For the past month, Elena has repeatedly said she does not want to wear a costume. We had a costume birthday party over the weekend and she went as the defiant two year old. She didn't seem to mind that all the other kids were dressed up. Tonight, as much as Lorraine tried to coax her into the Tinkerbell costume (a wonderful hand-me down from cousin Maggie), Elena refused. Finally, Lorraine was able to talk her into a Good Little Witch. Five minutes before Trick-or-Treating, we threw together an "outfit" (since clearly costume is not a good connotation for Elena) with her black pants, a black long sleeved shirt and with Carl's quick thinking, his black shirt tied into a cape. And she was off and running!
Surprise photo attack. I think Carl was super excited Elena finally was dressed up :)
Happy Halloween from the Stiehl Family! Can you guess our costumes? Carl--Mr. Mom/House Husband, Pop--Ted Williams circa 1936, Lorraine--witch, Elena--the good little witch.
The witches of Halloween!
Elena has been enjoying all the decorations leading up to Halloween. She likes to go around telling me what is "spooky". Here she is checking out the neighbor's spookiness :)
We hope you had a wonderful Halloween!
