Round about October 1 I realized that unless she was going to wear a brown paper bag with a brown sock as a tail, there was no way I would get her costume made. Fortunately Target came through for us, again.
We were at my parents in NJ for the weekend – celebrating Grandmas birthday. Bean was VERY excited to have Grandma and PopPop to trick or treat with. They underestimated her stamina though. I think they expected to hit the 8-10 houses on their street. They came back an hour later. After every house she would get off their porch and set her (mine from long ago) pumpkin down and ask Grandma to shine the flashlight in to see what she got.
All in all, it was an excellent weekend. Not sure how happy my sister-in-law is with me though. My nephew got a jump-o-lene for his birthday. My rationale is that he is always jumping on things he is not supposed to, so now he has someplace safe where jumping is what he is supposed to do!


you know where you are with said
Oh, she is SO cute. Next year, it’s T@rget for us.
