The Halloween Happenings of Minnie Mouse and Princess Leia

Minnie Mouse and Princess Leia started off their "Halloween happenings" this year with a costume day and pumpkin patch at school last Thursday. They were both really excited to wear their costumes. In fact, Princess Leia's teachers said she even wore her wig (or "twig" as Avery called it) most of the day, and Minnie Mouse did not want to take her costume off at nap time even though I sent an extra outfit that would be more comfy.

On Halloween Day, Leia and Minnie helped me carve their pumpkins from the school pumpkin patch. That evening we stopped by Sonic for some 50 cent corn dogs and then went to our little church carnival for awhile. They had games, face painting, clowns making balloon animals, and a Disney princess bounce house, which Leia and Minnie LOVED. After doing all the activities there, we came back to the neighborhood and trick-or-treated for awhile. After going around the block, Leia and Minnie's buckets were full and they were getting tired, so we headed home for a little pre-bedtime sugar. They barely made it in the door before plopping down to pick out the handful of treats they wanted to eat. Judging by the bowl full of treats on my counter, Minnie Mouse and Princess Leia had a sweet and successful Halloween!
