Why am I dressed like a fish?
Here's Amelia on Halloween. We wanted to buy her a hot dog costume from Old Navy but they were sold out (I guess that's what happens when you go on Oct 30), so we got her a mermaid one for $5. Chris kept calling her his "little tuna" which I thought was funny. Even more funny was that she'd try to kick her legs and it would flop the tail around, just like a real fish. She didn't get the joke but liked the attention.
During the day, Mela and a couple other babies got dressed up and went to the local community centre. It was more for older kids (the babies didn't really get why people kept pointing at them and laughing) but it was fun for the moms. That night she made a brief appearance on the porch for the "trick or treaters" but then had a meltdown and had to be put to bed. Next year will be much more fun, I'm sure.
Next year we'll have more candy, too, so we won't have to turn out the lights halfway through and hide behind the curtains!
