Halloween Recap

This Halloween, Maya was in charge of the pumpkin designs. She decided that she wanted one to be scary and the other happy. Jason did the scary jack-o-lantern, and the next day I was supposed to make the happy one with her. Well, the newspaper happened to have some pictures of really cool jack-o-lanterns that I showed to Maya and she changed her mind. She decided on something a little, nontraditional:

It looked pretty cool all lit up:

Jason's was much creepier:

Maya is our little princess. She loves all things princess, and has memorized every princess movie she has ever watched. Whenever she puts on a dress, she declares herself to be a princess, walking around in her dress-up shoes and tiara. We have picked out her costumes for the past few Halloweens, but this year would be her pick; we were prepared for a princess Halloween. We were in Target, looking for supplies for her Halloween party, when she spotted a costume. THE costume. She new immediately that she had found what she wanted to be for Halloween and wouldn't think of anything else. Maya was so excited when she got to wear it to school:

When she was two, a little boy in Maya's class dressed up as Spiderman and it really scared her; she was afraid of people in masks ever since then. When she held up her costume she said, "Look, I'm not afraid anymore! I'm not afraid of Spiderman. I am Spiderman!"

This kid is totally awesome.
