When we started talking about Halloween costumes a couple of months ago, I started suggesting different options to Turner and even showed her some costumes on the internet. One day I mentioned that she could be an M&M and she indicated that she really liked that choice. When I asked her what color (knowing that I could easily purchase an M&M costume online) she clearly said, "Purple!" Hmm. "Turner, they don't make purple M&M costumes (nor purple M&M's for that matter)." Her response, "But I want to be a purple M&M! Purple is my favorite!"
I suggested that I could attempt to make this costume for her and she was sold. The day we went to Hobby Lobby to pick out the material, thread, etc. I knew I was doing the right thing. I was looking at some ribbon for another project, and before I knew it Turner had placed two spools of purple thread, one bolt of purple tulle, and one bolt of purple gingham in my basket. This girl loves purple! The costume was made in stages, and tried on periodically for sizing and logistics of movement. I had valuable input from Mark and my Mom, and I am beyond thrilled with how it turned out!!
Turner got a huge laugh out of this inflated M&M costume, worn by one of my former students!
There was a small petting zoo this year, and Turner seemed to enjoy attempting to feed the animals, despite their lack of excitement for the hay!
And of course, there was candy....
...and games....
...and good friends...
...and at the end of the night, one tired little girl!
And just for fun, check out how much our sweet girl has changed each year over the course of the three Fall Festivals she's attended!
Fall Festival 2008 - almost 1 year old
Parkway Fall Festival 2009 - almost 2 years old
Happy Halloween everyone!!
And a very happy birthday wish to our friend Star!
