Halloween shenanigans
So I'm sick. Friday at work, I started to have a scratchy throat and then it was full on painful and I had my nurse do a strep test and there was the answer: strep. On Halloween. Unfair.
Anyway, Ella had plans and she wasn't going to be deterred, so I drugged up, went home and found the love of my life making bacon. It's apparently the magical cure for Strep.
Ella wouldn't eat supper because she wanted candy. So I told her to at least eat some bacon. Her response?
"Princess don't eat bacon, Mommy."
"What do they eat, Ella?"
"Cereal."
"What kind of cereal do princesses eat?"
"Froot Loops."
So she had cereal for supper. It's hard to argue with an almost 3 year old in white tights and white shirt with sparklies on her face waiting to put on a princess dress to go trick or treating.
Her wee friend Kayla came over in her vampire costume, and we headed over to Piggy's house. When we got there, the princess and the vampire knocked on the door and Danny came out of the house just as scary as could be and gave them each candy. Ella reached into her bag and said, "Candy! Open it." I told her that we could eat it when we were done. That we can't eat it now.
She looked at me and said, "I'm done."
She had come for candy, gotten her candy and she was finished.
About 4 houses further up the road (once we convinced her to come with us), she announced that this was not enough candy. She also made a point to tell people that she wanted "that one" while pointing in the candy bowl.
Yep, she's a halloween vet now. Whenever we see a sparkly dress or go to Piggy's I think she'll want to go trick or treat.
