Halloween 2013 - Smart Cookie

So the plan is (has been) to catch up with the monthly updates (5 or maybe 6 left!) and then move to a more event-based and hopefully less overwhelming posting schedule! I am still trying to find time to go through all the photos and get the monthly updates caught up, but wanted to post for Halloween because Abigail was so darn cute in her smart cookie costume!

And I'm also getting this post up thanks to Becky, who is also trying to catch up on her blog before their next little one arrives any day - and she had her good camera out and taking pictures! So thanks, Becky, for the Halloween blog post found here! Check out the second half of that post for the awesome trick or treating photos to commemorate the event!

A little background - we got a great princess costume in the clothes for this size that we got from Abigail's cousin (who has supplied 97% of her clothing to date - thank you, Karlynn!) but for some reason the idea of a princess just didn't sit right with me. Now when Abigail is old enough to ask for what costume she wants, I will have no issue getting her a princess costume if she wants it. But at the same time, something just seemed off for me this year, imagining my little girl as a princess. I tried to think of a spit-fire costume but came up short, so smart cookie it was! Bonus: getting good use out of Claude's graduation hat from this spring!
