RV First Friends Halloween Party

At River Vale First Friends this week, Reagan got to put on her Jessie costume (from the movie Toy Story 2) and go to her first Halloween party of the season! All the moms brought treats, then we placed it in baskets on chairs around the room and the kids went trick-or-treating.

Of course, being the flakey mother that I sometimes am, I forgot to bring a bucket/bag/basket for Reagan to fill with candy ... so I improvised and gave her this reusable grocery bag that I keep in the car (a gift that my sweet neighbor Lizzie brought back from the UK for me). Oh well, it beats the pillow cases that my sisters and I used when we were kids, right?

This is Sagiana ... doesn't she make an adorable Dorothy? Too bad you can't see the sparkley red shoes! Sagiana's mother Jackie noticed that Reagan's rain boots weren't the best match for her Jessie costume, so she told me Reagan could borrow a pair of Sagiana's cowboy boots. She was nice enough to drop them off for us later that day and the next morning, Reagan found them when she woke up ...
This picture cracks me up; I hadn't done laundry in over a week, so we were down to the summer pajamas in her pajama drawer. For those of you who know Reagan, this isn't a big deal, since she runs HOT all the time ... even in the winter, she sleeps out of the blankets and manages to sweat. It's crazy! As she got into bed the night before, she tried stalling by asking for a drink of my water ... of course, it spilled down her white shirt with berries (that matches the shorts), so I changed it to this pink shirt. Once she put the boots on, she just had to put the Jessie hat on too. And I love the bed-head hair do. She was walking around saying, "Howdie Pardner!" and "Yee-haw!"
