

So, what is their costume you ask? Well, while we were shopping about a week ago, cruising up and down the costume aisles, the twins came across the outfit that they JUST HAD TO HAVE: Ariel the Mermaid. $100.00 later, we were leaving the store with two matching Ariel the Mermaid costumes. I do have a couple of props up my sleeve in case Halloween night comes and they start screaming out "I want to be the princess now". I have purchased a couple of princess crowns, and as soon as the shouts for changing to a princess start, I'll just whip out the crowns and say, "Oh, yaaaaaaaay, look now you have princess crowns - you're the princess mermaids." Problem solved!
