She was supposed to be a witch

Sure. The day started out innocently enough, and yeah, Chloe looks mighty angelic over there doesn't she?










So we enjoyed the Not So Scary Halloween Party at Disney that we went to on Oct 6 that we decided to take the family again. Barry got Fox an awesome little ghost outfit. He was sooo cute. Chloe was going to wear her little witch outfit that she had worn

And sure, I had built it up in my mind that Chloe would cooperate like she said she would and be a witch in the beautiful witch out fit that she wore last year.




This was Chloe LAST halloween in the same outfit. At least she kept it on that day.

Last year I lost her hat. I almost cried a couple times! But some sweet soul turned it into Disney a couple days after the party and we finally got it back. I was heartbroken at the time.





And THIS year...








Wait for it...



wait for it....











Yep. There it is! Full on melt-down mode!! Chloe did NOT want to wear the witch outfit.

I don't know if the darn thing scratched her, if she didn't like the color, if it JUST wasn't what SHE wanted to wear, or if the planets just weren't aligned right. But she WOULD NOT wear this dress.


Chloe HAD to wear 'bloomers'--her big girl undies.









All she kept saying was "take it off! Take it OFF!!!"




So she wore another Halloween outfit. With spiderwebs on the legs and a cute orange shirt that said 'BOO". Not quite what I has thinking of...but oh well.















Fox is ALL smiles for Daddy.














Barry bought Fox this darling ghost outfit





















I came across this photo. Chloe's first Halloween...Oct 2003. She was probably 5 weeks or so. Man, she looks hammered!












Our usual gang of suspects. From the left is Michael McElroy, the kids fairy godparents Thomas (big tall guy in the back), his lovely wife
Rene, and us.












One of the first things we did is get Chloe's face painted.

As much as she loves to play with my make up, she LOVED doing this. She didn't know what she was supposed to do when the girl was trying to tell her to close her eyes. Chloe wanted to watch the makeup go on. But she eventually realized the lady was just trying to put eye shadow on her and so she did close her eyes.














She has a not to 'sure about this' kind of look going on.


















Always have to have enough glitter!











The finished product. Of course mere seconds later, she ran her fingers over the black line and smudged her makeup.












Chloe and I both got painted last year.














Me and Fox hangining out.



Fox was such a champ that night. He rode quite a few rides. He did Aladin's Magic Carpet Ride, Snow White's Big Adventure, Pirates of the Carribean, and of course the Haunted Mansion!












Oh cool! A carousel ride! Chloe rode this and had a ball!!










This turned out to be another one of my top 5 favorite photos of Chloe.


She looks enchanted and so lost in her little world.









Taking it all in.















Last year riding the Merry-go-round at the Not So Scary party. Wow...she's grown so much!













Chloe loved the Barnstormer rollercoaster. She and Barry rode it about 3 times right after the other. She kept saying "again, again!".







We discovered she also loves riding the teacup ride.



Chloe and Barry are in the teacup next to the tea pot.









And right there in front. Chloe LOVED to spin!













I finally got brave enough to ride Barnstormer with her. I was so scared of her slipping out, so I held her so tight she was probably mighty uncomfortable!

But we did get to ride in the first car! Woohoo!




There's me and Chloe getting ready to get on Barnstormer!
