BOO!!!

My aunt, SheShe (Sheila Hartsfield), is the maker of all things lovely in our family. I started looking for something for Suzy to wear for Halloween in like August. I try to plan in advance since SheShe usually makes all our fun stuff for us. I make sure to give her ample time to work her magic. I ran across this picture online one night while search for a Minnie Mouse costume! This photo was my inspiration for Suzy's costume this year.

Why Minnie? Well, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is her absolute favorite TV show. We have like 100 episodes recorded on our DVR and I have some downloaded on her iPad. If we cut the TV on it has to be on MM and if I crank my car MM better be on the iPad. Ole Mickey and Minnie have saved me from having numerous breakdowns on long trips!! Since she loves the show so much, I thought I would let her be Minnie for Halloween.

You are gonna have to wait to see the sweet Mouse! 

Suzy goes to Tattle Tales a couple days a week when Scott doesn't get to come home. They are always very good about letting me know in advance when they have pictures, if she has a party, if she needs to bring certain things, etc...... They let me know about a week in advance what she needed to have for the Halloween party, but they forgot to share some other very important information. When we walked into daycare Thursday morning I had everything they told me to bring and I was feeling over prepared. I had even put a little black tank top on her to match Halloween colors (it was almost 80 degrees outside). Well, the feeling of being over-prepared vanished as soon as I rounded the corner to take Suzy into her classroom. She was the only kiddo there without a Halloween costume on. They forgot to tell me they could dress up. I dropped her off and started crying as soon as I got in my car. I felt absolutely horrible. I wanted to just go back in there, scoop her up, and take her home. I was heartbroken for her. She didn't know/care that she didn't have a costume, but I sure did. "Mom of the Year", Amy Smith.... UGH! By 8:00 Suzy had a sweet little costume that Robin found, and she looked adorable in it. I felt much better after I saw her dressed up like the other kiddos.

I picked Suzy up after school and we went to Mimi's house to get dressed. She was already hyped up from her party at daycare, and putting on her costume just fueled her fire. She loved it. We only made a few stops since she is such a hassle to get in and out of the car! We had to go to Memaw and Papa's, Jon Moores, Valerie's, and Mrs. Sandra's. She was a big hit at all her destinations!

She had to take the Toon Car to Jon and Lakay's house. What famous mouse would walk down the street? Suzy Mouse wouldn't just go by car, but she also got pushed! Fame gets the best of all girls sometimes.

Lucy tagged along in hopes that she would drop some candy! 

Waiting for Jon to come to the door! 

He had to get a photo of our Minnie! 

She wanted the M&Ms immediately! 

Satisfied with her candy stash and heading back to the car! 

It is tough to get a big dress and your purse in a little coupe! 

I am a bit obsessed with making traditions and taking pictures where we took them the previous year. I really like to compare the differences in Suzy. Since we took pictures by Jon's mums last year, we had to take pictures by the mums this year as well.

When left Jon's we headed to see Memaw and Papa. They loved her costume and loaded her up with candy. Papa kept telling her to get more! She didn't mind hoarding all their candy! When we left their house we headed to Burnsey's house. She and Briar got Suzy a special bag full of all her favorite things: sour worms, Sour Patch Kids, Minnie Mouse cookies, a Minnie cup, etc..... She is rotten, I tell ya.

This is the face I captured when she bit into the Tootsie Pop. :) 

Suzy saw Mickey on the bag and knew immediately that it was gonna be a good present!! 

Burnsey was more excited than Suzy, I think?! 

Bryar and Suzy.... She had started getting tired at this point! 

 She was sugared up and ill by the time 7:00 rolled around. We were home and she was asleep by 7:30 Thursday night! The girl was worn slap out!

Sweet baby girl watching Minnie on her iPad on our way home.

Here are a few photos of Sue Baby that I took last year....... Boy, the differences in her are amazing!
