Halloween Festivities November 2, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Family, Holidays, Islands, Little Man Dallin, Princess Hannah, Saba , trackbackLast Halloween, Hannah wore a bikini and grass skirt (you know, to represent those other island half way around the world from the Caribbean) because it was SO DANG HOT on Saba. Even in her itsy, bitsy, teeny, weenie, orange floral bikini, she was sweaty. Halloween day is probably the hottest day of the year in the Caribbean.
This year, I took her to the mall to escape the cold and so she could Trick or Treat in the afternoon. (I know, I know, I’m a little crazy about sticking to a schedule and getting her to bed early. Some of my siblings people have referred to me as obsessive, but I prefer to be referred to as consistent.)
Hannah, Weston (her cousin) and Emma (her friend) Trick or Treating at the mall.
Always one to express her desires, she asked a random mall employee to fix her ballet strings and tie them into a bow. She is very particular about things being in order . . . I wonder where she picked this up . . .
We then headed over to my oldest brother Brad’s house. His wife, Diane, is an awesome host and we all enjoyed a great Halloween get together. I refer to their house as the ‘Kool Aid House.’ The place where the family naturally converges to hang out, whether they like it or not. 
I also got into the spirit of Halloween . . .
I convinced Brian to try o the latest accessory must have, and in return he informed me about the trend of trucker hats being in and then out and then in and then out again. And now in again. I’m so out of the fashion loop, I thought they were in for like two seconds four years ago and went out to NEVER make their way back.
Obviously, I’m so out of the loop.
But I do think my little guy accessorizes his outfit well.

So cute! Love the little costumes!! I hear you on keeping to the schedule! It only affects the mom if you don’t keep to it!
the “pumpkin baby” looks suites brian well. perhaps he’ll try it for himself some day! love the clippy that is being used to hold up dallin’s head, very creative!
Oooooh, they are all so adorable. Did Hannah love the whole getting candy thing?? She must have been so sweet saying “Trick or treat!!”
PS. I saw “The Shack” in your reading list. I just finished it myself and would love to hear your opinion on it.
Rebecca, Um . . . I’m sorry to say I haven’t read The Shack. The books on my sidebar are a widget from Amazon. David put the ad on my site to pay for this blog since I have my own domain name. However, I have read most of the books advertised. I will pick up The Shack RIGHT AWAY and read it so we can chat about it . . .
I loved this post…sad to see however you are still “wearing” dallin…hope things get better. Im now over the colick but dealing with severe sleep deprivation and going to resort to the ferber method of sleep training….grr..if its not one thing with tristan its another.
