Halloween Parade

For an entire year, Emmy has been saying she wanted to be a ghost for Halloween this year. (Literally; she first told us while we were trick-or-treating last year.) I thought at some point her princess obsession would trump that idea, but, no, the ghost persisted. So there we were, a few weeks before Halloween, still insisting on a ghost costume, when I realized that she probably wouldn't do well with the traditional sheet-over-the-head costume. Thus, with a plain white t-shirt, a little black felt, and a lot of white tulle, just in time for her Halloween Parade at preschool, ballerina ghost was created -- and she loved it.






Not surprisingly, a couple of her friends were dressed up as princesses...




...but I bet she was the only ballerina ghost in town!
