Queen and Princess's First Halloween Costume

by Michelle Lalic on November 25, 2016

Everyone has its own favorite time of the year. Who else is the first one on the list to be so excited about celebrations? KIDS. For birthdays, kids were excited to blow candles and opening gifts. For New Year, there's fireworks display and a noisy sound of hornpipes. But before the year ends, we still have Halloween Party then Christmas comes as the longest observance of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Speaking of Halloween Party, I believe that it was my kids favorite time of celebration. Halloween as known and marking of different traditions such as costume parties and trick-or-treating on October 31. Some people remembering their demise loved ones by cleaning their tombs, light the candles and offering flowers. Going on a vacation during this time may be best for some to escape from their busy lives.

Kids as you may ask, they want this time to dress up, get lots and lots of chocolate and candies. It's great to fulfill their dreams as scary ghosts, witches, vampires, and zombies. Themed costumes like cosplaying, cartoon characters, cute little fairies, Princes and Princesses and some creatives. Kids are really adorable when dressed up, but when my little pumpkins included, it makes my heart melt. I am happy to see them happy.

Last October 28, my kids joined Halloween Party for the first time in school as their activity for the month of November. My Queen is now grade one at her age of five. I'm proud, of course, because she can now read, write and count and able to participate well in school. I always make her attend the school activities for her to enjoy going to school. So for this season, I let her became a Fairy, for once. Actually I have two little fairies. My youngest won't allow it that her sister is the only one wearing wings and holding magic wand. Double trouble. Double expenses..:)

Queen and Princess

Good thing, my mother-in-law bought them dresses from Dubai when she went there for vacation. It matches the theme as fairy so I don't need to buy one. I just bought one more wings for my Princess as I already borrow one from the neighbor. Flower headbands, shoes, and makeup (to make them more pretty) were already at home, those were also given by my in-laws. I also bought two pumpkin baskets for the treats and sticker diamonds for face decoration as amulet. I know, I saved a little.

Here's some photos at school:

I took them picture with Ylijah after dancing thriller and jaiho, sorry I don't know if that's the title.

As you can see, no more fake amulet at Queen's forehead and wings removed by Princess. Kids will always be kids. They can't stay long being properly dressed, they're uncomfortabe.

Knock! Knock! They're asking for treats now. Princess, though not yet schooling, I prepared her to join trick or treating, since it's for kids, I know she'll enjoy it and to avoid jealousy. Take not: Jealousy is the number one factor why my kids fighting.

It was jammed and hot going to each room but my kids still not giving up just to have candies. They both got a basket full of candies. They were so happy. They experienced one of the best celebration for kids. I saw their big smile when we got home.

Lots of candies happily showed to their grandparents. Some moms were generous enough to give not just candies but also zesto juice and cupcakes. Thanks God for all these.

I may not be a good mom, but still I want what's best and what will make my kids super happy.
