Trick or Treat!

The Witch had a Cat.

And a very tall hat.

And long ginger hair that he wore in a plait.

The Cat picked green fur at the fabric store.

But it wound up being too heavy for her.
 (I did not invent this amazing costume. I followed the excellent instructions here: http://www.chocolatehairvanillacare.com/2011/10/family-friday-homemade-hello-kitty.html

Amazing props to you, Rory! This thing was really neat. But just a bit too big for an almost 3 year old.)

"It too heavy, Mama."

So we fixed ears on a band

And gloves on her hands

Before we set out for candy land

And whoosh... They were gone.

The night air was cool

Sophie wore tulle

As we walked to the houses next door to our school

And somehow we lost the long ginger plait

But this was still the best Halloween yet

And his first costume parade.
