| So when we asked "Hey Gracie, what do you want to be for Halloween? Do you want to be HOCKY PLAYER?" Her answer was NO! |
| Do you want to be a fancy FANCY DANCING GIRL?" Her answer was NO! |
| Well, what do you WANT to be, we asked. And she answered "AN ORANGE PUMPKIN PRINCESS!!" |
| We didn't have a clue what that would look like, but we started with this pattern |
| GRACIE'S HALLOWEEN ADVENTURES |
| . |
| and ended up with THIS . . . . |
| THE ORANGE PUMPKIN PRINCESS |
| and she seemed VERY HAPPY everywhere she went!! |
| In Downtown East Lansing and at the Lansing Mall |
| Trick or Treating the merchants . . . |
| . . . at BOO AT THE ZOO in Lansing's Potter Park . . . . |
| "C'mon Dad! Let's get this wagon built so we can GO! I am a PRINCESS and this is my Royal Coach!!" |
| "Awesome! I am TOTALLY the cutest princess here!!" |
| "Wow! Goodies from 'pooky characters! Hey. Are you sure you put something in there?" |
| "Daddy! The monkeys are looking at ME!" |
| "Gee. It's been a BIG day and I am so sleepy! I sure am glad Dad got my wagon built so Maddy and I can ride back to the car." |
| . . . at the costume parade at Nursery School. . . . |
| . . . clowning around at the Granholm for Gov headquarters . . . |
| . . . and coming home after going around the neighborhood with Maddy. |
| OTHER FUN IN OCTOBER |
| Nana puts a silly bow in Gracie's hair and we get down to business making cupcakes to take to school for Halloween party treats. |
| yum! |
