Hallowe'en

[przed]

Ros and I worked together on our jack o' lantern this year. She worked on a design, I transferred it to the pumpkin and she did most of the carving. It worked out pretty well.



Tonight it was a cold and rainy night, but that didn't stop Ros and her friends from trick or treating. Ros wanted to be a cowgirl, so we put together bits and bobs from Value Village. The vest was adult-sized, but we had it altered down to fit, and there were no cowboy hats her size, so we settled for a kids version of the Indiana Jones hat. She was insistent that she wasn't going to wear a bandana, in spite of the fact that it looked pretty adorable on her. (I couldn't get a picture with the bandana.)



We went out with one of her friends, the friend's cousin and the cousin's three-year-old sister. Ros was in her element helping the three-year-old up and down the steps of the houses in our neighbourhood. (She loves helping younger kids. She's dying to be old enough to start babysitting.)

Whoa, cool carving of your pumpkin! Well done, both of you.

And yay for cowgirl Ros! Okay, the hat isn't traditional, but it looks great on her! As does the vest. Mostly, though, I'm just admiring the joy that is shining out of her in that photo. *g*

The two of us have done the pumpkins the last two years.

Ros has a good eye for what looks good on her. As soon as she tried on the Indy hat she stopped looking at any traditional stetson ones. And she is just glowing in that pic. Hallowe'en is one of her very favourite holidays. She was up before any of us, which only happens when she's really excited.
