...lived twelve little girls in two straight lines.
They left the house at half past nine in two straight lines in rain or shine.
The smallest one was Madeline...
The words to the Madeline books have been etched in my mind forever now :) It was only fitting that Norah wanted to be Madeline for Halloween and she had oh so much fun! Each time she got another piece of candy we had to explain why exactly she couldn't open it immediately, but she got the hang of it after a while. She even worked up the nerve to timidly say "Trick or Treat" by about the tenth house, and then was just as excited to go home to give out candy to all the other kids we saw milling about the neighborhood!
As soon as we stepped inside the house she had to tear off her costume, change herself and her baby doll into their matching ghost costumes (custom made by Grandma of course), dump out her candy and try each one. She only wanted one bite of each kind and then it was OK to save the rest for another day. She stayed up waaay past her bedtime watching "Scared Shrekless" in between running to the door at every ring of the doorbell to pass out candy. We counted 30 kids in just over an hour! My little Madeline is a Halloween lover just like her Mom & Dad :)
:o)What's not to love about this little Madeline! She is loving being in character and those little feet and legs are soooo cute! That "i'm up to something..." look is the best! She's our favorite little ghostie too. Picture perfect in every way. You did good Renee and Colin.
ReplyDeleteMy granddaughter is so beautiful. She looks just like Madeline in this outfit. Be sure you share these pictures with Patty.
ReplyDeleteAnd, these pictures are brilliant - so much better than professional ones.
