Happy Halloween!

I realize we're already in November and I'm a tad slow on getting to my Halloween post, but I'll blame it on the weather.  It has made me want to curl up with a good book {which I've done :} and chow down on warm comfort food {which I've also done}.  I'll have to share my wondrous chicken pot pie in a pan recipe.  It's perfect for these increasingly colder days.
 Mmmm.

Me, Spunky and Miss E had such a fun little Halloween.  {Hope all of you did as well.} We all went trunk-or-treating for the first time and it was so much fun just to watch E try to figure out what the heck was going on.  She did get whatever was in her purple pumpkin was actually pretty tasty once you got the wrapper off.  Talk about baby sugar high...
{We only let her have one sucker-that was enough}

But on to her costume!  I said she wasn't a princess, but the gold tutu was for...
A FRAGGLE
  And man alive, she was the cutest Red Fraggle you have ever seen!
 Ever since she was old enough I've rotted her brain with the 80's cartoon Fraggle Rock. 
And she loves it.  
 I thought about her being the usual, a cupcake, fairy, or a butterfly...
 But I then thought it would be fun to make my own costume and do something original.  Which worked; no one really got who she was.
Granted there was really only a small handful of people who even knew what she was, because of her tail.
Does no one watch classic 80's muppet shows?!

  I even got, "oooh what a cute...uh, Minnie Mouse." 
Hmm.

{High five 80's muppet shows!}

Well, there's always next year.  :}


What did you and yours dress up as?
