What’s a girl to do on Halloween on the prairie?
Dressing up like Strawberry Shortcake, cowgirl style with boots and her sidekick a strawberry seemed like the thing to do yesterday.
Miss A was rocking her strawberry costume as a potty trained two year old. Her mama should have thought that through a little more but we were having so much fun.
Strawberry Shortcake and Miss Strawberry went to the local nursing home party where it was a scary tour through dark “dungeons” but plenty of friendly faces.
Then we stopped at Daddy’s office. Miss Strawberry was busy and refused to go to the bathroom. Mommy should have thought that through but we kept going.
The girls were all smiles with Daddy…and got plenty of hugs from Nana Carol and Grandpa Eldon.
Raggedy Anika wore a Pull Up and she was so happy in her costume, gathering sweets and treats from family and friends.
We had similar nights. It’s great to go to the nursing home. I lights up so many eyes to see the kids in costumes. Our local nursing home also does a maze (made out of taped together appliance boxes) in the physical therapy room that the kids just love.
I did remember the pull-up, but Bud announced that he had to go while we were out which meant an emergency trip to Grandma’s house. You’re lucky you were home when it happened.
It’s a Halloween you’ll never forget now! It is also a reminder as to why I keep dragging my feet to potty train my 21 month old even though she is so ready.
oh, they are cute. nice save, prairie mom!
Great save Momma! Cute photos too 🙂
Thanks for taking one for the team! Our non-potty trained, almost 3, ghost decided tonight was the night to wear big boy underwear. And would do nothing else. So we headed in town & made our first couple of stops when I remembered I had forgotten a pull-up or diaper! Donk! We kept going though & at one point he said “me go pee bad.” He needed to pee & did it without reminding! Sorry Miss Strawberry & thank you! I’m glad your mama had an extra costume…very cute!!
As a mama to a child with peanut allergies, I also want to say “THANK YOU” for accommodating your candy store! That was super-sweet of you!
Absolutely adorable! And of course it is a bonus to get to wear, not one, but two costumes! Thanks so much for sharing! (KUdos on the potty trained 2! Mine are 21 months and showing no signs!)
