The Daily Hailey

Halloween is bittersweet for me this year. If things had gone differently, we’d have a three month old going from house to house with us, being adorable in whatever we ended up dressing him up in, and likely sleeping through the whole thing. Would have been wonderful! If things had gone differently still, I’d be about 27 weeks pregnant with Jamin, who would’ve been confirmed as a boy. For some reason, I’ve been really liking the maternity skeleton shirts this year, with the little skeleton baby over the belly. I probably would’ve tried to have one for today. But things did not go those ways. Rather, I’m trying to focus on these hilariously adorable four children I have here at home!! And they are ridiculously cute!!!

Dekker went to school dressed as a pizza slice 🍕 He was SO stoked about being pizza, and even just on our walk from the van to the school, kids were commenting on his costume. He felt pretty cool. It didn’t fit perfectly inside of his jacket, haha! But he rolled with it 🙂

I was able to get my way into his pizza costume this morning, so with that, I’m pretty sure we’ll have someone dressed up in it pretty much every year from here on out.

Laela was totally on board with being a fireman until she remembered that she had a couple of princess dresses in her closet. Game changer. She changed from one dress to the other about five thousand times last week before deciding on the pink one. She said she was Anna. It was a bit of a rude awakening to learn that Anna doesn’t actually wear pink. She settled on going as Rapunzel, even though Rapunzel also does not wear pink. Close enough. So, today, Laela will grace preschool (and the town) as a princess. 👸

After some convincing, Rowan has agreed to trick or treat as a dinosaur. 🐉 But not just any dinosaur. He would ONLY go as a “tiny and funny dinosaur.” He was VERY specific, hahaha! We finally convinced him to try even just half of the costume on, and he giggled like crazy when he saw himself in the mirror. So I guess it passes as a funny dinosaur costume! A funny dinosaur that will only have his picture takes once.

Solly’s costume is my favorite. If you know me, thats not a surprise. He is going as a pineapple this year! 🍍 I am SO stoked!! Its so soft and cozy and warm, and I think he’ll be more than comfortable. Except for the fact that he’s been feeling under the weather for a good long while now. Poor kid! I hope he’s not just a whiny weepy pineapple all night!

Behold! Our little pack of sweeties, dressed and ready to go!!

Have a great night of candy and pretending!! 🍬🍭🍬🍭🍬🍭
