Roar!!

So . . . you have a 7-month-old, and although you know she isn’t going to care a bit about Halloween or costumes or candy, you feel compelled to have a costume for her on her 1st Halloween for fear you’ll be recorded in the “Journal of Bad Mommies.” Thus, you have “Miss Alexa the Roaring Lion.”
The funniest part about all of this is that this picture was taken seven days before Halloween simply as a test run for the costume (her hands & feet aren’t even covered with the little paws). Alexa never wore the outfit on the official holiday because we never made it to our church for its annual “Trunk or Treat” festivities which fell right around her feeding & bedtime. Oh well . . . I guess we’ll simply have the memory of her one costume photo op and the memory of the candy Mommy and Daddy never got to eat :) I suppose my hips will thank me later!

Here’s to Alexa’s first Halloween!! She sure makes that “roar” look pretty cute.
